No recap this time.  It’s a limited run and if you’re not watching after fourteen episodes…

Not trying to keep track of every event in the show for later recount allowed me to finally watch the show in one sitting without pauses and I have to say it’s a very strong show over all and this episode was fantastic – odd considering Michael Filipowich wasn’t in this episode.  Even Reena was enjoyable as she exacted some revenge on Malachi, her programmed killer brain seems to be either taking over or allowing her Reena mind to adapt making her both dangerous and frankly pretty decent to watch.

Jasmine and Sew Sew’s relationship is blossoming and it’s rather sweet to watch.  Both Jasmine and Charlie got busy with new people this time around and it was very cathartic.  Charlie bedded Blues Paddock (we like her) and this episode was very Blues-centric, though more than one character made internal narrations at various points.  Blues seemed to recap all that she and Charlie had gone through including the very end where it seemed she hadn’t seen him since he spilled his guts about his entire life since coming to Beta.  It was again cathartic for Charlie to – thanks to some quality editing and clip montages – open up to Blues about his entire sojourn into Beta’s Cape Town society.

This episode really gave the lighter of the cast to shine and it was surprisingly refreshing.  I didn’t think seeing Jasmine and Reena this much would be worth it but it was and this was to me the strongest episode yet.  It’s really being pushed that Vex-Cor is a criminal organization and that the Alpha version of the company is on track to ruin several dozen billion lives if they don’t stop and now we’re starting to see those rising up to oppose them.  More needs to be told and we’re only five away from being complete.  I can only hope they don’t leave it on too much of a cliff hanger.

That’s why I give this episode four and a half shiny blue stones.
