Cloak & Dagger Lotus Eaters (2018– ) watch online HD

I had been fairly non plussed by this series since the start, it has struggled to really find its footing and get going, I only really stuck with it this far because I was late finding it and had a block of 5 episodes to binge. This episode has renewed my faith in the show and is everything I hoped Cloak and Dagger could be when I first heard about it. The two lead actors ooze chemistry and the episodes emotional heart really made me feel for the characters. If the series continues at this level I would recommend everyone to watch it, the show is well worth sticking with for this episode alone, at the risk of gushing, Lotus Eaters is pure art and it is beautiful.

In this episode, Tandy and Tyrone have to work together to free the survivor of the Roxxon Rig Explosion from his own mind. After 8 years, they see that the man, Ivan Hess, is repeatedly living the events leading up to the explosion: Grabbing a cookie made by his daughter, Mina Hess, taking a phone call from an angry man, and watching as the red distress signal blasts through the rig. In a matter of minutes, the first explosion goes off and then comes the explosion that kills the crew blows everything up. It all repeats again.

Once Tandy and Tyrone enter his mind, they do everything that they can do in order to piece together everything that went down right before the explosion, but Tandy soon realizes that the angry man on the phone is her father, Nathan Bowen. She also realizes that Ivan was the last person he talked to in the car the night of the explosion. She is overwhelmed with emotions and forgets the mission that she came here to accomplish. She then refuses to aid Tyrone in their quest to stop the explosion but instead tricks Tyrone into exiting Ivan's subconscious and leaving her their to talk to her father.

Once Tyrone realizes that he has been tricked, he jumps back into Ivan's mind in order to convince Tandy to help him. Once inside, he finds Tandy alone and seemingly bored, waiting for her father to call. Tyrone asks her how long has she been their, but she suddenly conjures a dagger from her hand and kills one of the monsters/crew workers attacking them. Tyrone, confused by Tandy's actions, asks again and she answers that she has stopped taking count after about 200 repeats of the explosion. This means that Tandy has been trapped reliving this experience just like Ivan has been. Tyrone also realizes that the only thing tethering Tandy to this world is the phone call that she receives from her father. In order to break Tandy from this, Tyrone interrupts the phone call and pleads for her to stop. The explosion occurs and they are back to where they started, with Tandy waiting for the call. Tyrone threatens to hang up the phone every time her father calls until she snaps out of it, but Tandy, fed up, conjures a dagger and threatens Tyrone as well. She throws a dagger but Tyrone cloaks away. He tries to reason with her but she keeps throwing daggers until finally he gives up and makes a proposition. He will leave her there to keep talking to her father as long as she answers the phone and asks him one question only her father would know. She reluctantly agrees.

The phone rings as the distress signal is still blaring and Tandy picks up. She asks her dad the question: who is in the backseat of the car with him. If it really is her father, she knows that he would answer Tandy, but instead he answers that no one is in the backseat. Realizing that Tyrone is right, she hangs up and the explosion occurs once again.

Tyrone and Tandy decide to snap Ivan out too, by reminding him that the cookie he always picks up at the start of each repeating event was made by his daughter, Mina. He denies this at first but Tandy convinced him by saying that Mina put a secret ingredient in the cookie for him to find out. He remembers. He recounts that morning and how she made it for him. Once they convince him that Mina is waiting in the real world, they go down to the core of the rig to stop the explosion. They realize that only Ivan is the one who can shut off the valves and stop the explosion because it is his mind. Tandy and Tyrone fight the attacking rig workers in order to buy time for Ivan to shut off the valves. They hear the giant explosion coming just as Ivan turns off the last valve and suddenly...

Tandy and Tyrone appear in Ivan's hospital room, right where they started and Ivan has finally woken up from his catatonic state, although he doesn't remember Tandy nor Tyrone. They inform Mina that her father has finally woken up and she runs to give him a big hug as Tandy and Tyrone look on from the door. Tyrone knows the loss that Tandy feels because of what happened to her father and the same thing that happened to his brother. In the night, Tyrone calls her and plays her a tape of young Tyrone and Billy, Tyrone's deceased brother. They find solace in each other as the episode ends.

I particularly liked this episode because it demonstrates the bond that has developed between Tandy and Tyrone and I also think it was very well written. This is a smash hit and I believe that Cloak and Dagger are here to stay!

The way they break the loop is kinda lame. But the music is good as always, and that freestyle from Billy, man, just killed it. SLAY. Fells so good.

Not sure what they were thinking. The cameraman was shaking throughout this episode. So much so that my husband had motion sickness and I developed a headache from watching it.

This episode contains lots of flashes and shaky camera.
