Maggie's Mythical Moment
7 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Don't want to ruin it if you haven't seen it, but this is a top five pick for me.

Maggie gets an fairytale reprieve from her 'cursed' romantic past and her constant frustration. One of the best twists in her arc.

Joel has a reversed reveal, reconnecting with part of his past he needed to appreciate the present more fully.

A new intermittently recurring character (Marylin's cousin, the healer) is introduced.

The rest of basically background but there are no missteps.

I could wish that another new character would return in future episodes, but this is not the first time I've felt strongly for a character we would not see again.

One of the best of the magical realism episodes.
