I am once again NOT getting over how the Unknowing reveals each character's most core instincts by stripping away their rational understanding of context.
Strip away Tim's understanding of the situation, and you see that his anger is bone deep and insatiable. There is genuine hurt and righteous fury there, but he no longer cares where that fury is directed. There's a reason Elias called him a "rogue element."
Strip away Basira's understanding of the situation, and she immediately starts caculating how to function with little to no available info. She relies so heavily on her senses and her own judgement of simple *if x, then y* logic that she doesn't need to understand things in order to navigate them. And she knows this, which gives her the resolve to see it through without second-guessing herself, either.
Strip away Daisy's understanding of the situation, and she is left almost ferally defensive. She doesn't trust anything, and she is so accustomed to operating in situations wherein she has the undeniable upper hand that she is immediately set on the aggressive (akin to an animal attacking out of fear) when she is no longer certain of where she stands. You see a similar, if more subdued, version of this in her interview with Elias when she loses her advantage and starts making more and more desperate death threats the more certain she is that he has one over her.
Finally, Jon. Strip away Jon's understanding of the situation and you find underneath it all the same core that has been there since the beginning of s1: an insecure man who is frightened by the significance of the task placed on him. A man who is desperately searching for some guidance and help. A man who is so intrinsically willing to trust if only there isn't some exterior circumstance causing him to doubt.
