'Baptiste' Season 1 Episode 5 Recap: "Lucy"

Baptiste's penultimate episode begins with the captive girls. (Remember them?) During a trip to the bathroom, Cristina grabs a shard of glass out of the bathroom window. It's the beginnings of an audacious plan to escape, but it all comes to naught. She stabs her captor, but the compound where they are held is locked, and the other girl who she makes a break for it with panics and reveals where they are before they can get out. Consider them a metaphor for everyone in this situation. Escape is an illusion.

Baptiste: I spent my career looking for the missing. I find a handful, and it's called "a great career." And then there is this ocean of the forgotten...

Edward's escape cannot be long-lived either, though the way Genevieve is freaking out at Baptiste, you'd think he had left for the moon. Baptiste isn't having it. Stratton's going off the rails every time Genevieve put him in a room with Constantin was proof he wasn't to be trusted from the start. It is as much her fault as anyone else's for relying on Stratton. With that, he storms out to check on his family when his car is found. (Stratton left a note that says, "Sorry." How considerate.) Genevieve then rounds on Martha, calling her a drunk in front of her entire staff.
