This week's episode of Fox's 'The Passage' was both emotional, daunting, and an all round twister of sorts. A sudden, unexpected death proved to be the game changer for almost every single character, and at the same time, it's as if this death was exactly what the show needed, midway through its debut season to hit viewers with an undeniable impact, and the bitter realization of how far these ambitious fools and monstrous creatures are willing to go, to hold power and control over the planet.

The death in question is Elizabeth Lear's - the same woman who was at the inception of Project NOAH, the one for whom both Jonas Lear (Henry Ian Cusick) and Tim Fanning (Jamie McShane) were willing to risk their all in this risky medical trial. In the initial stages of the show based on Justin Cronin's hit trilogy of the same name, we were introduced to Elizabeth as Lear's wife who was suffering from Alzheimer's.
