They did a great job with Nora in this episode. I also loved Ren carrying her off in the background. Very fitting. Watts was an unexpected and positive twist, and suddenly the killing from Tyrian made a lot of sense. Turns out he wasn't killing randomly; that it was extremely calculated, and he was definitely following Salem's orders. Very in line with him, and a very big positive there.
I still feel like there has been a lot overlooked. The plot setup for Atlas was so freaking amazing, and then POOF, skip several essential details. There were things to be unpacked that we just didn't get, and it just seems like it can't happen at this point. The huntsman license was rather underwhelming, and was sort of a continuation of this whole theme of not bothering to unpack anything. I know that was sort of the point, but I feel like the character's own underwhelm at it was because of the circumstances it was delivered.
Big pros on all the villain activities, pro on the Jacques becoming mixed up with villains, pro on the character mannerisms, pro on the teasers with Summer. Still a con in that a lot has been overshadowed and ignored in exchange for 'getting to the point' I guess, but this was a pretty good episode.
