Killjoys - Heart-Shaped Box

"I think I broke him."

Dutch: It's Sabine.
Johnny: Yeah.
Dutch: It's Sabine in a bag.
Johnny: Yes.
Dutch: Johnny, why did you bring me Sabine in a bag?
Johnny: Not a lot of better options. 
Dutch: Oh I think when you're in girl in bag territory you skipped way the hells past better choices. What is going on?
D'avin: She's a Six.

So, yes; to answer that question from last week, Sabine is - present tense - a Six, but D'av's weird anti-Green pushed the Green out of her. Since a big part of the Green's purpose is to nullify the parts of the brain which deal with empathy and morality, this means that she is, temporarily, just a regular girl with lethal skills, as she proves when Turin's in-house torturer tries to shish kebab her head and she decapitates him with her restraints. Turin goes into lockdown and leaves Dutch to take care of Sabine.

While Dutch and D'av clash over Sabine's fate - her Green is regenerating already and Dutch is not convinced by D'av's clear but unspoken plan to maintain a messiah-complex-engendering codependent sex-curing relationship - Johnny goes looking for one of the Wall's engineers, seeking to uncover the Company's plan. She points him in the direction of Jelco's compound, but then betrays him out of fear. Since he's on film breaking and entering without a warrant, Jelco puts Johnny in a box and has his face used as a dance floor. Not pretty.

This is entirely necessary, I'm sure.

D'av and Sabine try to use a sexy hypno-bath and mind link tech to let him see through her Green-memory, leading them through a vision to a mirrored cube on Leith. Then Dutch checks Sabine's room and discovers that she isn't just a Six, she's part of the Black Root; described by Turin as Level Six internal affairs and set to track down Khlyen via Dutch and her crew. She kills another Black Root who tries to kill her, but finds that D'av has already released Sabine, but planted a tracker on her first. This leads Dutch to the self-same mirrored cube where, after killing Sabine before she can become completely Six again, she finds a wealth of items apparently intended for her to find, but probably not until later in her search for the truth, as she doesn't understand a lot of it yet. What she does understand is a red kill box with the name Aneela, whoever that may be.

'Heart-Shaped Box' deepens the rift between Johnny and his crew mates, and in doing so puts him in real danger. Meanwhile it further explores the nature of the Sixes and their internal structure, although the Lady remains mysterious. Perhaps she, Aneela and the duplicate of Dutch (elsewhere dubbed 'Double-Dutch') are one and the same? The episode as a whole is excellent, with some crackling dialogue, especially from Dutch - the Sabine in a bag bit, or Dutch's immediate response to learning of Sabine's release: 'I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the knife in my back.' - and serious feels from Sabine providing depth to Sixes by making the expendable Terminators into unwilling zombies.
