In The Purge season 2 episode 7, titled "Should I Stay or Should I Go," tensions continue to run high as the Purge draws to a close. With only a few hours left before the sirens sound announcing the end of the annual event, characters must make difficult decisions about whether to stay and continue to participate or to flee and seek safety.
The episode focuses primarily on two storylines. The first centers on Jane, a wealthy businesswoman who has spent the Purge season flaunting her wealth and power by throwing a massive party at her mansion. As the night wears on, however, Jane begins to realize that her luxurious lifestyle has left her vulnerable and alone. With her security team mysteriously absent and the partygoers growing increasingly violent, Jane must decide whether to stay and attempt to ride out the chaos or to make a run for it.
The second storyline follows Miguel and Penelope, two siblings who have been on the run from purgers since the start of the Purge. After a harrowing encounter with a group of hunters, Miguel and Penelope seek refuge in a church, where they encounter a group of survivors who have banded together for protection. As Miguel and Penelope struggle to come to terms with the violence and brutality they have witnessed, they must decide whether to stay with the group or to continue on their own.
Throughout the episode, the theme of survival dominates, as characters are forced to make split-second decisions about how best to protect themselves and their loved ones. As the Purge draws to a close and the violence begins to subside, the characters must confront the aftermath of the night's events, and come to terms with what they have done and what they have become.
"Should I Stay or Should I Go" is a tense and gripping episode that delivers on the promise of The Purge franchise. With its strong performances and brutal, uncompromising storytelling, the show continues to explore the darkest corners of human nature and the lengths to which people will go to survive in a world gone mad. For fans of the series, this episode is a must-watch.
