With a new prison, a new secret, and some old memories, the two worlds are about to witness their subsequent fate.
PUBLISHED DEC 23, 2018

STARZ's Justin Marks-created show 'Counterpart' has returned with its second season. Already two episodes down, and the third episode set to release on December 23, this time the stakes are much higher than the first season. Starring JK Simmons, Harry Lloyd, Olivia Williams, Sara Serraiocco, and Nazanin Boniadi, 'Counterpart' follows the hapless Interface worker, Howard (played by Simmons), who soon finds out that his other self in the alternate dimension is a spy of high order who has entered into their world to hunt down a murderer. 

The second season has been seeing the two worlds being compromised as the Primes try to fit into the Alpha world by adapting their attributes. The first two episodes saw the Primes walking in the Alpha world trying to extract information from their Alpha-selves' family and friends, who barely have any idea about the swap that took place in the finale episode of season 1. Following the incidents of episode 2, here are the top four things that we can expect from the third episode which will release on December 23:
