Ep 4. Us Against the World

In Resurrection season 1 episode 4, titled "Us Against the World," tensions between the returned and the living continue to escalate as more and more of the deceased come back to life. The town is in a state of panic, with people locking themselves in their homes and businesses shutting down in fear of the unknown.

Meanwhile, Bellamy struggles to keep the peace and gain the trust of the returned while facing opposition from others in the community who believe the returned are dangerous and should be treated as such.

As Bellamy tries to navigate these difficult waters, he also becomes more involved in the personal lives of the returned. The episode focuses on two main storylines in this regard: the first involves a man named Simon who returns to find that his wife has moved on and started a new family; the second involves a young girl named Rachel who is reunited with her father after being separated from him in life and death.

Simon's storyline serves as a commentary on the fragility of relationships and the difficulty of moving on after loss. His return throws his wife's new life into chaos, and she struggles to reconcile her love for Simon with the fact that she has moved on and built a new life with someone else. Similarly, Simon is forced to confront the reality that he cannot simply pick up where he left off and must find a way to adapt to his new circumstances.

Rachel's storyline, on the other hand, is a heartwarming reunion between father and daughter. After years of being separated, Rachel and her father are overjoyed to be reunited and to have a second chance at a relationship. However, their reunion also highlights the challenges and complexities of death and resurrection. Rachel's father is forced to confront the fact that he missed years of his daughter's life and must find a way to make up for lost time while also adjusting to the fact that she has returned from the dead.

Overall, "Us Against the World" is a tense and emotional episode that continues to explore the many facets of the returned's experience. It delves deeper into the personal lives of the characters while also exploring the larger societal implications of the returned's presence in the town. As the tension between the living and the returned reaches a boiling point, it remains to be seen how Bellamy and the other characters will navigate this brave new world.
