A brief recap of The Last Frontier season 1 episode 2

The Last Frontier season 1 episode 2 deepens the mystery surrounding Havlock, building to a major cliffhanger that could turn Frank's life upside down. Frank tries to play Havlock by pretending that he's handing the other man the inmate from seat 12A in exchange for Sarah, but it's too late before Frank and Sidney realize that Havlock is the one playing them.

It turns out that the inmate from 12A is also a diversion, and Havlock has never planned for an exchange to happen. He just wants Frank and everyone else distracted so he can intercept the vehicle carrying the black box retrieved from the aircraft wreckage. By the time Frank and Sidney go to the vehicle in question, Havlock is nowhere to be found, and so is Sarah.

What they find is a blood-stained cooler Havlock has left for Frank. It is the same cooler Sarah had used to knock Havlock down and try to escape.

Major events to expect from The Last Frontier season 1 episode 3

After the high-octane introduction of the story that would drive the entire series, here are some potential plot developments to watch out for in next week's The Last Frontier season 1 episode 3:

• The revelation of what's inside the blood-stained cooler Havlock left for Frank could change the game in episode 3. It could be something just unusual, another puzzle piece to his game, or it could be downright horrifying, like Sarah's head.
• Episode 3 could reveal why Havlock wanted to get his hands on the aircraft's black box and what he plans to do with it.
• Per the synopsis from Apple TV, episode 3 will see Havlock's plan taking an unexpected turn. There will be more hostages, and whether or not Frank's son will be among the ones in danger after helping a man, who is possibly one of the inmates, is still a mystery.
