There are two things that stand out in this episode. First is the brilliant and award winning performance of Meat Loaf. To say he outperformed every actor is an understatement. This was his episode, and he owned it. Second, is the obvious change of director. Unlike previous episodes the director centered the camera in the action, and most importantly move the camera and the viewer into the action. The camera is placed in such a position that we can clearly see the actors deliver their performance. If this director had been on set for the previous episodes, then the series would be doing far better.
The story provides a strong story for those that love ghost stories, and family stories. We get a strong look into Meat Loafs character. We see the turning point in Romans desire to stay outside of the community as Meat Loafs character, while being true to the character, is redeemed in a way. More importantly, the viewer now fully understands who the character is. If you are a person who walked away from the show, or know someone who has walked away, this is the episode to share with them.
