In Episode 9 in the Man in the High Castle, it begins with Juliana and Joe in a holding place, unfortunately, they are being kept for ransom. The resistance is able to free Juliana, but they do not have enough to get Joe. When Juliana gets out, her and Frank end up hiding at Ed's grandfather's house in order to take the bus to leave to the Neutral zone. John is worried about his son but also has to work about Heydrich who seems to be plotting his kill. When he goes to visit Erich, he sees that he is doing better and is worried about the Reich traitors. When he decides to meet with Connolly, he wants to kill him off, so he staged a suicide off the Reich building. Juliana and the resistance are trying to free Joe from the holding place that the Japanese Kempetai put him in, but they are asking for a higher ransom than they are willing to pay, so Juliana has to use the money that Frank got from his forgery sales to get him out. Finally, they have to come up with a plot to get the film, so Joe threatens the Japanese man that was holding the film and knocked him out before running off. At the end scene, we see Heydrich paying a visit to John's house and talking to the family, meanwhile Frank and Juliana are in shock about what they see on the film. Joe is a Reich member and he is scene shooting Frank in the head.
What If:
In this episode, Juliana and Frank are facing the consequences of their actions from episode 8. If Juliana and Frank had decided to leave to the Neutral zone and followed through, they probably would not have been in their stuck situation now. Juliana and Joe are stuck together in a holding place. Since Joe seems to be a traitor to both the Reich and Juliana, it is quite possible that when Juliana comes back for him, he is going to betray her as well. Frank and her may be stuck in the Pacific states permanently because any and all identity checks may be changed, especially with the Japanese trying to pin point a killer for the Crown Prince. John is a strong individual, but could Heydrich actually trap him? If John does make the decision to go with him, there is a chance he could be killed. Not only would this be a brutal loss to his family, but it would also open the doors about Thomas' diagnosis, and Helen may be stuck fending money for her kids while taking care of them. That is if Heydrich doesn't take them down either. Ed is a very supportive friend, and it is sad that he may get in trouble with the enforcement since he is hiding Frank and Juliana at his house. If he is caught, he could possibly be killed. If in episode 8 everyone followed suit, they may not be entangled with the resistance again, and quite possibly Frank and Juliana could have lived normal. lives.
