![]() ![]() Given the huge focus that this season has placed on the relationship between Sean and Daniel in the preceding three episodes, the most notable quality of Episode 4 right off the bat is the deeper focus on Sean himself. ![]() With Daniel under the spell of the church, Episode 4 finds Sean testing his faith to safely bring Daniel back on their journey towards Mexico, while also wrestling him out of the control of his newfound caretakers. ![]() After a long drive from northern California to Nevada, Sean (as expected) does end up finding Daniel, though he winds up being in the hands of a religious group that is utilizing his powers for their own purposes. With a few obstacles along the way, Sean ends up tracking down Daniel's location to the town of Haven Point, Nevada. However, after catching wind of Daniel's potential whereabouts, Sean ends up making a break from the hospital and heads out onto the open road to find him. Sean wakes up a few months later at a hospital in northern California recovering from the botched robbery and his injury, while being held for questioning by the FBI and an impending transfer to a juvenile detention center. Picking up a few months after the end of Episode 3, "Faith" catches players up on the aftermath of the events at Merrill's pot farm that left Sean without an eye and Daniel missing. Though it perhaps feels like the story is just now starting to gain momentum as it nears its conclusion, Episode 4 of Life is Strange 2 continues to build on the season's strong blend of character development and hard decisions in a story that very much feels in tune with the current political and social landscape. The fourth episode, titled "Faith," very much explores this journey in both a literal and metaphorical sense, as Sean and Daniel have both changed dramatically from their days in the suburbs of Seattle, to now seeking refuge with family across the border into Mexico. With Life is Strange 2 coming up on a year since it first debuted, the story of Sean and Daniel has (finally) reached its penultimate moment, bringing the story to a pretty heated point in the Diaz brothers' journey. ![]()
