With just two more episodes until the midseason finale, Haven is securely in plot-setup land. As has been the case in every season of Haven, it’s a struggle to get through these last few episodes before the eventual finale payoff.
“Mortality” lacked the quirk and charm of Haven,
instead drilling information into our faces that will inevitably solve
all of the troubles in the next three weeks. But fans of Haven
know that whatever is in store for us at the end of this season will
make tedious episodes like “Mortality” worth it, so we carry on.
The town is terrified of the trouble-targeting contagion and is still
firmly in quarantine. Rebecca and Stan are fiercely guarding the only
exit out of town. Well, Rebecca is guarding it fiercely; Stan is taking
bribes. Audrey tries to get out of Haven, but she is stopped. Luckily,
Nathan pulls up and is able to talk Audrey’s way through the barricade.
That man could talk his way out of anything. It’s the way he walks. Nathan Wuornos melts even the coldest hearts.

There better be a big shade of gray moment coming up.
On Haven Season 5 Episode 10 Dwight
decided to share with Charlotte the mystery of the Troubles. His motive
was pure in doing so, with the belief that a potential DNA marker (that
Pete didn't dispel) could mean the end to the Troubles.
Discovering Charlotte is not who she said she was took the wind out of
the sails what could have been an interesting plot and a potential happy
series ending.
It's no wonder Havenites are suspicious of everyone all the time. The
thing is, I don't buy it. It is completely unrealistic that every single
person who learns of the Troubles is on the side of evil or in it for
personal gain.
What we know is Charlotte is not with the CDC. The pesky previews
appeal to the evil in her with Vince's anger that Dwight dared to
confide in an outsider. A silver lining could still be uncovered. She
may not be from the CDC, but also not out to harm anyone and truly
interested in finding out why Haven is plagued with Troubles, as well as
creating a means to cure them.
