Portal Patrol

Episode Summary & Review

Our Take

This is a sentimental hour built around each character getting a personal detour, and the results are uneven. Some visits land with real emotional weight while others feel like box-checking before the finale. The pacing drags in the middle stretch, but the character work mostly pays off, and it sets the table well enough. Worth watching if you’ve come this far, just don’t expect the season’s best.
