Wow, what an episode! Aurora is put in a real moral quandary about how far she will go to maintain her Nazi cover and is forced into a pretty terrible act! The horror of the Nazis plans are even more to the fore in this episode as their policy of 'clearing' Polish villages is put into action. Meanwhile Livia's father seems even more taken than ever with Aurora under her German cover as Helena, and invites her to Berlin.
I'm not sure which is more horrifying; the classification of the children in a Polish school as potential Aryans or the hunt of the title that turns into a literal man hunt or the 'gift' Livia's father brings to his daughter near the end of the episode. We also have a rather shocking last scene in Faber's office as Aurora, disgusted with herself, can't face Alfred and Neil and gets into a rather heated discussion of morals with an equally self-hating Franz, who had been forced to face the fact his is just as bad as the Nazis soldiers he commands to kill women and children. Their desperate clinch is seen by dah-dah-dah, the villainous Heidi, still smarting over being usurped as Nazi lady of the hour. This was one of the most tense and nail-biting episodes of the season, with our team forced to do terrible things and try to prevent even more terrible things! Evelyne Brochu and Torben Liebrecht are especially good in this episode. I am not that familiar with the actions of the Nazis in Poland, the rugged resistance and the way the Nazis treated them so the drama was compelling - as always.
