After the high bar set by the previous episode, this is an overly cinematic, tidy and purposeful episode that understandably has its merits and will certainly find fans, but lacks a stronger story line and more meaningful decision-making by the main characters. The opening, in particular, gives the impression that something sensational is going on, just so something new can be played out.

I enjoyed this episode a bit more than the previous ones. I can't quite put my finger on why, but it might be due to the diversions from the financial world. I loved watching Lara trying to ground her sons in reality and Bobby's explosive outburst at the beginning. These moments added that missing spark I was looking for.
