Anyway, it began with Maximus having a nightmare about the royals storming his throne room.

I hope Mike Moh enjoyed his five minutes of screentime at the beginning of the pilot.

Unless Maximus manipulated that to happen?

Guess well find out eventually.

Once he wakes up, Maximus is determined to crush all opposition.

Things are closing in on all sides for Attilans new king.

Freshly reunited (but still missing Crystal), the royals debate how to handle Maximus.

Thank God for Serinda Swan; the personality she shows in this scene is much needed onInhumans.

Thankfully, the latter groups task is made easier by the fact that Crystal is also looking for them.

She hits a roadbump, though, when Daves ex-girlfriend Audrey returns to the farm angry.

Crystal responds by burning the phone out of her hand.

They make for that point, and soon the sisters are reunited.

With a little help from Lockjaw, theyre even able to shake off Audreys suspicions.

Man, I hate Mordis.

What a lame villain.

Be careful what you wish for, you know?

Karnak disarms the second-most powerful Inhuman alive just by talking.

Mordis orders his foe to come out of hiding, but gets a greeting from Gorgon instead.

If you ask me, that seems like a pretty good reason to just kill Mordis then and there!

But, tragically, Karnak declines to do that.

But, as expected, he makes quick work of Bronajas father and the other soldiers.

He refuses to go back to prison, and decides to unleash a hellish blast.

Im glad to be rid of Mordis, but Gorgons death is a bummer.

Gorgon didnt even get a fun romance with a cute human like the rest of his cousins!

Gorgon isnt the only one who dies in this episode, however.

As with everything else he does, this comes from Maximus insecurity about his lack of Inhuman powers.

Do you think Im a stupid human??

I just wish it didnt take Gorgons death to do it.
