Episode Info:

This episode is titled ” Don’t take this personally”

The third episode of Cloak & Dagger opens with a shot of… I don’t know what. Something’s being made, and mechanics are involved, although we aren’t told what it is. But after that initial shot of uncertainty, we’re right where we left off – Tandy and Tyrone are having a standoff. Tyrone’s just shot a bullet into Tandy’s getaway car. He’s missed, but he made an impression, and after the pair’s obligatory finger-pointing and the confusion of Tyrone’s sudden appearance (he still hasn’t gotten the hang of teleportation), Tandy finally recognizes him. She reprises our dude with the first episode’s line, “You’re that kid.”

But that recognition still isn’t enough for Tandy to stick around: she was on her way out of New Orleans anyway. To Tyrone’s dismay, she doesn’t have time to help him figure out his situation. Tandy still hops in her car, and informs him that she’s out.

“Don’t take this personally,” she adds, “but I hope I never see you again.”

And of course she will – otherwise, we wouldn’t have much of a show. But in the meantime, we get a proper introduction to Detective O’Reilly (Emma Lahana), who’s doing a pretty good job of putting the story of Tandy’s assault together. After their initial pleasantries don’t go the way he expects, the white guy Tandy stabbed way back when realizes his reframing of their encounter isn’t going the way he thinks it’s going to go. So he cuts their conversation in the ICU short, claiming he’s just tired. Detective O’Reilly’s giving him undue stress. And she acquiesces to give him space, but it’s the first mistake she’s made in her investigation: all she’s done is given him time to arrange for an alibi.

Meanwhile, we return to Tandy, who’s gone back to her mother’s house because… who knows! Guess she wasn’t headed out of the city after all! And for someone so determinedly on the run – to the extent that she’s left her partner in crime, Liam, hanging out in lock-up – she’s hardly doing much running. She ends up back at her mother’s house, which is promptly visited by Detective O’Reilly – but, for the first time in the series, Tandy’s mom comes through. She tells the detective that she hasn’t seen Tandy in weeks. She notes that, if there’s trouble, her daughter is probably already gone.
