Eva's Huge Secret is Revealed & a Murder Plot Goes Wrong in Latest Episode of The Ark

As someone who has spent countless hours immersed in the vast and intriguing world of science fiction, I must say that the latest episode of “The Ark” has truly piqued my interest. The revelation that our beloved character, Eva, was once an operative for the Eastern Federation, adds a layer of complexity to her character that I simply can’t get enough of.


It’s evident that whatever the Eastern Federation is hiding, it’s undeniably terrible – incredibly so. The heartbreak on display this week during the biggest spoiler reveal on “The Ark” makes it clear that there’s a deep-seated animosity between the mysterious, sinister Earth-based faction and virtually every other human in space.

“The shocking revelation titled ‘It Can’t Be True’ unfolds in the latest episode of The Ark, available for binge-watching on Peacock (don’t miss out on the first season of SYFY’s popular space series here). In this episode, Captain Sharon Garnet (Christie Burke) and Lieutenant James Brice (Richard Fleeshman) are left reeling by a startling truth that changes everything. This stunning discovery will significantly impact one of the main characters as we delve deeper into Season 2. Despite narrowly escaping death twice this week in a suspicious murder plot on the Ark One, our protagonists are still here to share their story.”

Who survived a botched murder plot on The Ark this week?

Since Dr. Marsh (Jadran Malkovich) and some defectors from Evelyn Maddox’s renegade Ark 15 ship joined Garnet, Lati Meir (played by Coral Mizracki), the enigmatic bio shelter assistant, and Kimi Joma (Díana Bermudez), the security specialist, have been observed lurking around and exchanging furtive looks whenever Ark One’s maintenance chief, Eva Markovic (Tiana Upcheva), is present.

This week, I finally uncovered the reason behind everything, but not without Eva narrowly dodging not one, but two lethal assassination attempts first. With my brother’s recent demise still heavy on my heart, this week has been a whirlwind as I struggled to pull myself together before Kelly Fowler, who possesses superhuman-augmented implants, was seized and forced to break free from her confinement, pursue me, and come dangerously close to choking the life out of me.

Due to a swift life-saving intervention by William Trust (Paul Murray), Kelly manages to break free from her programmed sleeper-agent condition at the last moment, thus allowing Eva to stay alive. However, shortly after this event, Eva’s life is again in peril, this time due to ricin poisoning – a highly unusual method for committing murder given that Ark One isn’t meant to possess such lethal substances.

Angus (Ryan Adams) and Garnet uncover a shocking secret about Ark 15 refugee Lati – she’s been quietly producing ricin by cultivating castor bean plants in Angus’ greenhouse, hidden beneath his gardening shelter. Once she senses the Ark One crew is onto her, Lati flees, concocting an urgent kidnapping plan. She seizes Alicia (Stacey Read) as a hostage, using Kelly as her genetically trained attack dog, and demands that Garnet allow her to leave on the ship’s shuttle.

Garnet and security chief Felix (Pavle Jerinić) arrive at the last moment to liberate Kelly from Lati’s control in the digital world, which not only rescues Alicia but also thwarts Lati’s escape plan. However, instead of a sigh of relief, the episode concludes on an intriguing note as attention shifts suspiciously towards Eva. Why was Lati intent on eliminating Eva? And what vital information about Eva do Lati and Kimi possess that is unknown to everyone else aboard the ship?

After Eva: The Ark (finally!) reveals her dark secret past

Previously this season, an astonishing event unfolded when The Ark allowed viewers to catch Eva discreetly accessing and deleting her official crew profile from the ship’s memory logs. The reason for this covert action has now been revealed: Kimi finally admits to a furious Garnet that she and Lati are undercover agents, sent by the Eastern Federation to locate and apprehend its members. Unbeknownst to all, Eva – who has consistently remained loyal to the Ark One team and built one of the show’s most enduring relationships with Brice – was concealing her own history as a former operative for the Eastern Federation.

In this week’s episode, it was revealed that undercover Eastern Federation hunters were secretly positioned on every ark due to the fear that saboteurs would infiltrate them. As explained by co-showrunner and executive producer Jonathan Glassner during the After the Ark aftershow webcast, our group’s members met their end in the series’ initial accident, but now two more are arriving from Maddox’s ship, carrying on their mission and uncovering some shocking secrets about our crew.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but express my thoughts on an intriguing aspect of this series: “We were all under the impression that we were pursuing justice for Eva!” This is how Kimi and Garnet felt bewildered when they grappled with Lati’s motive to harm Eva instead of apprehending her and unveiling her secret to the crew. Yet, regardless of botched attempts or not, the aftermath is undeniable: Lt. Lane (Reece Ritchie) is enraged at Eva by the end of the episode, Garnet turns cold as ice, and Brice, who’s usually quite tough, sheds actual tears upon discovering Eva’s shocking secret.

Brice and Eva form an endearing solo narrative, as Fleeshman revealed on this week’s “After the Ark.” He explained that their dynamic offers a fresh perspective, allowing him to exhibit a less boisterous side. With Eva, Brice isn’t filled with swagger; instead, he’s like a lovestruck puppy. This change allows us to witness his vulnerability.

Up until now, we haven’t learned much about the Eastern Federation during this season – only that they are not good, they have traveled off Earth and set up in outer space, and they undoubtedly have unique perspectives on the human ark vessels navigating the cosmos to discover a new habitable planet. This week’s episode leaves us hanging as Eva remains silent, and Kimi gives a suspicious smile, hinting at her satisfaction following Eva’s significant fall from grace with Garnet, Brice, and the rest of the Ark One crew.

This week on “The Ark,” Eva’s central murder mystery dominated the narrative, but there were also numerous hints dropped that will undoubtedly be explored in future episodes. Angus and Alicia nearly progressed their relationship (though Angus’ sudden illness interrupted things), while Dr. Kabir (played by Shalini Peiris) unveiled some significant emotional wounds that cause her to maintain distance, even from Dr. Marsh’s kind advances. In another development, Lane appears to be accepting Ian, his recently discovered clone, after Ian disclosed troubling details about Earth’s cloning program, specifically its focus on organ harvesting as their primary purpose.

1. Will Eva manage to restore Brice’s trust in her? Can Garnet ever rely on her again? Has Kelly broken free from the cruel destiny of being controlled like a programmed space-age assassin? Are Lane and his newly discovered clone settling their differences in space? And is the Eastern Federation becoming the greatest remaining menace for mankind in the cosmos?

It’s possible that Eva could provide the solution to the Eastern Federation dilemma we’ve been wondering about… We’ll find out for certain when The Ark resumes in the next week.
