What a great episode this was, so much was explained and so much happened I wish it went on for another half hour. Finally we're seeing some loose ends tied up and bad guys/good guys were brought together face to face for a staring contest. Loved it! So psyched to se Krystal reappearing next week too, I've missed her.

I completely agree - I loved watching this episode so much!

My favourite part was the dinner scene; I could feel the inherent tension of all these people on the table, and at the same time, this was so comical for me as a viewer! I think this was great writing, and for people who are interested in this: Jenn Engels speaks about it here in this interview:

Just another detail I want to add regarding this episode (my favourite so far):

Director Helen Shaver speaks about this episode in the blog on the website of BBC America here:

There's a wonderful paragraph about the two scenes between Cosima and Delphine (second part here) in this - here it goes:

A marvelous moment happened early on, maybe the second take. ... Evelyne lifted Tatiana up so that she was holding her, which made Tatiana taller than her. That sort of shift in the physical dynamic is so evocative for the viewer — to go from Cosima looking up to Delphine , to being level and finally above . If we had cut to a wide shot you would have seen Cosima’s legs wrapped around Evelyne’s waist. Evelyne literally lifted Tatiana up, and it was just a breathtaking moment. And while I let each scene evolve in its own way, I said, “Make sure you lift her up because that’s fantastic.”

I know, just a tiny detail, but it's such a great scene in a great episode.

Best wishes,
