Number 5 talk about the apocalypse. He is explained his past or their future. We learn he was not alone. There were his former employer. The Lady made a deal and he started to job that he is a hitman. By the way some part of the show which refer to Number 5s' hitman past seen simple and slipshod. But when I look at first 4 chapter, understand the director is especially shooting like that. Also referring assassination of Jfk is remarkable. Diego lost his ex-girlfriend and out of control. Still try to dosome plans. Klaus is accidentally travel to time and jump into 1968. When he came back he was miserable. Not exactly understand what is Vanyas' power. Number 5 make another deal with The Lady the cost is he will back to his hitman job. But his family will be safe. Also Leonard still keeps his mystery. Pogo start-up the mother. He and she keep secret but we don' t have any clue yet. In the end. The show has remarkable music choices and they are perfectly fit the chapters. Exactly the last song is lovely.

This is a confusing one.

On the one hand, this episode combines a lot of fun storylines and the plot is finally driven forward - I found the last two episodes a bit tedious in this regard. So we have some nice character development between several of the siblings and we learn more about their relationships, also I especially like the assassins and donut girl.

On the other hand, there is a lot of stupid stuff happening as well.

Most annoyingly, Vanya not being the least bit suspicious of Leonard and just blaming Allison is just a really lazy and worn out trope, seen countless times and it's just bull. Klaus destroying the suitcase is just as dumb - right after it teleporting him into a different time, how would anyone immerdiately destroy the device that potentially can get you back. Just because he's "angry"? Makes no sense.

Still, I am looking forward to the next episode, and not a lot of Netflix' recent series have hooked me longer than the first 3-4 episodes, so that's a good thing!
