Colony season 3 episode 7 recap: ‘A Clean, Well Lighted Place’
By Grant Butler
The Bowmans have spent several months in the Seattle Colony under their assumed name, the Daltons. Will (Josh Holloway) is working as a driver and doing private investigations, Katie (Sarah Wayne Callies) is working for the Colony as an advocate assisting families.
Their son Bram (Alexander Neustaedter) is working as a delivery man and their daughter Grace is attending school. No one is rebelling and their life now is completely the opposite of everything that’s happened to them so far in Colony.
Will is trying to locate a man named Terry, whose wife swears he entered the Colony with them. While looking into the matter, Will finds out from Terry’s friend Lillian the man was good at fixing cars. He also talks to Terry’s husband Jonathan who claims that they were ambushed outside the Colony.

Ok, this episode felt extremely odd. It was like looking at an alternate reality for the Bowmans. The phrase that describes their new life in Seattle is “If it looks to good to be true it probably is.” Especially because Bram is making deliveries for something called Emerald City Direct.
Emerald City is a reference the city in The Wizard of Oz where the man pretending to be a wizard resides. Clearly, something is up with the Seattle Colony, it’s just a matter of what.
