Your summation equating this episode to the epitome of watching a car crash before it happens is quite spot-on. Yeah, it is a case where it feels like all the plotlines are all about to collide into each other, and that it’s a massive catastrofuck waiting to happen. The back ally doctor that makes Laurence Olivier in Marathon Man look warm and friendly by comparison, when he asks if Silco is prepared to lose Jinx, I’m with you on that he was not talking about her dying. To Silco’s defense, I don’t think he had a plentiful number of viable options. Jinx’s sanity was already out on a twig in an ice storm, on the edge teetering, and I wholeheartedly agree that whatever is done to her gives her that last push off the edge. The scenes with Vi and Caitlyn are wonderful scenes. When Vi is talking about how a real monster showed up, and she just ran away, I don’t think she’s referring to Silco, I think she’s describing herself. The team-up of Ekko and Heimerdinger is one that you don’t expect yet you very quickly love the idea. I’m with you on there really is no “right” way to handle the undercity situation. I found it rich when Vi says that the council never learns. She says that and I said, “This from the woman who keeps wanting to go into situations guns blazing. You do recall how well that worked out for you the last time, even with Vander telling you it was not the smart thing to do, right? But sure, everyone else, they’re the people that never learn. Right. Pot, kettle, black.” One thing that’s still particularly frustrating me with Vi is say for sake of argument she succeeds in taking out Silco, what then? Who steps in and runs things? Has she thought about that, has she given that any consideration, or does she simply not care, which is perhaps worse. I don’t see her taking over because whoever does would need to be well versed in the art of finesse. Hardly her strong suit. It’s great in this episode how Mel tries to impress upon Jayce that war is not something you want to pursue. It’s like the Twelfth Doctor said, “Because it's always the same! When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn!” It’s a very striking moment when the child is killed. So, yeah, the way this whole episode unfolds, you begin to brace yourself for what’s to come in the finale. One thing for sure, your reaction and insights to it are sure to be most impressive. Can’t wait to see it.

And like a car crash, you can't tear your eyes away.
