Spoiler alert for 'The Passage' episode 2: 'You Owe Me a Unicorn'

FOX's 'The Passage', based on Justin Cronin's bestselling trilogy of the same name has done a brilliant job at bringing together some of the most sensational genres of our times, namely sci-fi, supernatural, and dystopia. Yet what has helped the show maintain a steady balance and now allow the plot to get overly sensationalized, is its slow paced and simplistic storytelling. At the same time, 'The Passage' has also introduced latent themes in individual episodes that emerge to be the crux sailing the particular episode though, and for the second one, they went along with the theme of guilt. 

But first, here's a little explanation on the plot. The official synopsis reads "'The Passage' is an epic, character‐driven thriller about a secret government medical facility experimenting with a dangerous virus that could either cure all disease or cause the downfall of the human race.
