@misnomer At first I thought the same about the drawer but it was ultimately inconsequential since Peter confronted her before she could do anything. Quite frankly, had I been in her position the toast would have had me shitting bricks already...
@dtsouza you're right, I was surprised that it was inconsequential in the end, which puzzled me as to why did they do that. Just to throw us off, maybe? And, yes, the toast was creepy enough, but she held her stance, like a rock. They do train their soldiers well, on the other side. A bit too well...

I was never a fan of "origin story" episodes, as they easily tend to become filler episodes (the story barely moves forward and they often spend a whole episode with something that could be explained in a single scene). But what really ruined this one for me was the accidentally half-closed drawer with the cigars inside for the wife to casually notice and become suspicious about it. Such a cliché, that was just lazy writing, which is the exact opposite of what this show has got us used to.
Also, no Howard Alpha (I guess that's the name the show got for our Howard) fucking things up for Howard Prime on the other side. That surely has become quintessential Counterpart, by now.
I'm sure things will get back on track by next week. Unless they decide to give us an origin story for Baldwin...
