Night 1 of the Cordon

Katie is trapped inside the Cordon with her son, Quentin where she meets Jake Riley. Katie chaperones a school bus full of young students as they visit the Atlanta Midtown Hospital. Carver boards the bus and informs them they must return to the hospital immediately.

Jake offers to help Katie find Quentin. After locating Quentin and sending him back to the other students, Katie introduces herself to Jake and explains that she shares custody of Quentin with Quentin’s grandparents. Night 1 of the outbreak, Katie watches upon her students with Jake.

She watches Thomas in his isolation room, and Cannerts tries to reassure her by telling there was no exposure to the fluids but Katie doesn’t find him convincing. Later she goes to check on Thomas and realizes he has left the room; she runs across Thomas and his father, who say they are going home. When Cannerts appears, Katie asks him to call 911 or Jake but he says he already tried.

Cannerts gets back to her saying he hasn’t found the medication; they get interrupted by Jake and she lies, saying that the medication they were looking for was for Britney’s allergy. Jake tries to help her. Later she and Jake try on accessories, and she explains him for the pills: she had a hard time with her highs and lows, and when she was with Quentin’s dad they did drugs; she went clean and not him, and she explains the meds keep her in check.

She explains the difference between a vaccine and a treatment to Quentin, Mary and Britney when Quentin says he heard Nurse Helen say that Cannerts worked in Dr Sanders’ office and that Dr Sanders liked to have a quickie with her boyfriend before rounds in the morning. She then confronts Cannerts, asking if Sanders was already sick in the morning when she was supposed to give her class a tour; she also asks how she and her boyfriend, whom she saw on the morgue, could die before Sayid; and why Bert was already there for an emergency. Jake and Victor stay and watch her.

Who Played Quentin In The Original Series Of Containment?

Containment type TV Show network The CW Spoiler alert: This post contains details from the July 5 episode of Containment. For 11 episodes, Jake and Katie’s love story blossomed on The CW’s Containment … until a heroic act found Katie in a deadly situation. KRISTEN GUTOSKIE: When I got the pilot they told me that in the original series Katie passed away, and then they said they were deciding whether or not they were going to do it.

It wasn’t enjoyable having it all over my neck and face for hours on end. But in terms of the last scene, I just kind of did my own thing with it. I was choking and I was like, “Okay, this is going to be really authentic.”

It was definitely really hard to do the scene with Quentin because Zachary Unger, who plays Quentin, it was so heartbreakingly truthful. It was really hard for me not to cry in that scene, and I tried so hard not to because I felt it was important to keep it together for him. I just kind of spasmed a little.[Laughs.

I think that’s the point of scenes like that: It makes you feel really emotional, but at the same time then you might want to go hug a loved one. I think that was probably the moment where, as she’s passing, the pain’s gone away and she can go to a happy place. Yeah, had it had a few more seconds I’m sure Quentin would, well, maybe not jumped in — that would’ve been inappropriate, that would’ve been weird.

[Laughs. Love scenes are often very awkward, shower curtain or not. I’m so sorry Chris, let’s try that again.”

Katie was always a girl who didn’t have the dreams come true. Quentin was a dream come true for her. Any child is going to be a gift to your life, but in terms of the little girl’s dreams of maybe making music and falling in love — I don’t think she ever really got that.

Who Is The Best Character In Containment?

Containment S 1 E 12 type TV Show network The CW Every drama’s best character is the Grim Reaper. The best character is the Grim Reaper. The tattered ghoul with bony fingers and old-timey gardening equipment might bum us out always and forever, but look at all the storytelling possibilities and pathos that death brings to a story!

And now, I hate to tell you this: Containment is wonderful and that’s the truth. The reason I hate to tell you this is because Containment is likely finished after next week’s finale. And the true tragedy is that, after last week’s episode and especially this week’s “Yes is the Only Living Thing,” Containment is finally a must-watch.

(Congratulations, Kristen Gutoskie!) But yes, despite any optimistic question marks after Katie’s death last week, this week’s episode confirmed the worst: She’s dead. Which meant that, yes, this week Jake had to clean up Katie’s corpse and push her into a furnace.

The scene was dark, even for The CW, and it opened an episode that never stopped being compelling. Rather than wallow, Jake set out to accomplish something: Get drunk. It was on this mission to find booze that he encountered Jana, who informed him she was about to bounce, which reminded him he’d promised to help get Quentin out of the cordon somehow.

There very well could be a bloodbath in next week’s finale! Like, sorry, all this conspiracy stuff might be interesting in the aftermath, but perhaps let’s get that cordon situation taken care of? But back to the escape plan: Now that our characters have an actual goal besides, like, waiting, Containment itself had purpose.

Tuesdays on The CW.

How Did Katie Die In Containment?

In containment does katie die? News media outlets cover Dr. Lommers’ scandal, reporting they expect there will be hearings. The two young teenagers get engaged.

Does Jana get out of the cordon? Do they find a cure in Containment? For those wondering: No cure was found, nobody escaped the cordon, and the government still doesn’t have a plan to evacuate non-infected persons.

What Is The Name Of The Episode Of Containment On Cw?

Airtime: Tuesdays at 9PM on CW Episode: Season 1, Episode 4 (S01E04) Tweetable Takeaway: Lex hides the truth, while loved ones and friends try to outsmart the internet blackout on #Containment Tweet Supporting characters take precedence in this week’s episode of CONTAINMENT, while the leads focus on relationship troubles and moral dilemmas. The question becomes not “will they cure the virus?” but “will Katie and Jake get together?” and “will Lex and Jana get together?” and “will Xander, Teresa and the baby get together?” You got us, CW.

While this was certainly set up earlier, it would arguably be more interesting if Jana wasn’t so good at her job and actually struggled to build the phone. Leo Green visits the station to ask Lex for help; his friends inside the cordon are sick. He calls out Lex for being more loyal to Sabine Lommers and the CDC, than to Jana.

Carnahan studies the virus, which he describes as “perfect.” Jake offers to take a trip to the pharmacy across the street for Katie’s medication and pick up some items for Carnahan at the same time. Later, Jake reassures Katie that he doesn’t know what her medicine is for, but it’s obvious that he wants to know.

“You are going to be on the wrong side of history,” Green warns. Back at the store, bandits arrive just in time to interrupt another tedious argument between Teresa and her mother. But “saved” is a matter of opinion, as Trey swiftly imposes his own rules.

Green pops up like a weed, revealing that he helped Xander escape from the hospital. In this episode, Lommers and Green are undeniably foils for Lex, extensions of his conscience. By the end, Xander gets into the cordon and sends Green a video of his blogger friends, who sadly have been dead for several days.

This another moment when we realize that curing the virus, resolving the inciting incident, is not the goal here. —————————————————————————— Heather makes things for TV by day and writes by night (also sometimes by day).

What Is Climbing Inside The Cordon?

The body count is climbing inside the cordon, as people attempt to stay safe, sane and calm in the face of a deadly virus without phone lines, the internet, or radio communications. Following Leo Greene’s (Trevor St. John) article, which exposed the location of a fire escape, a possible way out of the cordon, Dr. Lommers (Claudia Black) and her associates thought it best to send the entire zone into the dark ages to avoid spreading panic (and information). This week, Theresa (Hanna Mangan Lawrence) and her mother are held at gunpoint in their store.

Xander does eventually make his way in and sends a message to Leo Greene, thanking him for his help, and revealing to Greene that his friends (who may or may not be a couple? It’s pretty ambiguous) are dead. Jana and the others from BitScan are still holding out in their top-floor office suite and Jana attempts to modify her phone to call outside the cordon with some spare components and an antenna from the top of the building.

He also gets sort of assaulted by a drug addict in a pharmacy truck, gets a lesson in antiviral development from Dr. Cannerts (George Young), and is still burning bodies in all of his spare time. There’s still a lot that we don’t know, and although Lex hints at it briefly, it feels like we’re skipping over big parts of the narrative to focus on characters who are still sluggish and underdeveloped. It’s weird that Katie and Jake are suddenly playing house in the hospital, with Katie doing Jake’s laundry in a bathroom sink and Jake hanging out with Quentin and fetching Katie’s prescription from a nearby pharmacy on a supply run.

It’s a nice sentiment, but ultimately falls a bit flat. The show is trying to set Jake up as a hero and is using Katie to do it; it feels weird and disingenuous. Katie doesn’t have a real storyline outside of Jake and that feels wrong — she shouldn’t be there just to further his character, but that’s what it feels like more and more.

These characters are hard to care about, the plot feels strung together, and the big questions we have about the issues and implications facing this cordon are going largely unanswered. For now, Containment remains a great concept that’s underexecuted and underexplored – and it’s a shame, really. The show has opportunities for great character work and compelling plots involving these characters, but those chances are being squandered and it’s a pity.

Who Plays Lex In Containment’S Second Episode?

Containment’s second episode finds tensions building inside the cordon while those on the outside track down a patient that threatens the entire city. It isn’t a significant improvement over the lackluster first episode, but it uncovers a couple of unlikely heroes. Lex (David Gyasi) contends with a blogger who turns him into a hero and then a bleak illustration of a government puppet.

Jake (Chris Wood) discovers that a girl that’s presently unaccounted for had contact with a family member of Patient Zero. He and everyone at the makeshift HQ outside the gates work to pinpoint her location and find her at a party with a bunch of other teens, some of whom are now also infected. Bob Mahoney / The CW Network Teresa (Hanna Mangan Lawrence) fears she’s been infected when she sees her friend (who she’d had contact with the night before) listed among the newly infected teens on the news.

She’s establishing herself as one of the most pragmatic people inside the cordon, despite being a very pregnant teenager. Katie Frank (Kristen Gutoskie) continues trying to keep her class together and calm whilst they ride out the hospital lockdown. She’s the picture of patience and level-headedness, at least around others.

The same cannot be said for Jake, who’s handling the whole thing like a total brat. He’s throwing things around, ignoring calls and pouting a lot.

What Episode Of Nothing Gold Can Stay Starts The Waterworks?

This week, Katie dies. Gosh, I really had hope that Cannerts had some sort of formula to slow it down. I really hoped that Katie would live.

She gets to say her goodbyes, and she hopes only for the best — for both Quentin and Jake. But the last scene of the episode, the one with Jake, is what really starts the waterworks. Throughout “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” we see Jake stay strong, and even offer words of hope to Katie and advice to Quentin.

Katie: “I love you” And he breaks. The whole “they’ll be together in heaven” thing. Or, Jake will keep his promise to Katie and take care of Quentin, and want some sort of justice done to whoever really created the virus.

That’s what this week’s episode does. It will be interesting to see how Jake reacts to Katie’s death in next week’s episode, and if Lex and Leo are really on to something.
