While the Nazis, the Japanese, and the Resistance continue to prepare to attack one another, Kennedy reminds us that in times such as these, peace is the better option. And while it only actually exists in the alternate version of America, Kennedy’s words may also apply to the current state of the show’s Earth-1 America. Kennedy’s message is a call for peace with the Soviet Union. While the storylines have been completely disjointed this season, Episode 6 ends with a stunning montage of the key players from this episode while a speech delivered by JFK during the Cuban Missile Crisis plays in the background. Joe is stuck in a rut, and it has been long enough. The drug trip is artistically appealing but does not offer us any further progress with his character. The writers seem to be out of things to do with Joe at this point. This dilemma has run its course and is just prolonging Joe’s absence from America. Joe still seems to be trying to find meaning in his life, and the episode ends with him, yet again, considering his loyalties. This further suggests that altered versions of reality are the best access points to truth. Ironically, then, Joe learns truth in this state, though he dismisses it when he sobers up. Joe hallucinates Juliana telling him that she is alive. As the audience sees through Joe’s eyes, they gain access to a version of reality under the influence of drugs. Joe’s drug trip scene is visually bizarre and compelling, as images are either blurred or enhanced through lighting techniques.

On the west coast, Tagomi’s thick black-rimmed glasses give his character the look of a perfect professional dimension traveler. The Nazi uniforms and even Thomas’ school uniform are commanding, especially with the armband that has a swastika over red and white stripes. Juliana’s shopping trip with Lucy (Emily Holmes) includes a parade of dresses through a fancy boutique. Smith (Chelah Horsdal) and her bridge club members dress in classic 1960s dresses. The costumes, in general, are rather striking and very fitting for this universe. Meanwhile, Joe (Luke Kleintank) goes romping around in nature with Nicole (Bella Heathcote), the most stylishly dressed character on the show. Part of the brilliance of this show is the way it can play with the audience’s sentiments, as Thomas’ situation actually incites grief for the Smith family, making it harder to root for Juliana to succeed. Since Juliana’s character seems completely void of emotion, she probably would do well as a spy however, if Juliana learns of Thomas’ (Quinn Lord) condition, she could completely exploit Obergruppenführer Smith (Rufus Sewell) and his family.

Juliana has been on the run and looking for answers for two seasons. For Team Resistance, George (Tate Donovan) wants Juliana (Alexa Davalos) to go undercover, which will hopefully add some depth to her character.
