I would have given this the average "I enjoyed it" 8, but gave it the extra point to a 9 because, instead of the show being another seemingly self-contained episode, it turned into a very good one and had some arc storyline taken care of! Always a plus for me. Finally, from all the way back when in the last episode of season 1, when Johnny and Sara did something that may be against one of the 10 commandments (and it wasn't going on a taking-God's-name-in-vain spree) Walt finds a reason in this episode to confront Johnny and Sara separately about the situation. The way all three of them handle the knowledge that he knows what they did last summer is very well written and almost even managed to tie in with the current plot. Of course, again, the main plot featured another cast of guest characters that won't be brought back ever again even though they had a huge part on a main character's life. Once again, I'm dealing. Great story, and with these old friends of Walts: Vic, Frankie, and Jeremy, it seems like they were trying to turn these Mainers into Brooklyn, New Yorkers. I'm cool with that. I am not against, and even like, the variety of TV and film genres DZ puts into their episodes. In this case there was a hint of mafioso "where's the money" "I don't know what you're talking about, man," "yo, man, we've been friends fo'eve' but you betta be getting' that money," jive and that was a cool way to establish Walt's background. PLus, the story that comes out about him makes us not feel too bad for him anymore for what happened back late in season one, but at the same time he still manages to keep his cred of being a good guy. Hats off to the writers for pulling that one off. The only thing he shares with Disney is a first name, but he's still a good guy. Good episode that tied a loose end. Of course, Sara's look in her response to Walt after being confronted probably didn't tie the end as tight as the characters wanted it to be tied, but that just leaves more fun stories ahead for Days of Our Zone. Nice work!
