I enjoyed this episode quite a bit.
Agree with
Treadwell that there could have been a bit less seeing people walk down hallways, but other than that I felt pacing was good in this one.
I thought the scene with Kelly and Klyden in her office was incredible. Adrianne Palicki gives off “f%#k around and find out” vibes all the time, so it’s nice to see her kind of flex that a bit. On top of that, the emotion portrayed in that scene was great.
I also liked Isaac’s interaction when Klyden entered the operating room. Everyone knows Isaac is not to be trifled with, including Isaac. The way he just stepped in front of Klyden was awesome.
Overall the episode was pretty heavy. Mature subject matter that resonates in the world today. If I had one nit to pick, I think they should’ve played up Bortus’s singing a little bit simply by having him sing something a bit ridiculous. Like, I’d have died if he’d have said “Dr Finn taught me this, it’s one of her favorites,” and then launched into “The Macarena”, or Miley Cyrus’s “Party In The USA,” but had it arranged as a classical piece with only the piano accompaniment.
As a side note, I hope Klyden is gone for good. He’s long been my least favorite character…which I feel is actually by design, they’ve written him to make us not like him. That said, I won’t be upset at all if we never see him again.
