Storyline

Jake painstakingly works out a way to prevent the vaccine from being destroyed and to inoculate his people. John Goetz's men engage in a shooting on Stanley's farm where his sister is killed. Major Beck grudgingly decides to take notice of a deep throat and thereby enable the saving of both Jake and the truth about the nuclear war mongering conspiracy, for which a secret prewar J&R report indicates government guilt.

User Reviews

Tragic

I won't forget this episode. The last 20 minutes are crazy and so heart-breaking. It really shows that you can't trust these guys and that absolutely no-one is spared in this show.

The build-up was well handled and I liked the character moments very much. This show is so captivating and good. I still can't believe it was cancelled.

Well, all I can say is: Watch Jericho and don't be afraid of this tragic episode. It is sad, it is full of tension, it is frustrating - but it moves the story forward.

10 out of 10. Just like that.
