Good acting and pacing throughout this episode, with a couple of very interesting flashbacks. Hamish Linklater continues to impress as Lincoln.
Stanton is fighting battles on multiple fronts as he tries to push through Lincoln's idea of Reconstruction, but he meets some significant headwinds along the way, including from the President himself. He's still on the hunt for Booth, who is holed up in Maryland, whilst a hotbed of Confederate spies has gathered in Montreal of all places. The search is clearly taking it's toll on Stanton, who is supposed to be on at least a month's worth of bed rest under orders from his doctor due to asthma-related issues and it's fair to say that Mrs Stanton is unimpressed when her husband basically ignores those orders.
