Underground - New Series about the Underground Railroad on WGN

[Thomas Kearney]

Took a break from binging after two episodes to post a double recap for "Firefly" and "Run And Gun":

August Pullman and his son start to spend more time together while trying to hunt down Noah and Rosalee, who hide in a tool shed their first night on the run. Noah leaves to look for the others. The master begins a manhunt for Rosalee and Noah, and puts the plantation on lockdown until they are capture. Mr. Cato is named the new overseer after the old one died. His first day on the job is a hard one, but when night falls, he and the Macon 7 burn the cotton crop and begin to run. All but Pearly Mae escape because she got her foot stuck between the cracks of a bridge. When the rest meet up with Noah, he brings them to Rosalee's hiding spot, where they spend the night. Pearly Mae is tortured and questioned by the master, who invites her to dinner and kills her by poisoning the tea. Noah and some of the runaways meet with a former railroad worker to plan their stowing away on a train to Atlanta. In the process, Moses is wounded and Zeke is killed by the slave catchers. John and Elizabeth face a huge problem when the runaways they are hiding ask what abolition means and why Seraphina was sold. Eventually they are set free after being held hostage.

I will have a recap for the next two episodes ASAP.
