'The Purge' Season 2 Episode 2 spoilers tease how everything isn't right with the world after the night of crime gets over
The Purge's newly kickstarted season 2's second episode comes with an alarm: "Surviving the night was just the begining." And with our first insights into what the rest of the year in the new America is like, we finally understand what the concept of an annual night of legalized crime, or Purging means, as the episode also establishes through a voiceover: "America is the land of the free so what's more American than the purge?"
Or that's what the promotional teaser for season 2, episode 2 'Everything is Fine' reveals. Everything, is in fact, not fine. It is actually the farthest thing from fine that one can imagine. The night is over, but the consequences and the trauma are fresh and very much alive and expected to continue haunting the main characters for an entire year leading up to the next annual purging.
It begins with Marcus Moore being told that "Whoever is trying to kill you is still out there." So expect more of Marcus digging deeper into the conspiracy that put his and his wife Michelle's life through hell on Purge night. The attack that came out of the blue left the couple haunted, and as Marcus tells his wife, "We almost died last night, everything is different now."
Ryan's crew members, fresh from the almost slip that could have jeopardized all of their lives, tells him, "Every year it gets worse." The trailer reveals the police will catch up to Tommy and arrest him for the split second his foot was inside the bank after the siren at the end of the Purge had gone off, and by the look of things it's going to get quite brutal.
Meanwhile, Esme can be seen hounding what can be expected to be Drew's apartment, as she says "I need to know what happened in that house." Ben, on the other hand, comes clean to his fraternity friend, or probably his girlfriend, about how traumatized the night left him. We saw him watch a woman get murdered before the killer almost raped him, but he was quick enough to attack the killer and end up murdering him with a series of aggressive stab wounds in the guts. At the end of the episode, Ben looks like a changed man with a bloodlust - and as Delmont Mulroney's character can be seen in saying the trailer, "You're nobody in America unless someone wants to purge you." So at least Marcus is winning at life.
'The Purge' season 2, episode 2 airs on Tuesday, October 22, at 9pm, only on USA Network.
