Lito conquers gay Hollywood, and Capheus makes an explosive political debut.
On most shows, romantic story lines require conflict to stay interesting.
For all its silliness and camp,Sense8is that rare show that affirms solid, healthy relationships.

And with Will and Riley and Kala and Wolfgang, the growing bonds feel exciting, rather than threatening.
If All the Worlds a Stage may be the least BPO-heavy episode of the season.
I never understood the word presence until we were together, Riley says.
And then, Tuppence Middleton gives in to a luminous smile so well deserved for her character.
Kala cant wait anymore.
She and Wolfgang finally confront their feelings in his grim key shop and on her divine roof.
With a setting magic-hour sun behind them, they rub fingers, lock eyes, and kiss.
She even sneaks a few barbs his way, criticizing his tendency to solve problems by shooting people.
Kala tells Wolfgang that if she lost him, her life would have no meaning.
Hes tired of waiting and tells her that they have to meet.
But she wont have him in India, and Berlin is no longer safe.
So theyll run away together but only after she tells Rajan.
I really hope that telling him doesnt involve opening Ajays extremely ominous present.
And, of course, hes played by Andy Dick.
I would kill to know what that phone call was like between Dick and Lana Wachowski.
In typicalSense8timing, Sun shows up in the middle of the audition, desperately in need of help.
This is her one chance to take him down, and she cant be exposed until the right moment.
How much can I love this man?
But by the time he sits down to resume his audition, hes lost it.
Luckily, Sun returns the favor and calls on her present truth to give him the line he needs.
I have always been alone, she says, even as a child.
I am afraid I will always be alone because I dont know how else to be.
By the time its over, he looks like a gay porn Newsie.
Lito visits a smartly dressed Capheus, all suited up for his first big speech as a political candidate.
Youre looking very good, Lito adoringly grins at him.
Theyre both feeling out of place in their new looks this isnt really them.
The orgy scene in Demons opened the door for the cluster to fully lose themselves in one another.
Just because everyone is more or less coupled off doesnt mean that they cant share love.
Arent those sorts of boundaries for the sapiens?
But the angelic Hernando reads him perfectly.
Theres nothing more frightening than having a dream come true.
It should be celebrated.
Meanwhile, Capheus shows up at his rally, which is packed with hundreds of supporters.
As he heads to the podium, Capheus finds himself at a loss.
But the darling Jela shows up to rescue his friend.
Just drive the bus.
And with that, Capheus is off.
And hes got his cluster by his side, all proud of how far hes come.
He talks about how he and Jela are both of mixed heritage.
These are facts that he and I have never talked about because for us they have never mattered.
Things couldnt be going better for Van Damme.
That is, until the rally explodes into a riot.
Suddenly, hes being escorted away alone by security.
And for some reason, hes only got a groggy, drugged-up, depressed Will to help him through.
But the chaos is too much for Will, and hes barely able to yell, Its a trap!
to Capheus before the security whips out a knife.
Its a wake-up call for Will.
But Will wont be down any longer.
It wont happen again, he says.
But apparently tough love works for empaths as well.
This thing isnt going to end well.
Our grizzled ex-cop gets up and takes a hard look in the mirror, where he finds Sun.
Will shaves, looks like his boyishly hot self again, and greets Riley warmly when she returns.
I missed my cop, she says.
Welcome back, Will!
As for Sun, shes about to cross the line, and shes waiting for Will to stop her.
But theyll do their best to try for the former.
One way or the other, Wolfgang says, we end it.
The family wrap their hands over Suns fist and pledge to stay by her side.
