This is definitely what I would consider a wasted episode. I have always liked the character of Hondo Ohnaka, but the version that we got in this episode, while having a lot of good moments, felt like a really childish version of the character who had been incredibly awesome in previous appearances. The episode didn't seem to have anything going for it, and I never understood what the idea was behind it. It even decided to bring back one of the worst antagonists that this series has had so far, and this episode did nothing to make him more interesting. I still don't understand what the meaning of this episode was. Was it to make Ezra realize that he needs to put more focus on the things that matter? If it was, then I didn't get the sense that it succeeded in doing that. I wish I could have seen something do justify the existence of this episode, but this does belong in the "unnecessary" category with that other episode in the first series. I hope that this doesn't become a regular thing, but when the episode number has been boosted so much for this series, I could fear that more could be on the way.
