Weakest episode of the series thus far, but still some important information. Would still watch this episode on re-watch.

2025-03-12 18:28:09 +0000 UTCI don't know how to feel about this episode. In general, I feel like this sort of episode is not really a vital one to have at all, these sorts of characters get by with vague, undefined backgrounds, and that sometimes even works better for villains—that is, if they want to keep Cobel as a villain. And we already knew from Reghabi that she "was raised by them", I don't know if we really needed that much more. And if we did, they could have explored that further in similar small asides. I also feel like the reveal that Cobel designed the Severance procedure was a pretty big ret-con. But still, Patricia Arquette was great as always and I think they could have made this episode work. But there's a time and a place, people... After an entire episode of mostly character background in episode 7, with the plot barely moving forward, you grind the entire plot to a standstill yet again, with three episodes to go, for this? I don't know, man... As a sidenote, what they're huffing is obviously ether, the thing they were making at the factory ("the Ether Mill"). It's mostly used as an industrial solvent these days. Ether as a recreational drug has mostly disappeared in the real world apart from some corners of Eastern Europe. It can cause psychological dependence but not hard, physiological dependence like nicotine or alcohol.
