"Why do things have to die?"

"It is nature. And nature is flawed."

This episode asks the question the meaning of life and death. As Campion and the kids learn the cost of survival sometimes can only be done by killing other sentient beings; Mother who wonders what it is like to be a "creator" - an actually pregnant woman; Tempest relates to a mother; and of course the bloody struggle of leadership among Mithraics.

There's something poetic about this episode, that starts with the loss of a mouse, a small creature possession of a kid that ends with the death of a pregnant creature, who reproduces life and Ambrose the leader of Mithraic survivors who were supposedly to save his group with his faith.

"Let nature run its course."

"Nature has no course."
