Nadine is a little miffed at being given to Harold like a whore.

His powers are weakening in Boulder also though. Harold tops it off with another performance and the case is closed.įlagg tells Nadine that the old witch’s powers are fading, as he can now reach out to her without the toy. That set the stage for Stu to believe Teddy’s arrangement here later in Boulder. Now we understand the strange choice General Starkey made to commit suicide by shooting himself in the chest in Episode 1. Nadine and Harold cover their tracks by staging Teddy’s body to look like a suicide. Nadine contemplates “choice” Nadine Cross (Just a guess based on hints given by those who’ve seen the first six episodes.) Expect lots of things to go boom. I suspect the flashbacks will be back next episode though, when we finally get to meet Trashcan Man.

This allowed us some nice back and forth between the action in New Vegas and Boulder, with the plot in both locations in full swing and moving forward. There were no real flashbacks in this episode, for the first time. My guess would be that they didn’t want to give away in advance that this would be the big intro to New Vegas episode. Welcome, constant reader, as we continue to review the CBS All Access miniseries The Stand with Episode 5, “Fear and Loathing in New Vegas.” You may find some references to the episode title being “Suspicious Minds,” as that was apparently the working title until just recently. The following contains spoilers through Episode 5 of The Stand on CBS All Access, and for the entirety of the original Stephen King novel The Stand.
