Even in the midst of a disaster you can find hope, this epitomizes this episode quite accurately. Yes the setting is under threat with no clear resolution, but that doesn't stop people from being idealistic still. And that same mindset is what they are hoping would bail them out from their situation. Unfortunately, things might get worse than they thought, this is truly the most dire moment in the series. There are many hints before that this might happen, but seeing it now creates a bleak outlook for what's coming next. Hold tight, it's going to be a bumpy ride from now on.
