At Any Given Moment – Episode 2 of Rabbit Hole continues the intrigue and suspense from the pilot, diving deeper into the mystery surrounding John Weir (Kiefer Sutherland) and his connection to the enigmatic organization known as Valence.
The episode begins with a flashback to John’s childhood, as he remembers his father (Charles Dance) quizzing him on the cities along Route 66 before they sit down to play chess. It’s a seemingly innocuous scene, but as we soon learn, John’s memories of his father are complicated by his mysterious death, which continues to haunt him in the present.
Back in the present day, John saves Hailey (Meta Golding) from two men who attempt to kidnap her outside her hotel. He takes her to his safe house, where he retrieves bags of money and a laptop. John still suspects Hailey of being involved with Valence, but when she shows him his dating app profile, he realizes that his colleagues set him up on the app without his knowledge.
Meanwhile, Jo Madi (Enid Graham) is investigating the explosion that occurred in the pilot episode and discovers that John’s former colleague, Edward Homm (Rob Yang), was involved. John confronts Valence’s second-in-command, Xander, and learns that the pictures he showed Valence were more than just a handshake between Homm and a woman; one of the photos was of Homm dead with a bullet in his head. Xander refuses to reveal who hired the hit on Homm.
To gain access to Valence’s data, John steals Valence’s authenticator key from the police station. He is pursued by a detective and Madi, who are locked in the station by John’s intern. When the intern attacks John to get the authenticator key, Hailey hits him with Weir’s car, allowing John to escape with the key.
When John and Hailey return to his safe house, they are surprised to find an older man waiting for them who is revealed to be John’s father, who was thought to be dead.
