This was a surprisingly decent episode. And directed by Ian Somerhalder himself, no less. I wonder if that's why this episode felt, I don't know, better. The pacing didn't feel as fast, which is good. The entire episode was edited together nicely with each individual part lasting long enough in each scene without going back and forth every five seconds. Or maybe the writers decided to put in the effort because this is the penultimate episode. I don't know, this episode just felt more compact all around. I hope that same feeling will be present with the finale.

These first minutes were so annoying. How often do you have to turn around and focus on your crazy ex, who suddenly became soooo important after your wife died and we never heard of her before other than she’s unstable and not fit to be a mom (as proven), and suddenly she’s such a strong asset to bribe him? Yeah, no. And the continuous shots of him turning around plus the whole way the scene was handled was just so subpar and annoying, they should have thought it over. I’m glad they turned it around but they shouldn’t have drawn it out this unnecessarily long.
And fucking doctor. Called it.
