I was amazed to see that it currently only has a 7.7/10 on here. It starts very confusing and intriguing, with immediately excellent character work and performances from our two main characters. At certain moments in the episode, I was ready for it to slip into a more classic TZ narrative, which it arguably had the entire time, but it consistently felt peculiar and kept me engaged. Often I feel very invested in the first 85% of a TZ ep and then the twist kind of takes the fire out of it, but the twist comes early enough in this episode that it's not the climax for once. It was quiet and thought-provoking, with the script, acting, and editing being the real standouts.
Excellent start to season 4.
