The episode starts out dark and edgy, which is a nice change of pace for this sci-fi show leaning into the more horror themes and tropes of "hunting" in a pulsating nightclub. The focus for the rest of the episode though is a bit more scientific, but obviously not any real world science as I had many questions that were answered with a simple Google search that could easily discredit the entire episode. Besides that, we also are introduced to an incredibly important character who blows the ZFT case wide open at the very end of the episode (although what he says really isn't all that shocking if we're being honest). There's some themes of love, sacrifice, and redemption discussed as well that are almost tasteful if they weren't so frustratingly obvious and inconvenient. For me this was a bit of an annoying episode to watch because they seemed so close to something big and it felt like it slipped away and they got the bare minimum instead. In short, it didn't feel like a success story, leaving me disappointed, but I'm sure it's intentional so they can drag out the story by dangling small details in front us to keep us watching. Sidenote there's some animal testing in this episode that resulted in a dead lab rat and what looked like a cut open dog? Not a big fan of animal mutilation stuff so be warned.
