Well Worth the Investment

With the appearance of September (with hair) we are on the cusp of a finale. The boy is at the center of it all. He never speaks but is fearless. He is no boy and he knows more than anyone what is going on. The whole gang including September begin to move toward something. As the episode ends, escape is the number one concern. They work so hard to make it happen and yet the boy steps off the train, into the arms of the bad guys. Of course, there is a purpose in madness and we will soon see what is going on. Walter has been told that in order for the plan to come to fruition, he will have to sacrifice himself. That was 1said long ago, but the implications were different. What a great show.
