I liked the ep, too, and I feel there is still lots to explore thematically. It made me think.
And being a lactating female, it hit close to home - and I'm still pondering what it had to say about parenthood - though I'd have to nitpick Emily's choice of nightwear, much too impractical.
When Emily/Echo said she couldn't remember her husband, he'd been replaced by a stranger, it made me think of The Echomaker.
As to pain and loss: the real humans try to find ways to avoid dealing with it; it's the Active who embraces it, because she knows the alternative - it's better to feel pain than nothing at all. Madeline was really creepy in that respect.
Someone was unhappy with the ep, because we'd seen no mention of Epitaph One, but there's Topher continuing on his narcissistic downward spiral, now messing with bodies as well as with minds, there's the relationship between Echo and Ballard, there's Adelle caring too much for her actives.
I'd be sad to see this cancelled - I hope we get the promised 13 eps at least.
