Now, eventhat one chain linking the episodes has been cleanly filed off.
Yet somehow, that’s not even the biggest contrivance of the episode.
The series has never depended on connecting motives with decisions.

It’s awkward, and it takes away from the small amount of gravitasMobLandoccasionally aims for.
