The future narratives have been more interesting in previous episodes, and the momentum slows down when we return to the present. It's reassuring that the program can spend time in the present without making it seem pointless.
The Peripheral Episode 5 Recap
This is evidence that Flynne and Burton and the future are more closely related than we are currently being led to think. The Peripheral is doing an excellent job of subtly revealing Flynne and Burton's connections to the future.

The Peripheral Episode 5 Recap – The Plot
Under The Peripheral, Flynne's life is still in danger, but the Fishers were able to stop another attack. The murderer Bob, who was employed by the Robotic Daniel eventually, was shown attempting to kill Flynne in The Peripheral Season 1 Episode 5.
We saw a flashback of Aelita and Grace's romance as well as a tense argument between Flynne and someone within The Peripheral.
Also, we can identify with Aelita a little better now, and we want her to be successful in whatever plan she has up her sleeve to hopefully put an end to the RI's interference with stubs.
The incredibly horrible eye surgery sequence serves as evidence of how intense and wicked her tactics are, but at least we know she's trying to prevent something worse from happening.
Everything that matters is set up in these brief moments. Who these characters become and what path they are set on begins here. No matter how much we may want to change our future, fate has a way of balancing the equation. The Peripheral Episode 5 puts all the pieces in place for the remainder of the season. The R. I.’s experimentation on Burton and his squad makes them formidable foes.
A charming interaction between Tommy and Flynne exemplifies what makes this program so effective. The Peripheral Episode 5 intertwined tremendous bursts of action with genuine heartfelt moments that reminded us why we're all fighting.
Despite their perceived shortcomings, kindness, compassion, and empathy are all great attributes. It makes Burton and Tommy even more motivated to protect Flynne, as well as Flynne even more determined. Her mother's wise comments ring true. Melinda Page Hamilton (Ella Fisher) shines in a brief but crucial scene.
She warns Flynne that power dynamics are always an issue. Her medication has a cost. Dependence is risky. Flynne is bruising for answers and a fight after the most recent attack.
