THANK YOU!
I was so angry when I first saw the episode and you've voiced many of my feelings.

This is just ONE episode, why can't you do continuity right in the span of an hour and a half??
BLACKMAILERS ACTUALLY NEED REAL MATERIAL TO BLACKMAIL WITH.

A big yes to all of this.
Sloppy and incredibly smug writing from first to last.

It's such a shame. I used to love this show so much.
