Episode 19: Young Lady, This is Very Strange

Pretty basic, all things considered.

In terms of a mystery, I saw the twist coming a mile away, most of the comedy was bog standard, and the monster plot feels pretty forced.

The episode's' primary focus is to flesh out Rui's' backstory, but not only is her backstory not much in and of itself, it's made even weaker in terms of impact just by the episode in and of itself being so basic.

Like, the episode overall isn't bad per se, but for a show that's been so good about subverting expectations and throwing wild curveballs, I can't help but feel a bit let down, ya know? Oh well, I suppose it does help to let us in on who Rui is as a person a bit more, so it's not a total wash.

Anyway yeah, not much to say about this one. Very standard, very whatever.
