This episode so very well follows from the Episode 7, but is totally opposite to it in the tone and setting. Whereas, this episode portrays everything that the this show has carried - you can be killed anytime and with no emotion. It is not the storm that should scare you, but the normalcy and the silence in this muddy lake.

Julia Garner was again spot on this episode, with such a powerful acting delivered. She carries her emotion in balance, but in a very raw state. The flashbacks and Ruth's plans are all very well crafted, with such an engaging sync with the story. I really liked the color scale and camera placements, especially the cafe scene with Ruth has been amazingly crafted.

This was a solid opening for the second part, and guess everything is up for takes now. But, you first gotta wipe it clean of all the blood.
