This sixth episode has been the best in the series because it introduces the fascinating character of Walter Cruz's mother. The mother has become suspicious that her son is being held against his will. As a savvy schoolteacher, the mother discovers that Homecoming is not an offshoot of the VA, but a private organization called The Geist Emergent Group that is the business of making drain cleaning solution!
The mom uses her ingenuity to locate the Homecoming facility outside of Tampa and pays a visit to Walter. It is clear by now that Walter has become emotionally attached to Heidi, who has a mutual attraction to him. We learn as well that the vets at Homecoming are being administered an experimental drug. If Walter were to leave four weeks into the program, he could have a catastrophic reaction. But instead of listening to the good counsel of his mother, he decides to stay in the treatment center. The mother then files the complaint with the DOD that Carrasco has been investigating.
In the "half-screen" scenes in the present, the smooth-talking Colin (calling himself Hunter) locates Heidi at a laundromat. He then puts on the charm and seduces the vulnerable and wounded Heidi! In the best line in the episode, Walter's mother tells him, "You're being used!" But the same line could apply to the gullible Heidi Bergman.
