Before Reed's discovery of the truth in his family, however, Thunderbird/John (Blair Redford) will also be on a quest for the truth in "The Gifted" season 1 episode 6. The installment, airing Monday, Nov. 6, will find the members of the Mutant Underground back on Sentinel Services' turf to help John.
He wants to get to the bottom of what the Sentinel Services did to his friend Pulse (Zach Roerig). The agency has been using his powers against the mutants but it looks like Pulse has no idea.
Blink/Claire (Jamie Chung), on the other hand, will have to decide if she'll stick it out with Mutant Underground. She still feels betrayed upon knowing that Dreamer used her powers to manipulate her memory and placed her in an embarrassing situation with John. Is leaving the group is the best thing for Claire?
FOX has not yet given "The Gifted" additional episode orders on top of the 10 episodes previously ordered for season 1. The network has not also announced a second season renewal at this point.
"The Gifted," however, is well-received by critics and fans of the X-Men franchise. The show is also FOX's third best-rating drama series behind "Empire" and "Star." An official confirmation from the network should be in the news soon.
