Episode 13 is about average for the series, maybe a notch above the other episodes. Even though there is an important development in the "outside the heist" part of the story, the series could continue in a way that the discovery is not going to change the whole game. As for the "inside the heist", there is just a subplot added that is not too different from the comings and goings of the relationship between hostages and captors. One may even argue episode 12, with the escape, was more climatic.
There is a limited revelation about the background of the Professor and Berlin that could be a great whetting of our appetites for season 2. The problem is, it makes one previous decision by the Professor even more hard to swallow then it already was. And besides, in a flashback scene, the two solve a crucial impasse between them by... singing a song (the one that gives the title of the episode). That will do it. Remember their previous moment of tension, mid-season? They solved by launching "Plan Valencia", which was not only pointless in itself, but unrelated to the sticking point.
Another scene between the Professor and an old woman is well executed, and could be thrilling... if we did not know exactly how it would turn out from the beginning.
We are left with a craving for season 2, as we should, but not because the season finale gave us so much, but because the series has a lot more to give, and I trust it will!
