Alphas 'Need To Know': This Is War

Tension is building up as Alphas swings into its final arc of hunting down Parish. There is no more mister nice Rosen anymore, but a man gunning for revenge. The stakes are high as Parish's plan swings into final phrase and its bigger and badder this time. In addition to some great guest stars as well.

The team knows that Parish has got a plan and are scrambling to figure out what the end game is. Rosen eventually figures out that Parish will execute his plan on the day he knew he was an alpha. Which just so happens to be in two days. Nothing says happy anniversary like a plan for world destruction. In order to figure out what Parish was shipping in, Rachel decides they need to find Sylar, but can't seem to reach her. Rosen and Hicks have other plans though as they abduct Scipio under the team's noses.

The whole abduction of Scopio really shows how Rosen is hurting from his daughter's death and is really treating this whole situation against as war. Essentially, Parish and Rosen are waring against each other, so grabbing Scipio was a big move on Rosen's part. So Rosen, Hicks, Rachel and, Nina begin to interrogate Scipio and finding that getting the answers they want is not going to be easy. Things take a darker turn when drugs were brought in along side Nina's "pushing". Back at HQ, Bill realizes that something is up and that the team is missing save Gary and Kat. Bill eventually figures out that the others had grabbed Scipio. Meanwhile Gary figures out where Sylar is.

Both sides on Alphas are gearing up for something big in Need To Know. Rosen really went to the dark side in this episode by using Scipio's humane side to keep him trapped, but then turning around and using it torture him as well. Need To Know was really about the path Rosen was taking and how he did it. Like erasing all of Parish's memories from Mitchell. This poses a question, how will it all end? I also love seeing Summar Glau back and the little terminator reference made in the episode. For those who do not know, Summer stared in the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles where she plays a terminator called Cameron.

Next week the finale of season 2 of Alphas, God's Eye, airs. Watch as Rosen and Parish go head to head with their own goals and ideals. This has got me thinking, will they actually kill off a main character? What will happen to Kat? How will this affect Alphas overall? So many questions, only one finale to answer.
