Its an interesting angle forRunawaysto observe at this stage, and itmostlyworks, by putting the spotlight on Nico.

They also need to continue investigating.

He rifles through Geoffreys study instead and locates a gun in one of his dads drawers.

Alex grabs it, points it at his reflection, and aims.

Yeah, thats not good.

Is the genius inventor Victor Stein going insane?

Dale remains optimistic theyll find the dino somehow, but Stacey thinks its time to leave.

They have enough money, even without the serum theyve created bringing in a lot more cash.

And they could easily bring the kids at this point.

For one thing, Gert fully believes in her parents innocence.

Its an absurd request, and good on Chase for punching them again.

Like, now their state lacrosse title istotallyin jeopardy!

How could you, Karolina!

As Karolina puts it, theyre on Team Theres Gotta Be Another Explanation.

And they might have found it after all.

level in the church.

Hes just quit lacrosse, and he has some things to say.

Including what happened at the party.

He also hints that she means more to him than she thinks, but Karolina doesnt reciprocate romantically.

Hes stunned and then he has atonof questions.

Hes not the only one.

The question is: What were Victor and Robert doing there?

(Queries include: Were either of them super strong?

and What happened the night they died?

Not sure if Catherine would want to answer either of those.)

Now that Tina knows about it, they cant.

Their dreams are dashed, and even their protection the dinosaur cant save them.

Its over, Stacey sobs after Tina leaves.

Its a strong, brief scene that illustrates a typical parent-teen argument, only withmuchhigher, super stakes.

Before all this, though, the other parents carried out some nefarious deeds as well.

Aaaandthatshow Nico and Alex wind up spotting them at the police station after school.

Stunned, they leave hastily and regroup at a cafe, where Alex looks into the drive Gerts delivered.

Meanwhile, Leslie checks in again on her Gross Flaky Guy.

He asks her if shes having an affair, and she dismisses him before switching the subject.

But if Franks now in danger, so is Chase.

The episode ends with Nico calling Karolina about what she and Alex have discovered in Leslies files.

Karolina looks shocked as she listens to Nicos report while watching her parents spin around joyfully beside their pool.

So, yet again,Runawaysleaves us with a million more questions to be answered: Wheres Alex now?

What really happened to Amy?

(Hes obviously not, but whats going on?)

Surely you’re able to throw fans this bone, too.
