This was a great season premiere that only touched on some of the darker aspects to come. Vanessa Redgrave is simply perfect as Erica, and the episode as a whole was excellent. The plot line with Sean and his problems with operations was very good indeed, and the musical montages continue to be nothing short of brilliant. The subplot between the woman and her gay best friend was also very interesting, and it had a depressing payoff. Overall, this was a great episode with plenty of foreshadowing and perfect performances (as always). However, for some reason this show often brings in subplots and just never touches them again. This episode isn't one of the worst culprits, but I didn't like how there was absolutely no mention of Escobar whatsoever.
