'Counterpart' Season 2: With Shadow's identity revealed and Yanek's secret out, the show has disclosed two major clues

Yanek knows how the two worlds came to exist in the first place but will he be able to keep the secret from his daughter?

'Counterpart' Season 2 is gradually progressing towards a more absurd story-telling and after the fifth episode, every knot that has been loosely tied around the plot seems to become even more complicated. With the revelation of Shadow's real identity, the STARZ Justin Marks-created show has opened up loopholes for the sixth episode, which is set to air on January 6. Starring J.K. Simmons as Howard Silk, Olivia Williams as Emily, Nazanin Boniadi as Clare, Harry Lloyd as Peter Quayle, and Sara Serraiocco as Baldwin, the show has been following the compromising diplomacy of the Alpha and the Prime worlds, as the "Crossing" between them re-opened in the second season.
