Given the chunk of story that was thrown onto our plates during the premiere episodes, it shows that the series knows how to break up their episodes across their airing dates. The characters go from the beginning to a pivotal point in their arch of the season overall.
This next episode shows these characters demonstrating their agitation for everything that’s happened. Everyone gives stellar performances ranging from coping, vengeance, outrage, release, all hitting a sort of rock-bottom in general.
Everyone does slowly start to pick themselves back up, and in doing so they go back to their roots, as in what defines them as well as their dynamics with other characters. In doing so, they tend to reveal a lot about each other on the adventure this episode takes them on: some for the better and good, but others for the worse and damning, as this series goes. Such big acts fueled by everything that’s come before create immense shifts.
The editing of this episode brews a mystery that keeps us gripped as we keep returning to it randomly throughout the episode, and its resolution, at least for the point this character arc is at in this episode, brings about curiosity of how image is going to evolve for particular characters.
Speaking of image, the episode brings into question a particular character that has more depth than we realize, and when juxtaposed with a character we’ve been with from the beginning—and they come to blows—it becomes curious how this all-powerful character will change like we’ve never seen them do before.
