Strong characterization. I immediately forgot they were supposed to feel like characters in a story. Perfect introduction to a new companion award goes here. Ace has a whole new dimension to her while still staying true to the foundation of her character.

They had an interesting direction to take the villain to but chickened out. Shame. This could've been an instant classic.

The procedural part of this episode works just fine. Suspense where it's needed, intrigue where it's appropriate. It loses steam towards the latter half, but it's a decent thriller.

A major flaw is the preview. I don't need to hear the most interesting scenes at the beginning like it's a Mr Beast video. Also confused the hell out of me before I figured out what it was supposed to be.

3.5/5
