“Bear Down”

The stories from the crash site and the present day go to show us more about these characters.

In the past (I honestly nearly typed ‘The Island’), the kids began training with the gun to try and go hunting. Natalie turns out to be the best shot. She and Travis go hunting and bond on the trip. Other girls discovered a downed plane in the woods. In the present, Natalie goes out with Kevin to try and get info on Travis’s apparent suicide, which she thinks is a murder. Shauna has an affair with Adam and then goes on a weird night together. Taissa does not respond well to a party when she goes off on a rich potential donor who wants to know about what really happened.

There is a flashback to pre-plane crash involving Natalie and her abusive father. We get to see how he died. The show initially made us think that Natalie killed him, but it turned out to be an accident.

Misty is a real bizarre character. She feels dangerous in a Desperate Housewives kind of way.

There is a lot of character development in this episode, and that is very important, but to be honest, this was my least favorite episode so far. It showed us a lot of things about these people, but nothing that was that major, outside of Natalie’s father.
