From Spoilerslayer.com Tru Calling Season 2 - Episode 1 : Perfect Storm - Spoilers !!!!!By Tensai Wednesday 14 July 2004, by xanderbnd TC: Woo Hoo, New Tru As expected, the first spoilers of the next season of ’Tru Calling’ have arrived. It’s an interesting mix, both attributed to the same episode, but seeming to have two distinctly different storylines. I believe what these may represent is not only the plot of the first episode, but possibly some new recurring characters. Tru Calling: Perfect Storm (2.1) This season, Tru is attending medical school, however it would seem that she is only auditing courses and not actually going full-time. At school, we meet what appears to be Tru’s new group of friends (one of which is definitely going to be around for a while, the other two may be as well). We have two young men, Jensen and Tyler. Jensen, who has just broken up with his fiancee, is more than a bit abrasive. He’s also a little bit creepy and obviously very interested in Tru. His character should appear in several episodes this season. Tyler, who is in way over his head in med school, is on the verge of dropping out. Finally there is Avery, a young woman who is a close friend with Jensen, and may harbor a little crush on Tyler. Avery is also more than a bit curious about Tru, and suspects that she has a secret. Things have changed in the morgue as well, as Davis discovers when he heads out for his annual psych review. Instead of the old staff psychologist, he’s surprised to meet Dr. Carrie Allen, a new addition to the staff. She’s friendly at first, though grows a bit nervous at some of Davis’s answers to her tests. It is also reported that we may have a new morgue attendant, to replace the now missing Jack. The Day Resets We meet Kate Wilson, a member of the harbor patrol. She and her partner, Matt, are returning to the dock when they see a man in a kayak in trouble. The kayak tips over, and the man doesn’t reappear. Kate dives into the water, and rescues a very wet, Jack Harper. After they return to the dock, Jack thanks her for saving his life, making an excuse that he was practicing to beat his sister at a boating competition. Kate is walking off, when Jack calls her back. He explains that she isn’t the first one to save his life, and turns on the charm quite a bit, and asks her out to lunch. She accepts, right as Tru arrives. Tru has already bumped into Kate, posing as a potential recruit for the harbor patrol. Kate begs off of her prior engagement with Tru, while both Tru and Jack act as if they’ve never met. Obviously, Kate is this week’s victim. Tru comes on a bit too strong, and Kate decides to go with Jack. While she gets her things, Tru and Jack taunt each other about who will succeed. Jack seems to have the upper hand, as Tru can only watch as Kate goes off to lunch with him. Tru calls Davis and tells him to figure out some way of keeping Kate from going out on the water that night. It appears she dies, while rescuing someone at sea during a storm. Davis, who has blown off his appointment with Dr. Wilson earlier in the day this time, is trying to figure out what to do. Carrie walks in right as Davis is placing a call to the Coast Guard, posing as an Admiral. Tru tries one last time to keep Kate and Matt from going out on the water. However, nothing she can say will convince them. The boat heads out into the rough waters of the harbor, to rescue the stranded vessel. As they get further out, the storm continues to get worse, and Kate realizes that Tru wasn’t lying about it being too dangerous. They are still going to continue ahead, when a Coast Guard Cutter radios, saying that they have the situation under control. Thanks to a tip from a certain Navy Admiral. It would seem that Tru manages to beat Jack at his own game, or does she? At some later time, and I believe actually later in the season, we discover that Jack may have found a Davis of his own. During one of the sessions with Dr. Wilson, Davis explains to her everything that is happening, including Tru’s secret. It would seem that Dr. Wilson is skeptical, but Davis also warns her that there are other players in the game. Very dangerous players, like Jack Harper. Which makes it all the more surprising, when fresh off of Davis’s confession, Carrie hooks up with Jack in a bar and spills everything that Davis told her. Because not only is she working with Jack, but she’s his girlfriend as well. So major spoilers for ’Tru Calling’ right at the beginning. With the addition of the new characters, and no sign of Harrison or Lindsay in any of the information that I have, you have to wonder what role they will have in the new season. Still nowhere near enough information to really know for certain if this is going to be what happens, but it’s been obvious to me, that some major reworking of the series was going to probably happen. The ratings, while enough to keep it going for another season, are nowhere near what Fox wants to see from the show. It’s going to be very interesting to see what else is revealed as more spoilers start coming in. 1 Message |
