Quotes

Dr. Martin Stein: Are you homesick?
Jefferson 'Jax' Jackson: You checking up on me Gray?
Dr. Martin Stein: Given what you've witnessed, what you've endured, would that really be so bad? You know you just witnessed the very worst of humanity. We share a psychic connection, yet I still can't even begin to fathom what you must be feeling. Must be like your heart is broken.

User Reviews

Best episode of the show so far

Best episode of the show to this point and Jefferson Jackson is the star. I have never been emotionally touched by this show previously, except during the death of Snart. This episode however took me down the feels-train. The scene when Jefferson was talking to the slaves and when they started to sing was an emotional punch in my face, unlike the rest of the show. Don't get me wrong, I do like Legends, but this episode was something special.

The zombies were great and the episode was really well balanced with talking, fighting and character development.

Overall a great episode and I really look forward to the rest of the season.

Final verdict 9.4/10
