'Counterpart' season 2: The Primes and Alphas are completely confused in the first two episodes

Prime and Alpha are both synonymous with the 'main' but in the show they are like two different versions of one. Fans, however, seem to be a little confused with the reluctant swap
PUBLISHED DEC 13, 2018

Fans are confused about the sudden mix of the Alphas and the Primes in the real world of STARZ's Justin Marks-created show, 'Counterpart'. Starring J.K. Simmons as Howard Silk (Alpha and Prime), Olivia Williams as Emily Brunt Silk, Sara Serraiocco as Baldwin and Nadia Fierro, Harry Lloyd as Peter Quayle, and Nazanin Boniadi as Clare, 'Counterpart' follows the attempts of the diplomacy as it tries to maintain peace between our world and the other world that had split from ours almost 30 years ago during the Cold War. While the first season saw a crack developing between the diplomacies of the two worlds, the second season is an attempt to fix things that went wrong in the previous season.

Fans, however, seem to be a little confused with the reluctant swapping between the residents of the Prime and the Alpha worlds. The second season opened with Howards Silk Prime spending his life with Emily Alpha who in spite of losing her memory has been able to figure out that there is something strange about her husband. On the other hand, Howard Silk Alpha encountered Emily Prime for the first time, who immediately realized how different this man was from her husband, with whom she had separated years ago. As for Baldwin, she continued to remain in Berlin, in spite of Howard Prime asking her to flee the city.
