If the serpent really wanted to kill him, he should have been dead. Like, Campion really outran an enormous flying serpent for…what, hours? Minutes? It’s not clear how long Campion was running, but it’s long enough that it requires a serious suspension of disbelief. Like the lack of conversation around the veil, there’s just something that feels way too contrived about this. Nonetheless, the transplant goes through and Mother flies off to fight Number Seven, who is chasing Campion (Winta McGrath) through the forests and fields of Kepler-22b. No one is anywhere near skeptical enough, except for maybe Marcus (Travis Fimmel). What is it about the veil that confuses Mother’s protocols only for Number Seven? Why wouldn’t it affect her other children? Grandmother obviously had some hidden agenda here, and while I can appreciate the fact that the episode ran with that idea, I wish it didn’t happen because these very intelligent androids forgot to ask some very simple questions. I was a little frustrated that there wasn’t more actual debate about this. After hatching a plan last episode to transplant Grandmother’s veil to Mother to confuse her caregiving protocols enough so that she can kill her serpent child, Mother finally has the means to end the scaly threat. The episode largely revolves around Mother’s (Amanda Collin) final showdown with snake-baby, and the fallout that follows. The episode doesn’t quite fall flat, but it’s pretty underwhelming. In many ways, it almost feels like last week’s episode, “Feeding,” was the biggest moment of the season, and the finale was just a scramble to tie off…well, not any loose ends, but at least one major plotline.

Unfortunately, “Happiness” only made that fear worse. On a show like this, which is reminiscent of Lost in that it is just constantly introducing new mysteries, my biggest fear is always that it won’t be able to tie them all together in a satisfying way.
