The Passage Season 1 episode 5 review: Amy Bellafonte is special, her newfound superpower makes her a hero

Dr Sykes has a change of heart, just like Brad Wolgast had, and that's because Amy Bellafonte is not only special, she is also a superhero

It wasn't just Lacey Antoine (Kecia Lewis) who got the "stirring" this episode, even we did. 

Dystopia has set in, emotions are soaring and action has scaled to a whole new level. End of the world prophecies loomed heavily in the episode titled 'How You Gonna Outrun the End of the World?' and the answer to the question is still unanswered.

Beginning with a plan to escape the Project Noah facility at the arrival of the villain, Horace Guilder, the government director who switched from the health department to the department of special weapons, Brad Wolgast (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) and Amy Bellafonte (Saniyya Sidney), are aided by Dr. Major Nichole Sykes (Caroline Chikezie), in a not-so-surprising turn of events.

She had always been skeptical about using Amy in the viral experiment, but thinking that it's for the eventual good she agreed on the idea, until Guilder walked in and pitched that the virals aka the vampires, can be used as a special weapon in the military. Baffled by the objective and idea, Sykes turn into Amy's confidant as Wolgast is held hostage by Clark Richards (Vincent Piazza).
