I won't give this episode a 10/10 purely because I would agree that the musical bit was hit or miss (though I'm not a musical person, so if you are - watch it and form your own opinion!)
Having said that, the bad reviews for this episode seem biased on personal experiences. Don't like drugs? Cool, that doesn't mean the episode is bad. Sorry if they're not for you, and perhaps a warning at the start would have been nice, but I personally didn't see a problem with this. It's ayahuasca, not heroin lol.
We FINALLY get an answer as to why Alice's relationships never pan out; she's trying to fill the voice that Dana left when she passed in the original series. I think this could be true for anyone who has experienced the love of their life and felt very real. With Alice being my favorite character and someone I've always identified closely with, her scenes brought me to tears. I was so moved by her in this episode.
Sophie and Finley come to an end, and it's honestly for the best. Finley was way too co-dependent and needs to find a way to live her life for herself. Sophie needs to find herself and not the hero/fixer she thinks she is when she's in a relationship. This plot point paved that way for both of them and although it hurts, I'm happy to see the growth.
Shane didn't get a solid answer as so why she always blows everything in her life up, but she did come to an Aha! Moment and realized that Tess was right for her (and that she needed to do everything she could in order to earn back her trust.)
Please watch this episode and give it a fair chance. Form your own opinion - you may discover that it differs completely from mine or others'.
