Transcript

Alex: (Alone, speaking to camera) So, I am on my way to a place that will remain nameless, and I'll probably be there for a very long time, (Whispers) I know. Before I go, though, I just--I wanted to clear the air and say that I'm sorry about what happened to you guys in Vegas. I take full responsibility for what that Shadow member did to you, and I'm really, really, really, really sorry. Now that my... loyalties have realigned themselves, so to speak, I wanted to give you guys some advice as you begin your new search for Bree. You're not safe. These men (Shots of large, thuggish-looking males) will be following you, if they haven't started already. They're called Shadows, they're the bodyguards of the Elders. They're physically augmented by a variety of pharmaceuticals; Modafinil, Anabolic Steroids, Amphetamines. They don't need to sleep and they're stronger and faster than the average person. This does come at a cost though, which is that most of them don't make it past the age of 30. Shadow members can be distinguished from other people by the omicron tattoo on their forearm. In the center of the omicron lies an upside down tau. Watch out for these men, they are maniacs. This gentleman (shots of a Watcher, from "Watch This!" video) is a Watcher. He's part of a 20-member team whose only mission is to protect girls like Bree. They have no knowledge whatsoever of the Ceremony, they've never even heard of it. They're members of the Hymn of One and they don't know anything about the Order, its intentions, its makeup; they don't even know the Order exists. Be that as it may, Watchers will absolutely use violence if violence is used first, and if that's the case, watch out! These guys make Marine Corps look like Quakers (Clip of shooting from "Communication Terminated" video). Seriously. Watchers are identifiable by this tattoo (Shot of Watcher symbol tattoo). It's similar to an Order symbol, but you guys should know that already. Remember what Gemma (chuckles) told you a long time ago? One last note about the Shadows: they will never leave the side of an Elder unless they're given permission to do so. If that happens, be far away. They are the Earth's true menace. But, you knew that already, you've already been in their company. I'm, um, I'm sorry that my farewell hasn't been more uplifting but it is--it is imperative that you know the danger that you're getting into. And I just hope that your friendship with Bree is worth it, because (Pauses) the danger you're inviting upon yourself could cost you your lives.

Notes

  • This is the first video blog to be posted by Alex.
  • This video reveals the most inside information to date about the HoO and its members, it also hints that Bitsie Tulloch will probably be leaving the series after this episode as her character, Alex, could be jailed or even executed for her infractions against the Order.
  • By her comment "[my] loyalties have realigned themselves," Alex could be referencing a call clarion call as In literature: a point in the plot where a character receives clear justification or incentive for his or her actions in the future of the plot, shedding some light on her real motives. It is possible that she had been working for the Order but has since then has decided to help her nephew.
  • The drugs that Alex mentions are the same drugs that Nikki Bower found in Ace's motel room.
