Note: Full spoilers for the episode follow.
In this third episode of The Tomorrow People the show took some baby steps towards moving beyond its early routine of having Stephen find a problem, argue with John and Cara about whether he’s allowed to help, and have the obligatory sneaking around Ultra sequence. We still got all of that but fortunately we got a bit more, as Cara’s backstory took center stage and Astrid moved closer to the action.
The most intriguing storyline this week, by far, was the Origin of Cara. That their breakouts not only introduce Tomorrow People to their own powers but also return any absent senses is a cool bit of information, and the way the episode depicted it was wonderfully done. After the chaos and panic of fighting off her date rapist, Cara’s point of view lets us in on her first moment of hearing- trees in the breeze and crickets. I didn’t buy her father being so quick so banish her (even if he was gentle about it, it was a banishment all the same), but hopefully we’ll get more information in the coming weeks about just how powerful that kid’s dad is and why running was such a quickly accepted option. Still, no matter how much plot or character information we might get I don’t for a second buy her dad’s reaction to his daughter hearing and talking for the first time in her life. That should have been AMAZING, and instead he treated it like a minor inconvenience.
