Caleb Is Bait For Frankie
Gene specifically asked for our thoughts on the whole «Why would Hale «bring back» Caleb?» question that seems to have the internett in a buzz.
I do have some thoughts, and Ill try to keep it short:
Ash touched on the possibilty that the rebelions dont remember and thats why theyre called C and J etc. I dont think thats why, I think they just dont use their real names as a safety precaution so they dont get found out. I think they definitely remember, and this is shown to us by Frankies search for her fathers body; she remembers him. The reason Frankie wanted to go with Bernard when they met was because he said he knew what she was looking for (her father). She loves her father more than anything, and even amist this fight for the human race she is still looking for her fathers body, and I assume her fathers leagcy is the reason she joined/built the resistance in the first place. The father-daughter bond is umistakable and has been a big part of this season since the start.
So, why does Hale need Caleb? What could Caleb possibly give her that she needs and cant find/get herself?
Frankie.
Frankie, who obviously has a major role and rank in the rebelion (put to us pretty plainly in the scene where she stands up for keeping Bernard and Stubbs alive). Hale is going to use Caleb to get to Frankie, and then the rebelion. This father/daughter scenerio will also give is the ultimate robot/human question; is host-Caleb really her father and is their now-love real.
I do think that Caleb and his «special powers» ate going to play an important part in the ultimate part of the show, but I dont think thats why Hale wants him.
Just my two cents!
This is my frist e-mail but Im a looong time listener. I love the show, especially Ash, and I promise to get Hackers comissioned before 2024.
Best, Heidi from Norway.

Great idea but wouldn’t Frankie be immediately suspicious of a Caleb that has not aged in 20+ years? I mean Aaron Paul is keeping it together pretty well, particularly after his rough lifestyle in ABQ, but… Just the sun alone would take a toll, no?
