Featured review
The writers turn over the table with a big injection of drama
Frank puzzles over what to do about Claire's offer before events take a dramatic twist.
There is nothing I can say about the plot without giving any spoilers away, so I'll just say that something happens that has massive implications for so many characters and plot lines.
I don't personally think that the episode is better made than most episodes I have seen so far in the series, it's just contains more drama and opens up the plot to multiple new directions. One quotation from the episode is 'If you don't like how the table is set, turn over the table'. I think this is what the writers have done with the story. The best scenes come after the big event and made me intrigued to find out what happens next.
All performances are strong. Ellen Burstyn and Michael Kelly are the most memorable for me, particularly seeing Doug Stamper display some care and concern whilst Elizabeth Hale shows us where her daughter's cold-heartedness comes from.
