Episode Summary & Review
Summary
It’s two firsts for Mark: a first date and a first trip to another planet. At the same time, Nolan and Debbie revisit their own first vacation together.
Our Take
The Mars sequence is the highlight here, giving Mark a real test that’s less about punching and more about problem-solving, which is a nice change of pace. The flashback structure with Nolan and Debbie works better than expected, quietly building toward something darker. The date stuff is a bit stiff, but the episode mostly hums along. Solid hour, worth your time.
