In the aftermath of watching the coma patient killing himself, Nomi and Amanita sit watching the sunrise. This is a moment of dissonance for Nomi because the sunrise is so beautiful yet she is very much haunted by what she experienced in Metzger's apartment the night before. We move right to another moment of dissonance and this time, it's Kala crying at a movie in a theater while her entire family is crying. Kala excuses herself to go to the washroom and it's there that she sees Wolfie. Clearly, Kala is feeling Wolfie's sadness.
Kala and Wolfie move to a hospital in Germany, where Wolfie is sitting by Felix's bedside. Wolfie blames himself for what happened to Felix, saying that he wanted to prove something. This is clearly a reference to Wolfie's daddy issues. Wolfie talks about how he met Felix in detention. Felix was a regular and for Wolfie it was his first time. We learn that Wolfie and Felix used to cut school as kids to watch movies together. As a Russian, Wolfie was the kid everyone hated but Felix always stood by his side. Felix even protected Wolfie from his drunk and abusive father. Wolfie calls Felix his brother "and not by something as accidental as blood but by something much stronger." While this conversation is about Wolfie and Felix, it also speaks to the relationship the Sense8s have to each other. It's something which they cannot define which connects them though they have no blood relationship and come from different places, just like Wolfie and Felix.

Shiro is adamant that Capheus cannot turn over Amindo but Caphues is concerned about the safety of his mother. I'm not surprised at Shiro's bravery in this moment given the bravery she has repeatedly shown.

What has Van Damn done for him that Shiro hasn't?
