This episode is unlike any of the others in season 2 as it follows Mitch and his unexpected visitor (Alex) in Italy. I like that they've continued to follow Mitch, because it brings up interesting concepts - what is the aftermath like for the canceled, and should they have a chance at redemption? True to season 2, there are a few moments of moral signaling but for the most part, the episode attempts to present flawed characters and allow you to draw you own conclusions. The character of Paola really grew on me, and she was great in this episode.
Alex is hard to take at times. She's not particularly strategic. She's very aggressive and reactive, so it's kind of amazing (maybe a bit unbelievable) that she made it this far in her career, but I assume her unraveling is reflection of where she is now but she wasn't always like this. In Aniston's capable hands, this character is still incredibly compelling to watch.
So ultimately, this episode follows 2 flawed characters and shows you their vulnerabilities. I found it interesting.
