Fantastic Children Episode 10 - The GED Organisation
Cooks and Alice (who henceforth shall be known as Mulder and Scully) investigate Gherta's home and old laboratory, discovering her bedroom is entirely devoted to Conrad Rugen. After some more snooping around, they find their way into the GED research labs, where not only do they find evidence of their involvement with the aged scientists but of investigation into the Fragment scriptures.
Meanwhile, Gherta faces the board of directors of the GED Organisation, attempting to stall over future OSL experiments despite her hypotheses about the Fragment - however, when the man funding her experiments makes his appearance, it appears that the GED Organisation is really not who she needs to be wary of. Back in the other two storylines, the Children continue to search for Helga, who decides that she cannot stay with Thoma forever - but given the contents of his dreams they may well
Fantastic Children has too many concurrent plotlines for me to make sensible summaries of what's going on - and I've left so much out. Rather surprisingly, I found this week's "oh, woe is me, I have left my family behind!" moment from the Children to be surprisingly touching, compared to the usual histrionics and weirdness I've come to expect from them - at the moment I'm mostly fascinated by the X-Files style storyline that's come to the fore recently - hurry up and make Thoma and co. more interesting, scriptwriters!
Incidentally, I think the show is hammering Gherta's real identity into us with a giant anvil, but I'm saying nothing in case I'm wrong.

It's a great show, I agree. Why it is not popular is anybody's guesses, since I feel that it's SO much better than most in the market right now. <3
