Spoiler alert for 'The Passage' episode 3: 'That Should Have Never Happened To You'

FOX's 'The Passage' does this remarkable job of bringing together three of the most bestselling genres — science fiction, supernatural, and dystopia — but then strikes the perfect balance to avoid an overly sensationalized fic through its simplistic storytelling and paced-out action. One such brilliant signature style of the show has been showcasing the characters' backstories, while also sprinkling in current time action here and there, thus keeping a very simple story intriguing. And for this week's episode three titled 'That Should Have Never Happened To You', we see the story of 'viral' vampire Shauna Babcock unfold in what can easily be dubbed as one of the saddest pasts we have seen on screen.
