'Counterpart' season 2: What lies ahead for Howard Silk Alpha and Emily Prime? Here's what we know

Howard Alpha is about to discover some unsettling truths about his wife but will that put his loyalty to test?
PUBLISHED DEC 12, 2018

Howard Silk Alpha went missing in the first episode of the Justin Marks-created show, 'Counterpart' Season 2, while Emily Alpha struggled to recollect her memory from the time before the accident that her left her in a coma. The first episode chiefly focused on Howard's Prime-self trying to win over Emily Alpha who is constantly in an internal conflict about the doubtful nature of the man who is posing to be her husband. It closed on a note where Howard Prime suggested that they start over their marriage, and with the second episode Howard Alpha, who has no idea that his other is actually wooing his wife, will come across some information that will shake his ground. 

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, the STARZ sci-fi show has been following the diplomacy's attempts to maintain peace between our world and its identical twin in the daughter universe which opened its way through the "Crossing" during the Cold War period. The "Crossing" was shut by the management of our world, as it blamed the other world for letting out criminals who are associated with the deadly terrorist cell, Indigo.
