About this episode

Jason and Rosie recap episode four of Lanterns, discussing character dynamics and plot twists.

Jason and Rosie recap episode four of Lanterns, where Sinestro coaches Hal on manipulating John Stewart while John and Hal team up to scout "the weenie" — the mysterious anchor point on the Macon ranch. A tense, unexpectedly nude confrontation with Will Macon gives way to a satellite strike on Zoe, a trip to Hector Hammond's slaughterhouse, and a twist reveal that Hammond isn't the Manhunter after all. The episode ends with Hal leaping from a moving car the moment he realizes John suspected Zoe all along and said nothing. They close out with their top suspects for the real Manhunter — Zoe, Will Macon, and a dark-horse theory that Laura Linney's Guardian is one herself!
