For the first half nothing exceptional happens. It just sort of moves along casually, as if it's marking time.--Time. Huh.--Ahhh, but it's a deception! What it's actually doing is carefully setting up the blocks that it intends to knock down. Big, huge, major things happen in the second half. Each one topping the next. Characters are hurt, characters die, and identities are revealed. My arms are sore from picking my jaw up off of the floor. But, is it a cheat? You see, there's a time travel aspect to this episode and by the end you're left wondering if any of it will actually happen. Or did happen... I dunno, I should've paid more attention in physics.
If all of this is eventually wiped out in the next episode I am going to retroactively downgrade this one point. But regardless, this was still an exceptionally compelling slice of television, and perhaps the best episode yet depending on the outcome.
