Synopsis: Morgan searches for Al, only to discover that he’s not the only one looking for her, and that his search may have put a target on his own back. (IMDb)
Reclamation focuses on Al, who we haven’t seen a lot of this season, so it’s good to catch up on where she is in the story this season. Meanwhile, the episode also features Morgan and Grace as they found themselves trying to save Al from the strangers dressed in black. Al is hesitant to tell Morgan what she’s doing and who she’s running from. This irritates Morgan because he feels like she’s pushing people away again and, in particular, pushing him away.
But Al now has her own thing that she doesn’t want to share with Morgan and the others. That being said, this was fine. Al is a private person despite her wanting to uncover everyone else’s secrets on videotape. She’s nowhere near as good at dealing with that same pressure once the camera lens is placed upon her. While Reclamation seems like more of a filler episode than anything else, it does give viewers some answers regarding the people Al is running from. With Morgan and Grace’s help, Al decides to set a trap for them and it is a beauty! Suffice it to say; viewers will be surely pressing the rewind button for a minute or two on this one.
In the end, Reclamation does leave viewers with a lasting feeling and that is that no matter how many times Morgan tries to bring people together, things always seem to have a way of just not working out as planned. This is surely frustrating for him, especially when he encounters resistance, as he does with both Victor and Alycia. This hasn’t been much of a point of contention until this episode, but it appears that Victor isn’t the only person who wants and needs control. Morgan wants things done his way as well, and he’s always trying to convince people his way is better.
But is it? We shall see.
