The Lazarus Project Season 1 Episode 6 Unveiled: Jaw-Dropping Twists Decoded!

Warning: The following article contains spoilers from episode 6 of season 1 of The Lazarus Project. In this episode, George achieves his goal, but the consequences may outweigh the rewards as the season progresses. George was last seen traveling in a truck with Rudy, who is believed to be the caretaker of Big Boy, a well-known nuclear missile. They planned to transport the bomb to a more populated area in order for George to force the Lazarus Project to use the time machine and bring Sarah back to life. However, George's plan didn't go as smoothly as he had hoped, as he remained determined to save the love of his life.

Throughout the course of The Lazarus Project season 1, George, the main character, has become increasingly difficult to support. The British television series seems to be following in the footsteps of Breaking Bad by slowly portraying George as the show's villain. With only two episodes left in the first season, anything can happen. But at this point, episode 6 of The Lazarus Project season 1 continues to cast George in a negative light.

5 Rudy Wasn't The Caretaker In The Lazarus Project

In episode 6 of The Lazarus Project, a surprising twist unraveled a cliffhanger from season 1, episode 5. The mysterious car that had been following George, Rudy, and Big Boy turned out to be driven by Rudy's associates. Contrary to what was believed, Rudy was not the guardian of the bomb. Instead, he and his group of arms dealers deceitfully infiltrated the actual caretaker's house, eliminating him and claiming Big Boy as their own to sell to the highest bidder. However, their plan hit a roadblock when the truck carrying Big Boy broke down on a deserted country road. Sensing the danger, George cleverly discerned the situation and took action, ultimately eliminating the entire group of criminals. In a conflicted state, George struggled with the consequences of his actions, showcasing a noticeable transformation from the character fans had initially encountered during The Lazarus Project series premiere.

4 George Set Off Big Boy

In The Lazarus Project season 1, episode 6, George found himself forced to detonate Big Boy at a safe distance from his intended target due to the truck's immobility. Setting up the detonator, George utilized the criminals' car to drive far away from the explosion, witnessing the destruction as the world (or a small village) burned. Unfortunately, the nuclear missile's initial impact fell short of Lazarus's threshold for using the time machine to return to the last July 1 checkpoint. This left George feeling more desperate than ever upon his return to London.

George must have been aware that detonating Big Boy in a remote location would not achieve his desired outcome. However, driven by his unwavering determination to save Sarah since her demise in The Lazarus Project season 1, episode 2, he saw no alternative but to proceed. Despite the flawed logic behind his actions, George's desperation led him down this path. Fortunately, the death of Shiv allowed George to continue his attempts to manipulate Lazarus's use of the time machine without raising suspicion of his involvement in the chaos.

3 The Lazarus Project Believed Shiv Was Behind The Detonation

In The Lazarus Project, George cunningly framed Shiv for his crimes, capitalizing on the fact that Shiv couldn't defend himself due to being deceased. In episode 6, George returned to Lazarus's headquarters in London armed with undeniable evidence implicating Shiv in the catastrophic nuclear explosion and identifying him as the organization's mole. Presenting compelling proof, George enlightened Wes and Archie about Shiv's secret payments to Janet spanning several years and revealed incriminating text messages between Shiv and Ryan containing Rebrov's kill code.

Regrettably, Wes found himself compelled to believe George's account of traveling to Romania in search of the bomb to expose the truth. According to George's narrative, Shiv pursued him and launched an assault. Portraying himself as a wannabe hero eager to prove his worth to the agency, George depicted Shiv as the antagonist intent on halting him and triggering Big Boy himself. George's actions, stained with murder, undeniably diminished his likability. Yet, his most unforgivable transgression in The Lazarus Project may be the unjust framing of loyal and innocent Shiv, whose unwavering allegiance had always been devoted to Lazarus.

2 George Assassinated The Russian Ambassador To Start A War

In The Lazarus Project season 1, episode 6, George's detonation of Big Boy resulted in the death of approximately 200 individuals - a relatively low number according to Lazarus's standards. However, this act alone did not warrant the agency resetting the clock, prompting George to devise a more cunning plan. The nuclear explosion attracted significant attention, particularly from Russia, as it occurred on their territory. Seeking to gauge their response, George and Wes arranged a meeting with Ambassador Belov. Although she remained cryptic in her words, Wes could discern that Russia had no immediate intention of retaliating - a disappointing revelation for George.

In a subsequent visit to the Russian Embassy, George informed Ambassador Belov of Britain's active targeting of Russia. Initially skeptical of his claims, George resorted to extreme measures, brandishing a gun and killing the ambassador, her bodyguards, and even her husband in front of their young son. These ruthless actions only solidified George's reputation as the primary antagonist of The Lazarus Project. The ensuing assassination prompted Russia to unleash a barrage of missiles, ensuing chaos and turmoil.

1 The Lazarus Project Reset The Clock

Russia's missile launch in episode 6 of The Lazarus Project season 1 motivated Wes to utilize the time machine and reset the timeline. This led to George finally attaining his desired outcome - everyone returning to the previous July 1st, when Sarah, Shiv, and the other people George had killed were still alive, and Rebrov was not in custody. George was reunited with Sarah, albeit only momentarily as Shiv woke up and went after him as per Rebrov's advice, prompting George to flee.

It remains to be seen whether Wes, Archie, and the other Lazarus agents will believe Shiv's version of events or be compelled to trust George's account as the truth. The evidence seemingly points towards Shiv's guilt, making it challenging for him to prove that George was responsible for the explosion and Russia's counterstrike. Nevertheless, George's actions are unlikely to be deemed worthwhile in The Lazarus Project if they result in him being separated from Sarah.
