Hap asks Prairie what was in the babushka stew she made; she tells him the ingredients, which includes tomato paste. Hap then tells her he has a deathly allergy to tomatoes. But Prairie already said in the narration that she had given Hap the list of ingredients so that he could order them for her online. Therefore there's no way he couldn't have known about the tomato paste. See more »Quotes

I'm reviewing this episode mostly because there is no other review and I feel there should be a continuance.
That's mostly what is happening in this episode, continuance. We learn more of the OA's backstory and watch the characters grow, all with a great progression pace. I feel that's a very strong point so far. The story is neither rushing nor dragging and we get the right doses of emotion, action and suspense.
What's been said about the series before still holds true. Great cinematography, music themes, casting and acting.
