Lazarus Episode 8: Chris Gets Kidnapped—Recap, Release Date, Where To Stream And More
Lazarus Episode 8 will see Chris get captured by the Russian special forces, so don’t miss it to see the team begin a rescue mission. Get the release date, recap, and more here.
In ‘Almost Blue,’ the Lazarus team identifies four submerged island locations once owned by Skinner—near Manila Bay, the Maldives, the Sakishima Islands, and Tuvalu. Each location had residents with a rare condition that made them immune to pain.
Skinner had bought the islands and funded the residents’ relocation. While the team investigates separately, Eleina discovers Hersch previously worked under Skinner at the Hague Institute. Meanwhile, Hersch meets with Abel, who hints that Skinner wants to be discovered. In Fiji, Chris is recognized by a woman calling her “Alexandra.”

Lazarus Episode 8 will see Chris go missing, believed to be held captive at an abandoned Arctic oil rig. Defying Hersch’s objections, the Lazarus team will initiate a rescue operation. Chris, meanwhile, will be revealed to have been kidnapped by Russian special forces.
Their commander, Inga, will share a personal history with her. With assistance from Eleina, who operates from a Norwegian observatory, the team will infiltrate the oil facility. However, they will soon face overwhelming resistance from Russian agents, placing them in a dire and dangerous confrontation.
