“Eight Hours” is episode ten of season one of Falling Skies and the seasons finale.
Captain Weaver is leading the 2nd Massachusetts in what is probably going to be a solo attack on the alien structure in Boston, as the other regiments that were originally going to assist could have been destroyed.
The de-harnessed Jake continues to behave weirdly and doesn’t seem to consider himself to be human any longer. This comes to a head and endangers everyone at the school.
The Mech-metal bullets Pope designed get tried out.
The season does end on a cliffhanger, something that isn’t always true these days, probably because so many series get cancelled instead of renewed, leading to unresolved cliffhangers. I wonder if that’s why mid-season finales and breaks (which I find really annoying) are so common these days?
