Summary

After waking up alone and shipwrecked, Finn investigates a bizarre island in search of his friends.

Our Take

A quiet, eerie hour that leans on atmosphere over action, and it mostly pays off. Finn wandering this strange island solo gives the episode a lonely, dreamlike mood that the show rarely goes for, and the mystery builds nicely without overstaying. Some pacing lulls in the middle keep it from being great, but it’s a solid, moody detour worth your time.
