I truly appreciate this episode. Watching the show a second time left me dreading the previous episode before getting there. It weighs heavy and despite acknowledging the significance of what occurred, it still hurts to see two amazing characters go out like that.
This episode is incredibly refreshing and such a welcomed contrast. Especially if one is binge watching the whole series.
This might come off as overthinking it but from a mental health perspective, it's even more important. Seeing something for entertainment worth can still be impactful. For better or worse.
The light hearted nature of the new characters and dialogue helps move the show forward. Even after something so dark.
So, thank you to the writers and creators for placing this here.
