The police station standoff was a really quiet scene. Charlie's rights negotiated in real time, his humanity a legal grey area. That the system has no framework for him isn't portrayed as exceptional, it's portrayed as completely ordinary.

A breather episode which was intentionally low-key after the previous arc's intensity. The social comedy of Lucy forcing Charlie to make friends is dry and endearing, though it underlines a recurring tension: the show's blunt writing struggles most when it's trying to be subtle.
