While it’s too early to disect the episode at length here on the site (but if you do want to hear us discuss Episode 5 ‘Night‘ then tune in to Making Tracks Reaction Chat later this evening), star Manny Jacinto has opened up about his role in the show over at Entertainment Weekly, going in-depth about this weeks shocking episode and the ramifications of what we just saw.

“I’ve been lying to people for the last two years — to their faces,” he confesses. “Some of them, they straight up call me out and they’re like, ‘I don’t trust what you’re saying.’ Some of them believe me. But I’ve been lying, and it gives me a lot of anxiety, having to lie to people.”

“I mean, right now I’m tingling,” he says, smiling. “Just because this is the first time that I’m actually able to talk about it.”

There’s a LOT happening in this episode, a real game-changer in terms of how we view the battles of light and dark. Stay tuned to Fantha Tracks, check out our Guide to Episode 5 ‘Night’ and go watch that magnificent episode again.
