This is the fifth episode of the first season of 12 Monkeys. In my opinion, this may be the best episode of the series so far. It has lots of action, as we enter a showdown between our heroes and the Army of the Twelve Monkeys. The sense of danger is high, which gives our heroes a sense of duty. Also, we get our first look at a possible alternate reality , which may make the story even more confusing. 

In this episode, "The Night Room," Dr. Railly and Cole travel to the Night Room where they have an encounter with the Pallid Man, as he was able to crack Jennifer Goines before Cole could. 

Overall, this was quite a fun episode to watch. I thought the ending was amazing and it provided more to the story despite a tiny bit of confusion. The ending does make me wonder what happens next.
