Just as Pope's rage has taken him from mere antagonist to outright villain, Tom's fierce desire to take down the Espheni will cause him to take major risks with his family.

"As we get towards the end of the series, there definitely becomes for Ben this position where we're building towards the obvious climax and he has the ability to get information and stuff that other characters can't - but obviously at personal cost to himself and personal danger," Jessup told Enstarz at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday. "This is the kind of stuff where, in the past, Tom would have been like, 'You can't do that. It's not worth risking you life.' Now it's totally flipped; he's the one pushing for it."
