'The Passage' season 1 episode 5: With Winston on the loose Amy might need some new plans

An unrepentant serial killer against a 10-year-old girl? Amy might have telepathic powers but is it enough to ward off the evil that is the bloodsucker Winston?

This article contains spoilers for season 1 episode 5

So far, Fox's 'The Passage' has done an incredible job at bringing Justin Cronin's bestselling novel of the same name to the screen and in an era of mindboggling plots, the show stands apart in terms of both multiple genres coming together and also simplistic storytelling not convoluting the plot. But in this latest and fifth episode titled 'How You Gonna Outrun The Rest of The World?' the show takes unexpected twists and turns and quite unlike its usual nature, and one of those twists we didn't see coming was Winston's escape.

Played by Brett Gentile, Winston is your regular dumb redneck among The Twelve test subjects of Project Noah, who have been turned into superhuman monsters with bloodthirst and murderous instincts in an attempt to obtain a cure for all of humanity's ailments. These subjects were mostly orphans and death row inmates deemed disposable by the trial runners and Winston - even before he was accidentally turned into a vampire of sorts - was in prison for raping and murdering a woman. But all of Winston's heinous nature aside, the fact that he plays the puppet master in the recent episode is the twist that has left fans the most shocked and at ease.
