The Big Picture Only three episodes into FX's new historical epic Shōgun, much has already happened to our intrepid English Pilot-Major John Blackthorne since the Erasmus first found its way to the shores of Japan. Although Blackthorne would prefer nothing more than to retrieve his ship and his crew and turn tail for home, he's been pulled into a brewing war the likes of which he couldn't have anticipated.
But the vassal isn't the only one who finds himself met with disappointment — when Blackthorne attempts to head out to his ship to collect some desired supplies, including his trusty pistols, Mariko finds herself in a position to inform him that he'll need Toranaga's permission to board the Erasmus.
The lighting of the scene makes it difficult to decipher the face of the woman who slips into his room and rouses him before beginning to undress in his presence — but both we, and Blackthorne, are led to believe it's Mariko, as the two kiss before tumbling out of frame and everything fades to black. The next morning is a rainy one, but you wouldn't know it based on Blackthorne's sunny mood.
This week, Yabushige's master plan manifests as promising his army to Toranaga for his ultimate plan while realizing that having a fully trained set of samurai will only actually benefit him in the long run.
