"My whole life is a lie." - You could say that again. Tonight's episode once again turned everything on its head as we delved further into David's mind and discovered that some of what we've seen over the first couple of weeks may not have been real at all.

Next week, David will face a new challenge as he takes a "fun" trip to go rescue his sister Amy. Meanwhile, it looks like Syd, Melanie, and the team will continue their attempts at unlocking David's secrets.

Check out the new promo for "Chapter 5" below:

"Chapter 5" (Airs March 8, 10:00 pm e/p) - David faces a new threat. Written by Peter Calloway; directed by Tim Mielants.

Legion, based on the Marvel Comics by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz, is the story of David Haller (Dan Stevens) – a troubled young man who may be more than human.

Diagnosed as schizophrenic as a child, David has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. Now in his early 30s and institutionalized once again, David loses himself in the rhythm of the structured regimen of life in the hospital: breakfast, lunch, dinner, therapy, medications, sleep. David spends the rest of his time in companionable silence alongside his chatterbox friend Lenny (Aubrey Plaza), a fellow patient whose life-long drug and alcohol addiction has done nothing to quell her boundless optimism that her luck is about to change. The pleasant numbness of David’s routine is completely upended with the arrival of a beautiful and troubled new patient named Syd (Rachel Keller). Inexplicably drawn to one another, David and Syd share a startling encounter, after which he must confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees are the result of him being a mutant.

A haunted man, David escapes from the hospital and seeks shelter with his sister Amy (Katie Aselton). But Amy’s concern for her brother is trumped by her desire to protect the picture perfect suburban life she’s built for herself. Eventually, Syd guides David to Melanie Bird (Jean Smart), a nurturing but demanding therapist with a sharp mind and unconventional methods. She and her team of specialists – Ptonomy (Jeremie Harris), Kerry (Amber Midthunder) and Cary (Bill Irwin) – open David’s eyes to an extraordinary new world of possibilities.

Great episode here. It introduced a slew of new elements at play, set up interesting premises, and once again took the characters in an unexpected direction in terms of characterization and story.
