THE FOLLOWING Recap Episode 10 'Guilt' (SPOILERS) Episode 11 Preview Clip 'Whips And Regret' [VIDEO] Reunited and It Feels So ... ?

"The Following" is definitely headed for an explosive finale with only five more episodes left this season, starting with tonight's installment: "Whips and Regret." Last week's "Guilt" brought a lot of issues to head, leaving the FBI in a familiar position: losing. Seriously, nothing has been working for them. Joe Carroll has always had the upper hand and has been ever determined to find his ex-wife, Claire. So what is the next step for Ryan Hardy and how will he deal with the events of "Guilt" in tonight's "Whips and Regret?" (SPOILERS to follow)

Episode 9, "Love Hurts" was left viewers with a sort of cliffhanger as Roderick announced to Joe that they had tracked down Claire. So now two new militia operatives come in to help find Carroll's elusive ex-wife: Vince and Brock. These "followers" were on a different level and actually got to Claire. Luckily Ryan was there, got Claire out, and retreated to an old friend's protected residence. This old friend, Tyson, was prepared for an assault, so they got ready to stand their ground.

Tyson ended up ending Brock's run on the show, but ended up getting shot twice. Roderick and Vince then offered Claire an ultimatum: She could be reunited with Joey but had to go with them. As usual, Claire made a terribly predictable decision and went with them.

Meanwhile, Emma and Jacob are dealing with betrayal and forgiveness, which just mounts into immense tension between the two but allowing for Jacob to become a formidable character in the series. Wouldn't you agree?

So now that Claire is at the compound, do Ryan and the FBI have any chance of getting her out?

Here is a plot summary of tonight's episode thanks to FOX, followed by a preview clip of "Whips and Regret":

"After losing Claire to Joe's followers, Ryan and Parker attempt to recover while the FBI tracks down an undercover location that may have dark ties to Joe's following. Meanwhile, Claire adjusts to life at the follower's mansion and has an unexpected reunion, while Emma and Jacob continue to deal with Emma's betrayal."
