Mike has gone back off the deep end, the Three Musketeers may have just all lost their law enforcement credibility and we may have to get ready for Lily vs. Joe. Here are my questions from "Fly Away":
No. 1 - Will Lily and Ryan team up?
Lily and Ryan both really hate Joe Carroll. Lily hates him because he abandoned her after she literally devoted part of her life to him - and he up and left her to fend for herself against the FBI. Also, Joe didn't really seem to care that her son Luke had died. (However, Lily does not know Luke isn't dead. Also, in fairness to Joe, Lily did drug him.) Ryan hates him because - well, all of Season 1. Is it possible that Lily and Ryan could team up to take down the person they really hate? Of course, that may be a problem since Ryan and Mike killed three of her kids.
No. 2 - What will Team Vigilante do now?
If Agent Mendez's threats were true, Max and Mike will no longer have jobs in law-enforcement. If Ryan, Max and Mike no longer have the resources to track Joe's (or Lily's) movements, how will they go after the two serial killers? Will they still have connections in the FBI and/or NYPD? Or will they have to find another way to find Joe?
No. 3 - How will Mike's unstableness become a problem?
Mike went off the rails this episode. He hit Luke with some plywood one more time than necessary, threw a crazy hook to Luke's face after Luke made some terrible comments about Max, and finally punched Luke in the face repeatedly until he was covered in Luke's blood. It seems as if Mike still has some unresolved feelings left over from last season. How will Mike's behavior pose problems for Max and Ryan?
No. 4 - If Luke is still alive, how much of threat is he?
Luke was near death as he was rushed to the hospital. He may be nuts, but he is also very clever. If he makes it, will he escape the hospital before he's tried for murder? What havoc could he have planned?
"The Following" airs Mondays at 9/8c on FOX.
