Only 7.5, really? This episode is perfect. The stories are great and perfectly balanced with each other.
The ones that I want to highlight are those of Alex and Hiley. Finally in a long time it feels like the characters are growing and moving somewhere, something that was missing in the series. I cannot speak for how the characters develop in the following episodes since I have not seen them, but this shows a step in the right direction in terms of development growth.
