Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Finn isn’t as innocent as he looks: a dark secret he’s been hiding at home is revealed. Can Seth be persuaded to come out of retirement and take a power before someone gets forced into submission?

Our Take

A grim, uncomfortable hour that leans hard on Finn’s captive-girlfriend reveal, and it mostly works because the show commits to the ugliness instead of playing it for laughs. The power-dealing subplot with Seth feels like filler by comparison. Watchable, but the new cast is still finding its footing and it shows.
