This is another good episode that gives us more hints about Carpathia and what the devious Julius Berger is really up to. The episode opens in Forthaven's bar; a strange man enters and asks for a drink then instead of handing over a card he drops a handful of diamonds in payment! Not surprisingly this creates a bit of a stir and he ends up in a fight with the Expeditionaries. Cass and Fleur are called and end up chasing him out of town, when they catch up with him they are lost but he offers to take them to the sea claiming that there are bodies there and that they will find paradise
they aren't keen to follow but have little choice. Stella, Jack and a tracker follow when they realise they are missing and that the strange man is Pak, part of the original group to land on Carpathia many years before. Meanwhile back in Forthaven people are obsessed with finding diamonds of their own which leads to an unusual agreement between Julius and Tate although it seems likely that the former is just using the situation to further his own agenda.
This episode had some gripping moments and gave the makers an excuse to show off some beautiful South African scenery as Fleur, Cass and Pak trek to the sea. Once again things are hinted at rather than explicitly explained; it is said the Pat murdered the leader of his group but we never learn if he did or if something else happened; we also don't know if the animals he sees are imaginary or part of some strange phenomena on Carpathia. One strange thing was the population's excitement about the discovery of diamonds; there was no obvious use for them so they would have little real value there.
