Dane has some serious acting chops. I always knew he was a solid actor, but this guy can stretch, move, ebb and flow ... and make it all seem very natural. Lots of closeups on Dane, and cameras are funny things. They pick up insincerity, and inauthenticity in a second. In a closeup you can be acting, you have to be. Cal is seriously losing it and Dane really delivers. This was not an easy episode for any of the actors by any means, with so much going on.
Sam Levinson exerts superb artistry in this episode with visual effects and sound .. that seamlessly blend into the actors moves, lines and motivations. The guy is such a pro, and having worked in the business there's never, ever enough time to think and you have to make big decisions very fast.
All of the subplots are on the edge of falling off a cliff. I've always believed the sign of a good writer is to leave the audience thinking, "Oh my god, how can this possibly be resolved? Where can this possibly go?" I have no clue how this can possibly end, and I love it.
