From the presentation itself, this episode seems to be teasing a significant change in the narrative. While it did start in a manner viewers are expecting it to be there is a noticeable change in the atmosphere as it goes on. And even some of the cast themselves are taking notice. This shift ia a bit foreboding, and I hope there is actually a good reason for this. Don't want to mess up the framework they've been relying on for a while. Still, I personally want to see this unfold, so let's get on with it.
