Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Skin to-skin contact feels like fire to Patient 66; with a history of minimal human touch or relationships, Dr. Roberts prescribes her a Dream Date.
Our Take
A surprisingly sweet episode for a show this weird, leaning into the patient’s loneliness without getting sappy about it. The dream date premise gives the cast room to be awkward and funny, and the rotoscoped dream sequences look as scrappy and charming as ever. It’s short, a little slight, but the emotional core lands better than you’d expect. Worth twenty minutes of your time.
