The third chapter ofLegioncontinues the trajectory that started last week.
The story is more streamlined, the direction slightly less cinematic.
But none of this is necessarily a bad thing.

The action picks right back up where Chapter 2 left off.
Naturally, David wants to go now right now to find her, but theres still work to do.
At least Melanie understands that there is some kind of ticking clock.
She makes the decision to speed up the process.
Namely, they want to see the kitchen explosion.
Theyre expecting guests, and David is, at the moment, stoned out of his mind.
It reminded me of advice my mother always gave me: Find a show that does all three.
I really enjoy watching Dan Stevens and Rachel Keller together.
Their chemistry is undeniable.
Im usually screaming, Dont be evil!
about Syd too loudly to catch every word, but what I hear is pretty damn cute.
We actually learn a bit about Melanies Jheri-curled nemesis over the course of the episode.
Back in the day, Summerland was a horse farm, until Melanies husband, Oliver, inherited it.
The partial teleportation to Walter isnt enough convince Melanie that they need to attack now.
Doing that would just endanger David and possibly everyone living at Summerland.
Instead, theyre going to take a more extreme approach to the Memory Work.
Sedating David during the process will revert him to a simpler state.
She doesnt say it back, but its cool because oh my God, like do not be evil!
Its always a part of the person.
A part of David is still being readThe Worlds Angriest Boy in the World.
You love them through time.
And while that was sweet and all,Legionis moving on to much scarier things than unconditional love.
Syd sticks with baby David, getting separated from Ptonomy and Melanie.
Shes able to get out of the dream and wake up the architect, but Dr. Bird gets stuck.
