The mutants have been through so much this season from losing some of their members to hiding and running away from the Sentinel Services. In the episode before the mid-season finale, the mutants saved a few refugees and unknowingly let in a crazy telepath, Esme, into their fold. Esme is able to manipulate the mutants and the Struckers and by the end of the episode is reunited with her family. She gets Caitlyn & Reed to go on a mission to Agent Turners house and convince him to transfer the captured mutants from Trask Industries and gets the mutants to take her to where the transport will take place. Esme revealed her true powers and she's not only able to read minds but control them. She also has two evil sisters who help her take down the Sentinel Services and break the other mutant prisoners free. I had a bad feeling about Esme when she kept insisting that she needed to get her family and it became obvious that she was not team Underground when she manipulated everyone. The question now is "What are her plans?", "Is she a mutant extremist?".

I was a little bummed out when Sonya was shot by Dr. Campbell although I wasn't so surprised. I had begun to like her character and her very unique powers. She made amends with Clarice after she wiped her memories and they became closer before her death. It seems like Agent Turner may be taking a different approach towards the mutants after his wife made him realize that he was doing more harm than good in his daughter's name. I hope we get more information on who Esme really is and what she plans to do. So far, it hasn't been a terrible season and I hope they get renewed for a second season. The 2 hour season finale of the Gifted airs January 15, 2018
