Episode Summary & Review
Summary
After learning his sleeve’s identity, Kovacs demands the full story from Ortega. A tip from Poe leads to a major breakthrough in the Bancroft case.
Our Take
The reveal about Kovacs’s sleeve lands well and finally gives Ortega something meaty to work with, even if her family subplot still drags. Poe continues to steal every scene he’s in, and the case moves forward at a decent clip. A solid middle-of-the-season hour that rewards sticking with it.
