The sensates are back, and they’re on the hunt for Whispers.
The episode kicks off with Will having flashes where he sees Whispers running some sort of early experiment.
Before we get to that stirring scene though, we need to catch up with each character.

Litos brief story line here may just be the episodes emotional highlight.
There are two very different interactions here.
Its in that moment that a beautiful thing happens.
Homosexual or heterosexual or any other term cant encompass ones dreams, goals, desires, and flaws.
Theres too much individual human experience there.
But in no way does that dull the genuine emotional impact.
If theres one disappointing thing about the season premiere ofSense8, its that its not particularly action packed.
With no real action, the episode has plenty of time for more meditative moments.
Their intimate conversation sees Capheus taking the optimistic view of humanity versus Zakias more cynical view.
Riley also shares a sweet moment with her father in Amsterdam.
Thats when we get yet another reveal: In turn, Riley and Will have been tricking Whispers.
I love watching Riley and her father interact, as they share a special bond thats supportive and loving.
If theres a more structured plot here, its the search for Whispers.
In fact, the sensates search for a Dr. Matheson leads them directly to Sarah.
Dr. Matheson apparently tutored Sarah, as she was a gifted student.
When Nomi and Amanita show the mother pictures though, it becomes clear something is very wrong.
The man she identifies as Dr. Matheson?
That leads to the climactic, oh-so-satisfying final scene.
Whsipers is taken aback.
He cant believe they actually managed to track him down.
He tries to hurry out of the office, but Will stops him.
He gets right in his face and lays it all out: Were coming for you.
Thehunt is on in season 2, and the stakes are already high.
