Continuum - 'Minute to Win It' and 'Minute Changes'

Cool. It's a thing.
Liber8 set out to enact radical change by mind-controlling corporate executives to raid their own safe deposits and reveal their companies' malfeasance. This course of action troubles Travis, who seems to be becoming the voice of positive spin for the organisation, or perhaps is just freaked out by Lucas puppeteering living humans. Kiera and Carlos stop a robbery and find a strange piece of tech, which appears to be a pan handle, but is apparently more advanced than even the Freelancers have seen before.

Meanwhile, Green Alec inherits Piron and learns that Emily was working for Escher, as well as finding out that Escher was his father. Red Alec continues to put the moves on Emily, who is confused when the two Alecs blow in such different directions. Alec discovers that her past is more than a little chequered.
Hearts and minds, but not spelling.

In 'Minute Changes' Green Alec steps up as CEO of Piron, with a little advice from Kellogg, while Red Alec lets Emily in on his secret. Kiera and Carlos investigate pro-Liber8 rallies on a university campus, which turn ugly when a security cop loses his gun and a cop opens fire into a cloud of smoke at a rally, killing a student.

Theseus is back on the scene, engaging in some sort of psychological cat and mouse with Carlos, who is a cop on the edge. This week he uncovers Betsy as the mole and voices his confusion to dead Kiera. Kiera herself is increasingly skeptical of the value of 'the system' as something worth protecting in and of itself. Even in her future flashbacks she seems softer, and I wonder if this isn't a sign of the future timeline shifting, the Kiera who will be changing as her world becomes more and more obviously a crapsack.
