We’ve moved on a couple of episodes since our last visit to Colony and things have clearly progressed for Maddie, though we’ve been left to fill in many of the blanks for ourselves.
Speaking of filling in… Maddie (Amanda Righetti, The Mentalist), as described previously, is working for Charlotte (Kathryn) her house in the ‘Green Zone’. She is helping to collate and catalogue works of art for distribution amongst the lucky few. Nolan (Adrian Pasdar, Heroes), Charlotte’s husband, is a political player we see is involved in something a kin to a cult revolving around the take over of the planet by the invaders. He took a shine to Maddie last time out. Charlotte is clearly a control freak which we see very much in our first scene when Maddie and Nolan are… errr… you know… and we see madam Burgess is watching them. Whether, to mis-quote the Spicy Girls, “three become one” is left to your own dirty mind. Charlotte did look a little… ruffled. We actually saw this scene weeks ago in, wrongly/oddly added to a trailer for an earlier episode.
Later, Nolan tries to get Maddie to go… errr… one-on-one with him which is very much against the rules laid (no pun intended) down by his wife. Maddie’s not for turning though as she needs her mentor to get insulin for her sick son.
Which brings us to our next does of Kathryn. Maddie notices some paintings have gone missing and finds them tucked away elsewhere in the house. In the background we see Charlotte chewing out (that’s your mind again!) the gardener for doing something not to her liking.
As a form of punishment for allegedly breaking the rules Maddie finds herself demoted to paperwork, as she was doing before revealing her knowledge of locally held private art collections to Charlotte. Incensed at this injustice that could cost her boy dearly she confronts Nolan and tells him she knows things she can use to harm his position (your mind is in the gutter again!). He denies it but not particularly convincingly and goes on to describe his wife as being somewhat unstable and he’d like shot of her. Everyone’s out for something.
I’m having to talk about Maddie a lot in these descriptions because that’s our (the viewers) way to Charlotte. We’re using her, just like everyone on the show is using someone else for their own ends.
Kathryn/Charlotte were very much background players in both senses of the word in this episode of Colony. She is due to return to the screen in a couple of weeks time for number 9. Hopefully we’ll see her in a promo video or photos for that one soon.
Interestingly, the last two photos of Kathryn that were released as promos for this episode depicted a scene that was not in it. Maybe they’re from the next one. Or a deleted scene.
There are 37 HD (720p) screencaps of Kathryn in the episode “Brussard” of Colony in the Gallery.
