In the season premiere of The Strain Season 2, we find that Abraham is still on the hunt for The Master, while Eph and Nora may have come up with a new plan for a cure. We have new photos from episode 202 that don't give much away, but show progress being made on both fronts. With that being said, I have a hunch that it's not going to be as easy as it looks...

"As the second season unfolds, the transformation has begun. It can no longer be denied — New York City is rapidly falling to an evil epidemic, and no one is coming to its rescue. Its citizens must fight or die. Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll) and his unlikely allies tried to take down the embodiment of this evil — the Master — and failed. Now Eph and Dr. Nora Martinez (Mia Maestro) concentrate on creating a biological weapon to wipe out the creatures, while Abraham Setrakian (David Bradley) searches for an ancient book he hopes will reveal the strigoi’s entire history...and possibly a way to kill them. Meanwhile, the Master is out for revenge, unleashing new and even more terrifying breeds of bloodthirsty creatures after our team. Our team must find a way to defeat him before the infection spreads too far and becomes irreparable … before they become monsters themselves."

Episode 202 is titled “By Any Means” and will air on July 19th.
