Episode didn't quite work for me.
I did appreciate the bittersweet feel of the first half, but felt that there there wasn't material before the big reveal. Though I compliment the show on being more serious, I'm missing the more fun episodes of the last two seasons.
At first, the second half felt more like a humorous return to form. I realize how much I missed Marco's parents who stole the show this time. But I felt the attempt to squeeze in how Marco had drifted from his parents didn't have enough time to develop in the 15-minute format and the episode ended too abruptly.
