David and the gang stage an escape from the hospital.
(And everyone who has been screaming for weeks about the Shadow King, good for you.
Youre so much smarter than everyone else.)

Lenny/The Devil has Amy, and she/he is asking some very important questions.
Also, the Devil with the Yellow Eyes is Amahl Farouk, also known as the Shadow King.
The hints were there all along.
Farouk has been with David for a very, very long time.
The conflict he reasons out, in which his bald father (who could that be?)
dukes it out with Farouk in the astral plane.
How hell be incorporated into the show moving forward remains to be seen.
For all ofLegions retro style, it does take place in a modern setting.
Cary tells Syd everything he knows about the situation, all of which shes already figured out.
Heres where I need to call out Aubrey Plaza.
She has been so deliciously maniacal that I hate to imagine a future for the show without her.
Its a testament not only to her range, but surprising casting.
Walter gets crumpled into a ball, which results in blood raining down the forehead of the real-world Walter.
(One of the more horrifyingly great images from TV this year.)
The momentary distraction allows Cary to slip his gadget onto Davids head and trap Farouk inside the mental coffin.
Everything seems to be relatively peachy except for Rudy, but that dude was always going to die.
Oliver is back and still looks like Jemaine Clement, but he doesnt remember Melanie.
Kerry is pissed at Cary for leaving her.
Oh, and the Interrogator from Division Three is back, this time with burn scars.
As implausible as that may be, Im thrilled to see Hamish Linklater back in action.
But that cliffhanger doesnt seem like much of a threat.
Im a little more concerned about Farouk breaking through the coffin.
That seems like trouble to me.
