The positive notes didn't last long in this episode (i.e. illegal to attack "green eyed" synths). Sam brought a breath of fresh air to the family, with the help of Sophie and the rest of family. However, by the end of the episode darkness overshadowed the Hawkins family, Mia, Max and the other synths at the Rail yard.

Having not seen the last two episodes or read any spoilers, I'm hoping for something positive to happen by the end of this season. Wondering about the green-eyed synths in hiding, found by Mia when she delivered a package to the proper person. Will they become a force for right? And was Sam's wish to resurrect Karen (his mom) more than just a child's emotional words?

The critic review linked here to Louisa Mellor of "Den of Geek" echoes the majority of my feelings about this episode and the third season to this point.

If you watched The IT Crowd you know that Katherine Parkinson can be entertaining, but this was probably her best acting yet. Great performance as Laura struggled with a Sophie's Choice and then realized that she would in fact pick a human over a synth if forced to, obviously devastating given the work she has done.

With just a few episodes left this was a strong hour setting things up fro a good finale.

Why is Laura suddenly this weak and hypocrite after so many things that she has done??? Or does the writer just want to show us that all human kinds are so weak and don't actually believe in equality??? I don't understand it anymore.

After the annoying recap, we get a recitation by Laura about how every minority group in history has had a problem in gaining equality. Something is also going on with NISKA, and she is having small visions of her own.

Max and Anton look over a glitching synth and talk about Anita speaking up for their rights. Leo and Mattie go to the Elster House. Leo begins to experience memories.

Laura gets the flaming bag of poop prank on her doorstep. Some protestors are out there getting ready to rough Laura up. Stanley intervenes. Stanley administers a beating to all of them. But it is at this point Laura recognizes that Stanley is more than he appears to be. Stanley denies it. But Laura sees that Stanley is 'aware' and forces him to reveal it.

+1 Star for how Laura forces Stanley's hand, and the way it was filmed and revealed. Haha

At this 2pm Dryden meeting, Stanley and his allies are supposed to kill all the commission. Agnes and all her allies are supposed to cause mass mayhem all at the same time. Stanley however, does not carry out his assignment.

I love how Laura still talks to Sam like he's a kid, even tho he's probably already amassed more knowledge than 10 Lauras. Anton shows up at Laura's house to force a choice to be made by Laura. A really bogus choice.

6/10

Laura would never have made that choice. It was added for the sake of drama and it was the lazy way out.
