'Falling Skies' Season 5 News, Spoilers: Tom Faces A Tough Dilemma While Son Hal Goes Against His Will

Things are about to get even more interesting as the fifth season of the hit science-fiction TV drama series from TNT, "Falling Skies," forwards this week with an episode which will see Tom (Noah Wyle) making a tough decision. All the while, his son Hal (Drew Roy) opted to disobey his words to save an important person.

The synopsis provided for the segment titled "Hatchlings" indicated that the second Mass will discover the source for a seemingly endless supply of enemy forces. Thanks to his partnership with the Volm, Tom's leadership begins to spread to remaining human militias around the world. The summary, however, points out to an interesting situation in which his son, Hal, rises up against him to help Maggie (Sarah Carter) in a personal mission.

Roy spoke about how his character has grown in the series: from the hotheaded yet obedient teenager to a man who decides for his own.

"I don't think he'll ever be able to give up on (Maggie)," Roy told TV Line, "but he has decided, 'Alright, this is just the new way in life.' Apparently, she's got something for my brother and vice versa. It's above and beyond them, but I love them both so I'm going to have to let this be a part of our relationship.'"

Tom's dilemma will also be highlighted in the segment. It is said that he will be forced to make an agonizing choice which will ultimately risk the life of a minor or major character.
