This episode had some pretty decent levels of suspense as you wonder what will happen to the sister. It has a unique feel of creepy potential for violence as nobody wants to tied up, in a torture room, with a violent angry ex waiting to know what's going to happen next. It's nice though that our abusive relationship victim has agency, chooses not to give in to the fear/his control and maintains her dignity. It's a great message/role model for young women.
On the Matron of the Saints storyline, it was pretty lame. They apparently go around branding men with the words pig onto their foreheads if they hurt women and enact vigilante justice which upsets the strong business woman stereotype so much, she grabs the car keys of the branded man and proceeds to walk out of the apartment.
The unrealistic part of this premise lies in, she has been attacked already and doesn't think to grab a knife, a weapon or anything to defend herself. Earlier, she grabbed a hammer the last time going onto the street but this time she decides to just go unarmed. She makes it to the car uneventfully and encounters nobody in either the staircase or the parking complex. Yet hears noises in the distance. What if she'd encountered someone? How would she have defended herself?
The NFFA party scene where it's getting overtaken by the revolution was quite interesting. It's been building in the earlier movies and was a nice pay off. However, with many of the rich people and government figureheads killed, it does lead to the question of what will happen to the government following purge night? In the event that, it happened in real life, after the president is dead, it's the vice president, then the secretary of the state, etc etc and it goes down several levels until you eventually reach speaker of the house.
The only part I found was somewhat unrealistic was the purge "carnival". It seems like it is a poor person's "rich person purge party" where one goes to live out a fantasy without the risk of getting killed due to being in a safe protected area where you're the client/customer.
However, why do people pay money for something which they could get for free? I presume it is the protection aspect. Otherwise, why would you need the carnival to live out your fantasy? Yet, people are walking around with weapons and guns inside. None of the guards in the red t-shirts are armed with anything but cattle prods. Some don't even have a club or sword like the bouncer managing the cages. What's to keep order inside the carnival when patrons and customers are walking around with guns, knives, etc? What is to prevent people from killing eachother inside or guards? After all, the clientele is psychopaths.
