Other than to expose Syd as sadistic and evil in her own right (framing the a-hole male schoolmate, and her mom's boyfriend for extremely serious crimes), this was another episode of nothing.
I know there are fb campaigns to manipulate votes on other shows here, judging by the unbalanced numbers every episode, I wonder if there's one for this show?

I am writing this review because i see that the ones before don't give out any respect to a masterpiece.I think this episode deserves 9-10 just because the way it was build up with psychological elements.I loved how the meanings where hidden between the lines.The episode had so many different layers of thought processes.It shined a light about lot of different concepts of ideas of why are we the way we are in what point of life we experience this things that make us change the way we see the world and see our self.The last 10 minutes just took my mind into the show and spit it back out at the end.I have to say this was true psychological masterpiece.That's why i love this show and i am sad to see that lot of people do not understand the greatness behind it.
Given Syd's power, and the birth and early childhood scenes, I thought the idea was that Syd gave birth to herself, that in most scenes she and her mother switched places, and the struggle was that all she could kiss or touch was herself (as another person). That only with David's psychic powers could she kiss and touch as herself. But boy I was so wrong.
I still cannot fully comprehend the meaning of the conclusion, but it is impactful. It will certainly occupy my thoughts for quite a while. Having finished "Lucifer" the TV show not too long ago, helped me frame the religious allegory better. Seeing others' reviews, perhaps it's only that my life experience couldn't relate. I had it easy. But that's also something I have always wanted to understand, as a person, what happens on the other side of the aisle. This would be my favorite Legion episode, so far.

Out of the 12 parts there are two that I'd say are possibly the best episodes but part 12 is my personal favorite of the series this far and is the fourth of season 2.
This episode left a huge imprint on me leaving me with huge emotional impact executed so incredibly, that I barely blinked this whole episode.
Syds maze is much like mine and much like David's. Facing adversary and it molding and shaping you to become stronger as an individual! The speech given at the very end is so moving and gripping!! It leaves me flabbergasted that anyone can be complaining about filler episodes or weirdness when these first 4 episodes have felt like a thunder storm!!
Thank you FX for renewing this series for a much deserved third season and being a cable provider that sticks with critically acclaimed shows despite low viewership!!! More networks need to take note. Besides canceling Terriers, I love FX!
With Ryan Murphy leaving for Netflix, something tells me theyll wsnt Noah Hawley with his 2 package deal (Fargo, legion) for a long time to come.
Dont listen to the negative reviews but if you agree that it's not up your alley, that's just fine ONLY this very episode is so brilliant that I cant believe anyone not feeling affected by it.
Simply stunning and dazzling! Look me in the face and tell me there wasnt a story behind this style????
