‘The Strain’ Recap: S3E4 ‘Gone But Not Forgotten’

The Master’s Back!

That didn’t take long.

As we properly guess, as long as the “master worm” is alive, so is The Master. Towards the end of the episode, Eph and Dutch are attacked by a few Strigoi and one of them speaks to Eph via The Master. So it appears that not only did he survive, but he’s found a few body.

But who could The Master be now?

• Eichorst? Probably not because he’s deliciously evil on his own.
• Kelly? It’s a possibility. She has been faithfully serving him and it would make some sense that he might take over her body.
• Zach? Most likely. There’s got to be a reason The Master would keep him alive all this time. It can’t be just to hold Eph hostage. The only real problem with that is the actor. Nothing bad against him, but the new actor playing Zach would have to step his game up majorly. He’s come across very much like Jake Lloyd in The Phantom Menace and has many fans griping whenever he’s on screen. This doesn’t mean that the young actor couldn’t step up to the plate, but he’s got his work cut out for him.
