(May Contain Spoilers)
This episode was highly tense, and I loved the action in it, I felt that there was something at stake for all the characters. The moments with Murray and Mindy are particularly becoming my favourite, they are standing in front of the man who killed there son and the torture with not knowing what to do about it or how they want to do it to respect their sons memory. The lead up to the explosions are grand, I was on the edge of my seat throughout this whole episode. The only qualm I have is with the carriage explosion because it only blew up one and I would have thought it would have been more powerful than that.

Really enjoyed where this episode took us as we are only on episode 7/10, so the plot is building whilst other storylines are happening with each Hunter, which is great to see and keeps you on your toes. I’m excited to see what the Nazi’s bigger plot is and I think this episode is a great indication of where the series is going.
