After two successful seasons,the episode could just as easily be celebrating itself as Lizzie's birthday.
Props to the writers for making peace with some of the more jarring arcs:
* Tom, excellently played by Ryan Eggold, is back in the story, and frankly he was missed. Great work by Eggold, effortless going from loving husband to sociopathic killer.
* Red's character has become accepting of the fact that Lizzie's memory is damaged and this puts the viewer at rest also. Since this is the long arc, one does not expect to see it resolved anytime soon
* there was minimal violence in this one (unless you count the involuntary brain surgery and torture) but it moved along and held the interest well
