History Recap / Sense8S2E03ObligateMutualisms

* ChekhovsGunman: The painter out of focus when Will enters the Rijksmuseum turns up immediately after Will and Croome shake hands to stab Croome in the neck.

->'''Croome''': ''An incredible woman. One of the great scientific minds of our time. She believed sapiens and sensorium to be obligate mutualisms, dependent on one another for survival. BPO was founded by her and dedicated to her vision of natural and ethical balance.''
->'''Riley''': ''That doesn't sound like the same organization we know from Iceland.''
->'''Croome''': ''No.''

* TitleDrop: Croome uses the term to describe how ''Homo sapiens'' and ''Homo sensorium'' affect each other. In other words, they have a symbiotic relationship.

The tables have turned on Whispers, with his superior Croome acknowledging his status as a liability and agreeing to the cluster's demands to put him on ice. With the threat of Whispers neutralized (for now), the cluster shares a heartwarming moment celebrating Will's freedom in the Amsterdam afternoon. Inspired by this moment, Lito meets with his management in a good mood, only to be told that he's been removed from his latest project due to implied homophobia. His management remains optimistic, though, and sends him off with a bunch of new scripts.

Amanita and Nomi are ready for a "normal" night on the town, only to be interrupted by a worried Sun -- she's been led out of her room by three guards, and she fears they will kill her. Will quickly deduces that they aren't really guards, and Nomi, with her eye on the building, warns her not to enter the room they're leading her towards. Despite her best efforts, Sun is dragged in anyway, and she's electrocuted and nearly hanged before her cellmate, the elderly Min-jung, who had followed them out of concern, impales the man pulling up the noose. With the help of her cluster, Sun takes out the guards and escapes the prison. Min-jung informs her that she has a trusted friend who lives nearby, and the two head there.

Wolfgang and Felix meet with Fuchs over the negotiation of the club he had promised to Felix. He introduces them to Lila, his right-hand woman -- who, as it turns out, is a sensate, and is quick to use PowerPerversionPotential on Wolfgang.

Lito, Hernando, and Daniela are apartment-hunting, but Lito and Hernando worry about budgetary constraints now that the proverbial acting train has slowed. Hernando is insecure that he's not pulling his weight financially, but Lito assures him that it'll be all right as long as they are doing what they love. Daniela, who's also enamored by the apartment (specifically the tub), offers to split the rent with them to make it affordable, and the couple agrees.

Will manages to make contact with Jonas, who's still strapped to a hospital bed. Jonas discusses meeting his sensate father and his later passing of cancer. He tells the cluster that there could be as many as tens of thousands of sensates in the world, and that people are genetically inclined to becoming them. Jonas explains a bit about his cluster, of which he is the "last." Jonas also tells the story of the first cluster Angelica gave birth to, who disappeared one by one. One of them, Raoul Pasquale, was a reporter who once interviewed Lito. Upon his disappearance, Angelica went to Chicago to search for him, where she allegedly met Whispers.

Sun and Min-jung make it to Mrs. Cho's place, who happily takes them in. Mrs. Cho, as it turns out, got involved in drug smuggling to pay her late husband's debts.

In front of Rembrandt's "The Night Watch" at the Rijksmuseum, Will meets with Croome, who says he thinks that the ''Homo sapiens'' benefit from the ''H. sensorium'', and vice versa -- a view shared by the original founder of [=BPO=]. He explains that the end of the Cold War and the start of the War on Terror turned the world on threats and secrecy, but he and a certain few people within [=BPO=] want to change the organization's direction. Too bad, though, because Whispers uses a painter present at the museum to get rid of him.

* TitleDrop: Croome uses the term to describe how Homo Sapiens and Homo Sensorum affect each other. In other words, they have a symbiotic relationship.
