**The Last Frontier Season 1 Episode 4 Recap and Insights**

In **The Last Frontier** season 1 episode 4, the chaos continues as fugitives remain on the loose, and Frank Remnick struggles to contain the situation, striving to prevent any further victims. While Frank is focused on the bigger picture—protecting the town of Fairbanks from escaped convicts and the elusive Havlock—his family unknowingly falls into grave danger.
### Luke and Kira’s Hostage Ordeal
Luke and Kira are held hostage by one of the escapees, Romero, and Frank remains unaware of their peril. However, Luke proves that he is not completely helpless and orchestrates a daring escape involving a car crash.
In a gutsy move, Luke signals Kira to fasten her seatbelt before unfastening Romero’s. He then crashes the car into a pile of snow, causing it to flip. While the intense crash leaves viewers on edge, Luke and Kira survive the ordeal. Luke had hoped that not wearing a seatbelt would fatally injure Romero in the crash. Although Romero is ejected from the vehicle, injured and limping, he is still very much alive and threatening.
After the crash, Luke sends Kira to seek help. Meanwhile, he retrieves a gun and aims it at Romero, though he ultimately hesitates and flees into the nearby woods rather than confronting the fugitive. Despite Luke’s courage, danger continues to loom as Romero pursues him relentlessly.
### The Fugitive Network and Havlock’s Infiltration
Romero is accompanied by another prisoner, Van Horn, who aims to escape to Canada. The police apprehend Van Horn following a tip-off, but this capture is only a piece of a larger puzzle.
Frank and Sidney, desperate for leads on Van Horn and Havlock, do not hesitate when Van Horn requests a deal in exchange for information. Though she faces only a few months remaining on her sentence, Van Horn wants immunity from further charges. Frank and Sidney agree, recognizing the value of any intelligence that can bring Havlock to justice.
Interestingly, Van Horn is quite wealthy, having stolen millions from Van Horn during their time on the run. It is revealed that she was the one who tipped off the authorities, leading to her capture and subsequent plea deal.
### Who Is Vincent Thiago and His Connection to Havlock?
One of the most critical developments in episode 4 involves Vincent Thiago, a man linked to Havlock.
Havlock does not yet possess the hard drive containing **Archive 6**, but tension escalates as Frank and Sidney race to intercept the courier transporting it. Sidney receives a tip-off about Zhdenko and a suspicious courier arriving from Russia. After analyzing flight manifests, they identify Thiago as the most suspicious arrival among several men who came from Russia to Alaska.
Unfortunately, this intel arrives too late—Thiago has already landed in Alaska prior to the car crash and concealed the hard drive in an inconspicuous location.
### Episode 4 Ends on a Dramatic Cliffhanger
The episode concludes with the unsettling realization that things are unraveling quickly. Havlock remains several steps ahead, leaving Frank and Sidney scrambling desperately to stop his plans. The stakes are higher than ever as the race against time intensifies.
