When the cluster finally meet other sensates, they get a lot more information than they bargained for.
Remember that sensate visitor Riley and Will had in theprevious episodeduring their triumphant DJ set?
He was an older man, and he seemed completely shocked by what was happening.

My assumption was that he was experiencing this for the first time, but clearly I waswayoff base.
He refuses to give them his name, identifying himself as The Old Man of Hoy.
First things first: Three of the sensates are on the move.
Theres Sun, leaving the home of her teacher with a promise to come back one day.
Then theres Nomi and Amanita, finally returning to their own apartment after the previous episodes e-death.
These little pieces of freedom are what keep them going in the face of such danger.
You know what else keeps them going?
And really, who can blame them?
Whats great aboutSense8is that it has no shame about nudity and sexuality.
Every scene, while perhaps over-indulgent visually and with its music cues, is a celebration of intimacy.
Well, not an actual kiss, mind you, but such is the sensate life.
There seems to be some regret on Kalas face, but Zakia and Capheus have no such reservations.
Shes convinced hed be a great leader, and I think wed all agree that shes not wrong.
If the goal of the DJ set was to draw out more sensates, its working.
Not only is Mr. Hoy around, but Puck is getting all creepy with Riley.
The world is not a safe place for them.
Suddenly Im crying again.
He wakes up in a home with Riley and kids.
Its all very vague but also very ominous.
Something is about to happen.
Something bad, says Will.
First, theres Wolfgang helping Lila out with a hit to earn her trust.
After shes invited in, Mr. Hoy gives her an abbreviated history of BPO.
He says that in 1952, a number of government organizations held a very covert conference to debate reality.
He also says that Ruth would be disgusted by what BPO has become.
Mr. Hoy is terrified of Whispers, but he agrees to help Riley.
He uses sensorium Google to put out a psychic BOLO on him and quickly tracks him down.
The details are hazy, but Riley says she has to go to Chicago alone.
Chicago seems to be central to all of this, but how exactly?
Didnt she love Jonas?
Why was she so quick to take Whispers side?
Were five episodes in and plenty has happened, but it feels like season 2 ofSense8is just getting started.
