I'm surprised this episode hasn't received more attention online. I just finished it, but it's by far the best episode so far of a solid series. A perfect 40 minutes of television. The 'everything is connected' theme is reaching a pinnacle, many of the dialogues are existential in a thoroughly satisfying way, Dirk's character is developing beautifully rather than getting stuck in a formula, the suspense is high, and the emotional highs are ecstatic. The main characters really feel like a team now, and it's happened in a way that's not forced. It's good timing and makes sense with everything they've been through together. Plus, there's a current of 70s & 80s nostalgia in the set designs & mood that manages to stay original without ripping off its inspirations - memories of Star Wars, Labyrinth, and Monty Python's Holy Grail are evoked as the show goes further than ever with its silliness, absurdity, fantasy and comedy in an enjoyable and deftly done way.

Great episode and series in general!

My question: Did I hear a Verdi Requiem sample when "the gang" enters the barn party and discuss their strategy?
