'Counterpart' season 2: Episode 8 will see a Rilke-Salome affair between Howard and Emily as Clare comes out of the Sleepers' den

As the counterparts finally confront each others' past, they realize that it has all been just a game of truth and lies all along.

STARZ's 'Counterpart' is set to give its audience one of the most intense and emotionally charged episodes, when it returns on February 3. Picking up from the incidents of Episode 7 where we saw Clare (played by Nazanin Boniadi) and Peter (played by Harry Lloyd) escape narrowly from the hands of the Sleeper Agents who work for the terrorist cell, Indigo, Episode 8 will see the characters push themselves off the edge. 

Starring J.K.Simmons as Howard Silk, Olivia Williams as Emily Silk, Harry Lloyd as Peter Quayle, Nazanin Boniadi as Clare, and Christiane Paul as Mira, 'Counterpart' follows the crisis in the two versions of the same world, as one version strives to take over the other. The last seven episodes saw the thin line between the two worlds blurring as each counterpart tried to make amends for their actions. However, Episode 8 is about to take a break from all the turmoil and gradually delve into the inner conflict of the characters. As the episode is set to air on Sunday, here are the three things that you might want to look out for:
