At this point, Arjun is assumed to be dead, but we do learn that Chrisjen’s daughter and grandchildren are on their way to Luna. “Tribes” starts out with Chrisjen in her office, crying, which she never does, so you know the situation on Earth must be pretty bad. Amos is determined to get back to the Roci, somehow, and we all know not to stand between Amos and something he wants. Amos has a little monologue about tribes early in the episode, and he declares that Clarissa and he are now a “tribe of two”. It was a stark image in the trailer, and it’s a stark image here.Īmos gets Clarissa’s broken hand into a splint, and Clarissa gets some much-needed rest, and they decide they’re going to Baltimore, which seems like a bad idea considering Erich told Amos that if he ever showed his face there again, he’d kill him, but y’know, Amos does have Clarissa and her implant now. The guy is about to shoot Amos when Clarissa jumps into action, literally, killing the man rather savagely and leaving Amos covered in blood. Not that I’m opposed to fanservice, it’s just that it’s freezing outside where they are. Amos confronts him, and it doesn’t go well, with Amos being forced to strip, for some reason that I’m sure is not at all connected to fanservice. The guy must be some sort of prepper because he already has a fence around his property, and he’s got plenty of supplies and weapons to wait out the end of days. They meet up with a man who has a campfire, where they learn there’s a man who’s barricaded himself in his house. They find a dead man in the woods, who Amos steals a coat from - he’s not using it, Amos rationalizes it while giving it to a deteriorating Clarissa. I doubt the UN infrastructure is intact enough to actually recognize Clarissa as who she really is, but maybe they could. We get mentions of Clarissa’s father, Jules-Pierre (the architect of the Eros massacre way back in season one), who is Schrodinger’s parent, according to Clarissa - she doesn’t know if he’s alive or dead, because he hasn’t spoken to her since she went to prison.Īmos and Clarissa are essentially on the run–Clarissa refuses to go to a UN refugee camp because she knows she’ll either be arrested again or shot, which Amos helpfully points out. The above quote comes from the last conversation between Amos and Clarissa, one of many throughout this episode, as they make their way through the devastated Chesapeake Conservatory Zone.

“Tribes” is full of heart to hearts, and I’m guessing it’s because the writers rightfully assumed we’d need a breather after all the intensity the previous two episodes gave us. Kinda took it on as a prayer…I have killed, but I’m not a killer, because a killer is a monster, and monsters aren’t afraid. “It was a thing from prison, a creative writing class, it was stupid.
