The stakes, the drama, everything was perfect in this episode. This episode was great for the same reasons as episode 6 of season 1, with everything converging. That, combined with the new slickness of this season, makes a perfect episode. The show has always struck a delightful balance between comedy and drama, but this episode had more situational comedy, that was also somehow tense and dramatic. Most of the episode takes place around the rehab center. The crisis that sets the episode in motion is Vic's decision to tell the detective about Alison's murder. From there, everything collides, causing so many moments that will shake the very foundation of these character's lives for seasons to come. This season has been very saturated with technical reveals and plot twists, so it is really great to have an episode instead filled with dramatic reveals and shocking development for the characters. Alison's storyline is REALLY starting to feel like Breaking Bad, although the final scene of the episode reminded me more of Pulp Fiction.
