The stakes for Halle Berry and Jeffrey Dean Morgan's characters on "Extant" Season 2 keep getting bigger and bigger.

Episode 8 is titled "Arms and the Humanich" and will air on CBS next Wednesday, Aug. 12 at 8 p.m. EDT, according to TV Guide.

What has become quite clear is Season 2 of this hit sci-fi drama on CBS is that no one is off limits, which includes the main character's Molly (Berry) and JD's (Morgan) children. That means the hybrid and human children alike are at risk.

According to Spoilers Guide, the fallout from the last episode puts government factions at odds with the ultimate goal of diplomacy between the two species that cannot seem to reach a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Under the guise of security issues, the Global Security Commission will raid a hybrid compound and things go from bad to worse for Molly. Her desperation at this point is the paramount driving factor for her new mission, which is to save her son Adhu.

But rescuing him will prove to be both daunting and perilous to both and might be a futile effort -- even with the help of JD.

JD also has his own to worry about in the process. His daughter has been officially held captive by General Tobias Shepherd (David Morrissey) and he is in the same boat as Molly, just in a different situation.

Parents will do anything they can for the children they love and Molly and JD alike will both have to mount their own rescue efforts and afford each other the flexibility to achieve the same goal on both ends of the battle.

To make things even more complicated, Lucy has now become a major threat to humans and that storyline might not have a happy ending, especially when fans of the show don't know who to cheer for.
