What You Need To Know:

In BLUE SKIES episode 102, park ranger Jodi and her crew are alerted to the presence of an escaped convict, Daniel Cross, in the park. They team up with the U.S. Marshal who was transporting him through the park, but as they get closer to finding Cross, the rangers begin to suspect something is up with the Marshal’s story — but will they find out the truth before it’s too late? BLUE SKIES has a high production value, with fun performances from the cast and beautiful shooting locations. The episode’s central mystery is compelling but a bit predictable, so true fans of mystery genres might feel unsatisfied.

BLUE SKIES episode 102 has a moral worldview, with its characters focused on justice and doing the right thing. As is the case with UP Faith & Family shows, it is almost squeaky clean and includes very mild peril. There are some scenes of thematic violence, a fistfight and a character falling from a mountain ledge, as well as some immorality, such as lying and threatening others, but otherwise BLUE SKIES features no objectionable content. MOVIEGUIDE® advises media-wisdom when parents watch and discuss the episode with their children.

More Detail:

In the second episode of Season One of BLUE SKIES, streaming on UP Faith & Family, viewers get an action-packed story, full of mystery and double-crosses as park ranger Jodi Larsen works to find an escaped convict — and figure out if he’s really guilty.

When Jodi shows up for work, she and the rest of the rangers are informed that, during a routine transfer, convict Daniel Cross escaped the custody of U.S. Marshal Erin Vaughn and is now on the loose in the park.

The group splits up: some rangers canvass the area and talk to campers to figure out where Cross might have gone, while Jodi and Erin investigate Cross’s trail. They track him to an isolated area of the park with no cell service.

However, when Jodi crosses paths with Cross, he tells her something that causes her to suspect Erin’s story of the escape might not be 100% correct. Will she and the rest of the rangers figure out the mystery behind Cross’s escape before it’s too late?
