Katie, as has already proven to be her way, isn’t liable to exercise such patience. He’s stunned and disappointed, but is still willing to play the long game if it means reuniting with Charlie. During their chat, she also urges Will to reconcile his humane impulses with the reality that going against the status quo is a pointless and deadly endeavor. She even tips Will off to the fact that he can snag a quick chat with Carlos on his bus before it heads to the Factory. She’s just operating out of fear, a fear that motivated her toward compliance. than making assumptions is assuming there’s anyone you can trust.Īctually, Phyllis isn’t all bad.
The only thing more dangerous in occupied L.A. Phyllis, in turn, fails to make good on her promise that Will’s neighbor Carlos (Jacob Vargas) would be released from lockup and put in his charge as an informant. Rather than run a counter-Resistance team, he’s been relegated to a post as head driver for sanitation and introduced to his real boss, Phyllis (Kathy Baker, she of the orgasmic Edward Scissorhands haircut), who he deduces was once a CIA big shot. Only a couple days on the job as Proxy Snyder’s inside man, and Will’s already wised up to the Occupation’s duplicitous ways. But for all she knows, he’s been brainwashed to believe his parents abandoned him for a futile Resistance. Katie takes for granted that her son Charlie is alone on the other side of that wall.
1 of getting by in a new world order: Never assume anything. Josh Holloway as Will, Kathy Baker as Phyllis.
