\n\tSPOILER ALERT<\/strong>: This story contains spoilers for Season 2, Episode 7 of \u201cGen V<\/a>,\u201d now streaming on Amazon\u2019s Prime Video.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt turns out Marie (Jaz Sinclair) had a very good reason for originally thinking Dean Cipher (Hamish Linklater) had no powers: He doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\n\tToward the end of this week\u2019s episode of \u201cGen V,\u201d Marie, her sister Annabeth (Keeya King<\/a>), Cate (Maddie Phillips) and Emma (Lizze Broadway) look on in horror as they discover the elderly burn victim man they correctly assumed was Thomas Godolkin (Ethan Slater) has been controlling Cipher this whole time. It wasn\u2019t Cipher who had the power to control others, it was Thomas Godolkin. And from his hyperbaric chamber, Godolkin was controlling the man known as Cipher (who has no powers at all), and jumping in and out of others\u2019 bodies as well, while he remained on life support. <\/p>\n

\n\tUntil, that is, Marie brought the century-old supe back to fighting form on this week\u2019s \u201cGen V,\u201d in the hopes thatThomas Godolkin would help them stop Cipher. But too bad, he is Cipher! Now, Marie and Annabeth have Godolkin\u2019s pending massacre plans to deal with, on top of trying to mend their fragile sibling relationship: Annabeth confesses she knew Marie was going to kill their parents by accident before it happened, and it\u2019s haunted her ever since.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShe\u2019s been completely removed from the supes, living with her Aunt Pam, and she thinks that supes are monsters. She doesn\u2019t fully grasp her powers, nor does she really understand them,\u201d King told Variety abiut playing Marie\u2019s precog sister.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd in her confusion over what happened to them and their parents, Annabeth\u2019s pain and shame after their deaths turned into resentment toward Marie \u2014 she chose to blame her sister for something Annabeth knew was not Marie\u2019s fault.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe twist in the sisters\u2019 story raises the stakes for not only Marie and Annabeth, but also for Cate, Emma, Jordan (Derek Luh\/London Thor), Sam (Asa Germann) and Polarity (Sean Patrick Thomas) going into the \u201cGen V\u201d Season 2 finale next week. It shifts the perspective from what the audience saw in the opening scene of Season 1 \u2014\u00a0the deaths of Marie and Annabeth\u2019s parents \u2014 and revealed that\u00a0Marie is not solely responsible for her parents\u2019 deaths. Annabeth could have said something and stopped it.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve watched the show, and I\u2019m like, \u2018OK, Annabeth thinks that Marie killed her parents,’\u201d King said. \u201cAnd then when I sat down with our showrunner, Michelle, she actually explained to me the path that the writers had for Annabeth, which is that she actually had these visions and she\u2019s been holding onto them for a very long time. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAs an actor, it\u2019s sort of weaving in little moments of pain and regret of not acting on those visions, and then also sort of blaming my sister as well,\u201d she continued. \u201cBecause when you\u2019re upset with yourself, sometimes it\u2019s like, \u2018Where do I place that hurt?\u2019 So sometimes she does place it on Marie, her sister.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for Season 2, Episode 7 of \u201cGen V,\u201d now streaming on Amazon\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":306861,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[171,58722,155342,27576,173,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-306860","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-gen-v","10":"tag-keeya-king","11":"tag-the-boys","12":"tag-tv","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115381371215742110","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=306860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306860\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/306861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=306860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=306860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
