Emily Silk has the best part of this episode. In the meantime, there is a lot of development leading to what feels like the end of the season. I am a bit worried next and last episode will all be about setting a new cliffhanger and one another year of waiting. Anyway, it is a very strong episode.

It certainly seems like Counterpart is preparing us for a series finale. That is fine, but I think there is so much more world to explore.

This was interesting, but the constant flipping of allegiances is too much at this point.

Earlier in the day I was talking with somebody and brought up the old adage "no plan survives contact with the enemy." Yet, once again, we find out that Mira was one step ahead of everybody else and got Ian/Wesley to release her from her cell so she could go and kill all of Management, just as she had planned all a long (and this was after she talked about "flexibility"...

Then they try to create a "cliffhanger" for the season finale. We know she wants the doors closed forever and so the only question is does the final cell release their flu virus before they're stopped? Why not show Mira's orders at the end of the episode?

However, this isn't the say that it was all stupid. The showdown Olivia Williams had with herself was downright masterful, better than the showdown JK Simmons had with himself last season (and really cemented that this season was about her and not Simmons) even if you ignore some of the obvious plot holes (like why are goods exchanged across interface.and not the crossing itself?) and show kept me in suspense the whole time so I'll give a decent score for that.

So far Counterpart was for adults. This episode is for the kids. It's literary impossible for one Intelligence agency to make such mistake that If one link fails, the whole chain is broken. In this case it is the Ian who broke. Mira get imprisoned. They put her in the cage in the room with agent despite the fact they wanted to put a bullet in her head at sight. Which suggest that Management have nothing to hear from Mira and have nothing to tell her neither. Then out of nowhere, deux ex machina: Mira appears on the most secured 4-th floor in the world.With gun. I should see this nonsense comming when she said that she surrenders... Sure. Come and die. Yanek pointed that "the experiment failed". Two worlds can't cooperate. They can only make war. Or compete? Shot, I didn't really expected politics in Counterpart. Those references to "isms" in real life are always bad in movies. Those things polarise viewers. Viewers want to see the story, not a lesson about politics. I really hope that no one wont say a line "let's make our world great again". Or similar shot from RL politics.
