When he nonchalantly appears again in this episodes 2015 timeline, we dont have many answers, either.

The spheres sucked into the portal, and Billy narrowly avoids getting sucked in with it.

The bigwigs understand that.

A internet of portals connecting to a hidden realm of monsters?

Your boys already lost a mother.

Do not take away his father, too.

Kentaro, however, did not fall into the hole at the end of the last episode.

He wakes up in the hospital with Tim and Verdugo looking over him.

Bereft, Kentaro doesnt know what to do, and Verdugo tells him that he should live.

Hes super depressed, understandably, and she tries to give him support.

Eventually, Kentaro goes to his dads office shortly before Hiroshi just … strolls in.

Cate is not dead, though.

Granted, shes been separated from her impromptu spelunking companions.

Just when its about to charge her, though, an arrow to the face drives it away.

Cate has been saved by none other than … Keiko!

She hasnt aged a day.

Its an exciting twist, albeit probably at the expense of Lees voyage to the center of the earth.

We just had to rush whatshouldhave been a major deal into one warp-speed episode to get to do so.

Up From the Depths

What was the plan with Operation Hourglass?

The culmination of Monarchs research seems as rushed in its conception as this episodes depiction of it.

The disastrous Operation Hourglass in 1962 is the last time we see Bill Randa.

Hell die in 1973, as seen inKong: Skull Island.

This means hes going from Anders Holm to John Goodman in just 11 years.

No disrespect to John Goodman, who is a treasure, but jeez … thats a rough 11 years.

The status of Hollow Earth as a theory continues not to make any sense.

When we hear about it inKong: Skull Island, its seismologist Houston Brookss fringe theory, not Randas.

Why does Monarch not seem to believe it in 2015?

Also, whats Monarchs status?

Didnt some of Shaws men get sucked into Axis Mundi when they blew up a rift two episodes ago?

He seems not to care, which is interesting because he knows firsthand how much it sucks down there.

I would sayMonarchhas a redshirt problem if I werent so tickled by how gratuitous it is.
