It took six episodes of grueling punishment and secretive planning, but Luke Ellis (Joe Freeman) finally escaped the title prison in Sunday’s (August 10) new episode of The Institute, titled “Run.” He also immediately found help in the form of Tim (Ben Barnes), who’d been lurking around the Institute after developing suspicions about what was really going on there and had grown used to weird theories after meeting Annie (Mary Walsh).

Despite everything Luke had been through, it didn’t take him long to trust Tim. That was due, in part, to Luke’s burgeoning ability to read minds and tell that Tim believed what he was saying about wanting to help. But it was also thanks to the fact that he didn’t have much of a choice. Maureen (Jane Luk) died by suicide instead of heading to the Red Steps to meet him after being summoned to see Stackhouse (Julian Richings). Journalist Kate (Jordan Alexander) proved to be a sleeper agent and tried to kill both Luke and Tim. Plus, thanks to a few timely news reports, the rest of the world thought he had something to do with his parents’ murder. Luke was thus alone in the world save for Tim.
