Back again with another Q & A for episode 4 "Blood in the Streets." Thanks to our source for a great glimpse into another episode!

1. Who is Strand talking on the phone to?

The guy's name is Luis Flores, and he's an associate of Strand's business partner, Thomas Abigail. Yes, note the last name. It's pretty obvious the boat belongs to Thomas and not Strand.



2. Any big surprises this week?

Yep! Strand is gay and has a kiss with his lover. Didn't see that one coming!



3. Why is Nick naked and covered in blood?

Nick is sent by Strand to meet Luis so that they can rendezvous with the Abigail. He swims ashore naked & then, covers himself with blood like he did in the last episode as camouflage while he locates Luis.



4. What is Nick carrying when he swims to shore?

He's carrying his clothes so that he can redress once he reaches the shore.



5. Who is in the raft when Chris asks 'Should we shoot them?'

The people on the raft are the "pirates" that Alicia had been talking to who pretend initially to be an innocent family in distress.



6. Why are they being attacked by this new people? What are their reasons?

We don't know everything, but they appear to be "pirates" just like Strand labelled them. Just opportunists who go around taking advantage of the situation and stealing people's stuff.



7. If we get to know Strand’s real intentions, does his actions thus far seem justified?

We get Strand's full backstory in a series of flashbacks, but I can't really say his actions are justified -- at least not yet.



8. In the sneak peek we see a helicopter, what is that about?

We don't really know who's in the helicopter but I would guess the military. When Nick swims to shore, he initially stumbles on what appears to be a former survivor or military camp, thus perhaps the helicopters above.



9. Why is Strand taking the group to Mexico?

His business partner -- and lover (YES, you read that right!) -- has a secluded home in Mexico and believes they will be safe there.



10. Can you tell us something about how the episode ends?

The episode ends with most of the pirates dead, but the remaining ones, Connor (their leader) and Jack, played by actor Daniel Zovatto (the only one who actually decent), manage to kidnap 2 of our characters.

Major cliffhanger. (Seriously?) As you probably can tell, a VERY intense episode, and IMO, the best one this season thus far! Enjoy!
