      Khatun: You can go with your father and be in painless peace together, or you can take the bird and find out who you really are.

      Prairie Johnson: That isn't a fair choice.

      Khatun: To exist is to survive unfair choices.

    Glorious
    This is a triumphant outing by the OA. An ode to courage and perseverance. Sublime acting from the protagonists and the major antagonist and a slow unwinding of the plot is proving that this is not your typical ADHD focussed teen drama, but an adult affair that requires patience and maturity to unravel, much like the characteristics promoted by the the characters in this epic tale.

    Oh, and the staple OA under-the-skin, creep-factor abounds.

    Superb episode.
