A lovely finale to the first stranded set.
Again the character work is on full display, we get all of the house at one point or another (even the dad shows up!). I like the threads that they're starting up with Divine Intervention, especially with it linking back to the sci-fi plot here. The plots all converge quite nicely here too, with Eight showing up late to dinner and bringing danger when he does, the sci-fi side of things starting to be exposed to the 'mundane' side of the cast.
Andy and Eight's interactions are also great, Andy being scared but not surprised confusing Eight is quite fun, and him trying to hide his knowledge is also great. Liv and Tania also continue to be a lively couple, their lounging around together, the date being ruined by Eight, Liv letting the rest of the flat know that they're together is fun.
The opening with Eight on a quiz show is also nice, and his complete lack of understanding how money works, presumably because he's always just gotten by using Time Travel is great (which also leads to a lovely pair of scenes with him and Tania then Liv).
