Counterpart Recap: The Sincerest Form Of Flattery

Season: 1 / Episode: 7 / Starz ***Spoilers be taking the proper precautions so they can’t identify the body. Previous COUNTERPART recaps are here*** Maaaaaaaaan, listen. I know I’m supposed to start this shit off proper, but I need y’all to know I still ain’t recovered from that Clare bombshell from last episode. And speaking of Clare… and speaking of recovering… My money is on this little girl identifying her parents as the one little girl that will one day rule us all. Bruh, why standing in a whole building worth of blue Ziploc bodies like this was The Wire after they pulled the bodies out the vacants? This shit is Earth Prime in ’97. Remember when folks were talking about that epidemic? Well, this look like some first hand shit. Quality Education Clare got a new school, but she having a hard time adjusting, yo. She wanna go home and her teacher like, AIN’T NO HOME, FAM, SORRY TO BE THE ONE TO TELL YA. The teacher telling her about gazelles and lions and surviving. But something telling me that Clare don’t see herself as the fuckin’ gazelle in that story. Clare seemed to be doing alright until they pulled her out of class. They walking her through the same underbelly and this shit looking like the Red Room and shit. We making Widows / Sparrows / Romanoffs down here man? Short answer… uh, yes. Turns out there is an (upward inflection) operating table down here? The teacher is like, so check it… we gonna have to break your legs… …that’s it, yo. No jokes, no punchlines, no…
