Although most of the Hunting Party plot focuses on violent serial killers before and after they are released from the pit, “Arlo Brandt” is different from previous serial killers.
Arlo Brandt, played by David Ramsey, once hoarded property and body, but escaped from the pit for renewal purposes.
As can be seen from the Hunting Party Season 1 Episode 6, he has almost become like a religious cult leader, hoping to force everyone to eliminate their possessions and be like him. It’s creepy, and it depends on the trio to distinguish what’s behind his insane mind.
Additionally, Bex becomes impatient and makes Oliver informed about Silo 12. This may affect their relationship progress.
Finally, Shane’s sense of family mystery begins, and he tries to learn more about what his father knows while others stop at the senior center.
Disband your life, disband your thoughts
Arlo Brandt once hoarded so much property and body that it took four U-Haul trucks towed it away.
It was intimidating to see his wall-to-wall property. His cell was stuffed with property, including Hawaii shook his head when he took it from the victims at the opening ceremony of the episode.
He modified the roads near the house so that travelers would get a flat tire that would attract them to use his phone there, making him addicted to murder.
In the pit, Arlo received NDT or deletion therapy and he was denied any property.
The therapist wants to change his impulse to own things and people, and the need to kill.
Alo was almost like a mouse in the manipulation adjustment box of a person who studied psychology. If he gives up something, he will be rewarded.
He kept hearing and repeating “Dissolve your life and get your mind sorted out”.
In theory, this is a good practice. We all work better in life. But it is dangerous to preach to those in question.
The team realized this when they watched a therapy session in Arlo. He went to the extreme, wearing only his underwear, sitting on the floor, and even swearing that the chair was a waste.
While the therapy works, it is dangerous to blow up the pit and release Alo back into the world. He flourished in isolation.
Arlo Brandt becomes a creepy and frightening cult leader
Initially, Arlo Brandt had another monk, as he mediated there, talked about changes and bought twelve robes.
He seems to be another disciple who does well, not a fearsome cult leader.
However, when the team found that several people were under attack, they looked for a link. Arlo hunted down a well-known real estate agent, Lucas Niles, and then attacked Tracy Miller in the parking lot.
The team learned that Tracy Miller and another man, Gus Morgan, looked at the home for sale by Lucas Niles. Bex realizes he targets people who like property, who are eager to stop him and then hurt others.
Shane: Isn’t that everyone?
Bex: He wants to teach the world a lesson.
We’ve discussed this before, but treatment in pits usually hurts these prisoners. This led Alo to recreate the underground pit and think he was in charge.
He hopes that they will eliminate all possessions and follow his leadership or he will destroy them.
I thank Gus Morgan for caring more about the safety of his teenage son Felix during the ordeal. Gus hesitated and went with Shane without his son.
I know Bex is the explorer and her job is her job, but I want to see Shane or Hassani in the last scene, especially if the prisoner shares some details about the pit.
At least, when Hassani arrived to protect Bex, we saw a battle scene between Arlo Brandt and Hassani. Patrick Sabongui teased the scene in his interview, which was an action.
Bex and Oliver’s connection is getting harder to fight
When Oliver was dark, his connection with Bex became more and more complex. She is his weakness and he finally folds it up when she asks for answers about the island.
Oliver tries to deflect, but when men keep it secret, women despise it because they try to protect them.
Bex especially hates her because she is a bad guy who can take care of herself and her daughter.
Although Oliver has been concerned about Bex’s safety on these tasks, he sounds frightened when he realizes that Arlo Brandt has recreated the underground pit.
They shared an old-fashioned moment of anxiety on the intercom. He heard that Bex admitted that she trusted him with better judgment of herself, and he urgently begged Hasani to arrive at the bex before it was too late.
Bex: I believe in someone I shouldn’t. I want to trust people, even if I shouldn’t.
An anxious couple is my jam, and that moment solidified these two for me.
They remain trusting each other, leading to Oliver’s suspicion in Bex that armed security forces may have triggered violations of Silo 12 and pit explosions.
How do Shane and Dr. Dulles contact?
Having parents with Alzheimer’s disease is frightening, especially when they become restless and lose their memory.
I thought Shane was overwhelmed by her father’s care and her new job.
He doesn’t want to move because he still longs for answers, hoping that his father will offer on one of his more sober days.
Shane is still learning, so naturally, he longs to be closer to his father. He told Bex that he was working in the pit and was closer to his family.
But is Dr. Dulles his father? We didn’t expect that cliff and another woman who declared Dr. Dulles was her father, who had no son.
At first, I wondered if he was just another child, but it showed that one of them was lying. I pray that this is not Shane.
I don’t want him to use Dr. Dulles for information. His feelings for Dr. Dulles seemed to be sincere. This will be an interesting mystery.
