White to Play - act 1
But first, 'previously on', woohoo, such fun.
It's the earth, I guess showing us this is a global event.
Ring around the Rosies, in a young girls voice. And images of all the kids in a playground unconscious, on the ground, except for little Charlie, and her stuffed something or other. More kid's voices join hers, and then one of the kids get's up and says "times up".
Hmmm, spooky.
So, the kids have made a game out of the GBO. They all tell visions, only in the game it's great stuff that they want to happen, like going to Disneyland, or getting a pony. But Charlie doesn't want to play, and get's into a shoving match with a kids and her stuffy is torn.
And after being chastised by the teacher, she runs off and encounters what looks like the National Guard. Yipes!
Now we see what looks like a Future Vision Support Group for people having problems living one day at a time with 'the future breathing down his neck'?
Interesting, it was the AA meeting, but now they seem to be focusing on the GBO. And look, the National Guard is hanging out there too.
And Mark just doesn't seem to want to listen to others moan about their Futures. Could his fuse be getting short already?
Mark's sponsor (need to learn this guy's name) has a really good point. Everyone is dealing with a lot now, but most of them don't have a ready made support group to help them cope with the good or bad or strange that they saw. Plus there is the here and now to deal with, with all those deaths and the destruction left behind after the GBO. I mean, they blew up the newly restored Griffith Observatory, for heaven's sake.
When in the history of the world could you ask one question and every single person would know what you were referring to? Everyone is a prophet now, for better or worse.
18 agents have resigned in the past 3 days. Must not have had good visions. Or they had awesome visions of lying on a beach not being an FBI agent anymore.
Anastasia Markham, Homeland Security deputy secretary. A little snarky, to say the least. She wants to know why the little FBI Field Office in LA appointed itself the head of the GBO event.
Mark snarks back "unless another officer in another agency had a vision with more information than we know, let me know" and then he get's a call and excuses himself.
SCORE!
The Benfords got a call from Charlie's school and the discussion is about how she's not sharing what she saw in her vision yet. All the other kids are sharing, and she's not, which freaks me out big time. I mean, it could be about something that one of her parents saw, and how she's coping with that information, but then it could be she saw something important, and definitely worse than mommy and daddy Divorced.
So they are wondering if Charlie's vision might involve the unknown man in Olivia's vision. But they vow to not let these visions tear apart their current lives.
Good for them.
And now Anasatasia is questioning the LA Field Office for using it's own money to fund a website. How novel, using their own money, rather than asking the Federal Government to fund it. Hmmm, maybe that's why she's so skeptical about it.
Go Janice, woohoo. Very succinct description of what the Mosaic Collective is all about.
And Demetri doesn't seem to share everyone else's notion that this was a planned event. Could be a clue in there somewhere, for those who doubt him.
Either way, they show her the 'Awake' guy in Detroit and get her attention.
Slide on over to the Hospital, and there is a wall people are putting up with photos and stories looking for people who are missing. Oh dear, so not a happy thought.
So Olivia is taking Charlie with her to work, that should be interesting. Poor Charlie is worried that some of the 'missing' poeple won't be found.
National Guard check point at the entrance to the Hospital, interesting. And before Olivia can get to work, her and Bryce and Charlie take 'Sqirrelio' to intensive care to get his arm put back on.
And just as Charlie takes off to get the milk and cookies, Lloyd Simcoe introduces himself to a very shocked Olivia.
