    Tension Without Surprise

    This episode functions more as a setup than a fully satisfying chapter on its own. It's not so much about surprises-every event unfolds in a way that feels inevitable, given what preceded it. As such, we're left with a dialogue-heavy episode that, while not particularly eventful, lays the groundwork for what's to come. The pacing may feel slow, but the tension is clearly building, promising more impactful developments ahead.

    Rating: 7/10.
