Somethings truly brewing onUnderground.
Theyre on the precipice of true war, and this weeks episode finally puts things into that particular perspective.
But to Daniel, thats not what he should worry about: Aint about the risk.

Reading is a curse.
All the words they gave voice to feelings I never told nobody, not even my Bette.
And Im crushing under the weight of the knowledge.
The woman earned the rest.
He and Georgia have quite the friendly debate, but its pretty clear they see things differently.
Action is all that they understand.
Why would he do such a thing?
Your late husband knew it.
He was shot in cold blood because of it.
Now aint that enough reason to take up arms?
Cant get more of a convincing argument, and Elizabeth clearly realizes that.
On the other side of things, we catch back up with Cato and Noah.
He also ended up with a bunch of money, and honestly?
If you win in that kind of situation, you deserve all that money.
And he himself loved Devi.
(You know, as you do.)
He even proposed to her.
(Theres no 1800s equivalent of a massiveScarfaceposter, whatever that might be.)
Boy does Cato have a lot of hired guns.
Hes still upset by the little that Noah has.
(Are we totrulybelieve he cares about Moses or Henrys deaths?)
For some reason, I just cant getHamiltonsSatisfiedout of my head.
Basically Noahs life for theirs.
Only, its obvious (and later confirmed) that Cato is throwing this fight.
But maybe he doesnt need to, as Noah ends up having that knife.
Yes, he brought a knife to a fist fight.
Its a nice moment, of course buttoned by Cato ordering his men to escort Noah off the premises.
Not prison, not another slaver to a man who knows his people and can help him be free.
And it turns out Catodidbuy those seven slaves freedom and had them sent to Canada.
So why the act?
This is his twisted version of a freedom dream.
It needs to be torn down to nothing.
It needs a forest fire.
An earthquake that rips it in half.
This is Catos choice.
