She tells Jarvis this will only get worse if Martinez has his way and she has a plan to get Jarvis in her ballpark and making him become the president. She expressed sadness at all who have been killed, leading Jarvis to believe this is the only way to save lives. Sophia knows how to stroke egos. Even her voice is very beguiling, so it seems fitting she would build Jarvis up to be the new Leader of the Free World and Jarvis would possibly grasp the opportunity. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbc.com\/the-event\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6478\" title=\"The Event S01x17 Sophia outside on phone\" alt=\"Sophia outside on phone\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/The-Event-S01x17-Sophia-Outside-on-phone.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Back in France, Sean is prowling in the woods around the Chateau de Perrault and sees Dempsey and others leaving.

Jarvis pulls a gun on her and asks why he should not shoot her right now. She of course points out she would then become a martyr for her people. She says he can be the one to lead his country into the New order of co-existing with their people, but not while Martinez is in control.

The acupuncturist is then seen texting who we now know to be Sophia. Back in their house, Sophia says &#8220;Jarvis has it&#8221;. Arron asks if he will use it. Sophia replies &#8220;He&#8217;s naive enough to think he can save his country, but once we have the weapon, nothing can.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbc.com\/the-event\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6462\" title=\"The Event S01x17 Jarvis has the poison\" alt=\"The Event S01x17 Jarvis has the poison\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/MovieM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/The-Event-S01x17-Jarvis-has-the-poison.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"372\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"> In Murmansk, Russia, an excavation is taking place.

Jarvis asked her if she has any more of the croissants they had the day before and she goes to get some. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Alone now, Jarvis leaves the sweetener he obtained from the acupuncturist in place of the President&#8217;s sweetener.

I am wondering if the &#8216;Weapon&#8217; is a biological agent, possibly within that body which was frozen to it. This would make sense to have a major pandemic\/epidemic wipe out &#8216;humans&#8217; instead of major surface or ecological damage from say, a Nuclear or Hydrogen bomb. Perhaps some disease that the EBEs can not get sick or die from. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Keeping the planet liveable, sustaining and sound would be the way to go if you want to preserve it for your species, would it not? The fact that Sophia said in this episode; &#8220;(Jarvis) is naive enough to think he can save his country, but once we have our weapon, nothing can.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Disease knows no borders. It has no prejudice. It only cares about your biology. I can safely guess that if Aliens can cure disease, like man, they can also create them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">But it seems that the EBEs are going from &#8216;co-existing&#8217; with us to an all out obliteration of Earth&#8217;s populace. It is interesting to see Sophia is also reacting to the emotions of losing her son, Thomas and then having Simon betray her. She seems to in many ways regret what she has to do for her people, but at the same time doesn&#8217;t want to trust any human ever again. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">After what they have been through and thinking about what they may face &#8211; the extinction of their people- I can&#8217;t say I can completely blame her. I feel we could have, at one time, lived with the EBEs. They seem to be &#8216;Human&#8217; enough to marry, have offspring with, work alongside&#8230; Heck, who&#8217;s that checkout girl at the market, really? Where is your Physician from?
