After the rough patch that was the premiere, not gonna lie, I was worried. But after watching it once live and afterwards, this episode is definitely a huge step-up, and honestly one of the best episodes the show has done. The pacing here is slower, but it works so well it's kinda insane. The new characters are a whole lot of fun, the tone balance was great, and most of all, IT JUST WORKED. While there isn't as much humor as I expected, unlike last episode, the times we got it weren't misses, and if I'm being completely honest, just in general this episode is one of the most consistent of the series. It's also worth noting that this episode sets up a lot for what's to come, and the payoff is far stronger than last episode, and let's be real: IT WAS EPIC!
Overall, this one is definitely a must-watch, and something tells me next week's episode is gonna be even better...
