The Purge

The stakes are raised on a claustrophobic episode of The Purge this week.

It's 3 months after Purge night and everybody's just getting worse.

Ryan's journey connects with the other storylines this week, while everyone else searches for answers.

The residents of New Orleans try to get back to normal the day after the Purge.

The Purge returns for season 2 to show us what happens when all crimes are NOT legal. (People still commit them, I bet.)

The Purge ends its first season and we finally find out who survives the night, besides Salome on her Scrooge McDuck-style pile of money.

The contours of Joe's scheme are revealed and Salome is fetching him a stool so that he can get over himself.

Everything that rises must converge and so do The Purge's storylines this week. Hope these characters can play nicely together!

In a look at Jane's teenage years, we see how she formed her moral code. Meanwhile, something isn't right inside the Betancourts' home.

We get a proper introduction to Joe, the masked man, this week. Is he a savior or is something not quite right about him? (Besides the fact that he makes sandwiches by putting the mustard on the knife first.)

Well, the Stantons did say there would be surprises at their party, but I bet they didn't imagine this one. Meanwhile, we meet Penelope's buyer and find out how she was recruited into the cult.

Penelope's terrible, horrible no good, very bad night just keeps getting worse, while Jane makes a risky decision, and Catalina gives Jenna the Whoopi Goldberg "you in danger, girl" scene in real life.

The Purge's flashback machine shows us what happened to Miguel and Penelope, while the rest of the episode raises some compelling questions.

The Purge night begins in earnest and we start to learn a little bit more about the characters' motives.

It's time for the Annual Purge! Or at least, it's time for the premiere episode of The Purge, an adaptation of the film series.
