For what is the final season I think there are good indications because they are turning over cast which means they aren't trying to preserve anything. All that considered I found it to only be a so-so ep. When a show is willing to sacrifice cast, although this show tends to also bring them back from the dead, it's a great indication that they will take the story line to new places. I was surprised to find this rated 9.9 before aired though.
