What happened in Episode 4?
- Episode 4, titled A Holy Charge, unfolds across two timelines and centers on two births, with a devastating twist.
- In the past, a pregnant woman becomes the first to give birth inside the bunker. A risky C-section, aided by President Cal Bradley’s support, ensures both mother and baby survive.
- In the present, Redmond forms a bond with the newborn and hints at a future where she imagines the world beyond the bunker.
- Meanwhile, Xavier and Annie’s journey cross-country leads them toward Atlanta and then the Colorado bunker. Their plans are upended when they stop at an abandoned diner and Annie goes into labor prematurely. Locals help deliver a daughter, but Annie bleeds out and dies in Xavier’s arms.
- Before passing, Annie entrusts Xavier with a letter for their child, urging him to raise the baby. Xavier takes the baby to Atlanta, where a contact claims to be Teri’s friend and says she “has been taken from me.”
- The first four episodes are currently streaming on Hulu/Disney+, with subsequent installments releasing on a weekly cadence.
