Why this episode is rated way too low?

Out of all episodes, this episode was my favourite episode of this entire season, finally the Darkling started to show his Evil Side, His standoff against Kaz *Chef kiss*, Alina met the trio for the first time, Mal & Alina reunion was so sweet, finally Inej got some fighting scenes what a badass, the whole plot was so tense yet smooth at the time.
Cheap story telling, if any

Too much fuzz for nothing. The screenplay is poor, the acting mediocre and so many names and places which both make it too hard to follow what is actually going on. Sadly the direction has nothing to add. Another netflix-wannabe-a-success show with a story without consistency and clarity for its audience. Let's drop more money in the production, add some CGI (there isn't much) and everyone will be happy. Well that's not how a show is made. This show is tops 6.5 stars worth. Seeing 8.5 already, makes me want to underrate it. I am so disappointed because I watched so many episodes and I was hoping it would get better. But it doesn't.

Bleh. Two attempts at writing this review and lost it twice because IMDB has no draft save. So annoying.
Okay, General Fancypants is awesome.
-1 Star for characters getting nude together with no nudity shown
Sunshine Girl and Whipping Boy reunited and find out the letters they'd sent each other were not being delivered.
Kas and team steal a coach. Sunshine and Whipping boy explore the wilderness. FancyPants deduces that Sunshine Girl is going after the magic Stag.
All in All a boring episode with 1 big flaw. 4/10.
