Best episode of the season, so far.

Call it a filler, a slow-burner, whatever; as far as intrinsic values go, this has to be one of the best-written and -edited episodes ever made in the show. The parallels between the three plot threads were amazing, I thought.

I didn't count any establishing shots in the entire thing; everything was so tightly-edited, and the match cuts were explicit enough for even newbies to the show to catch up on.

Psychological episode indeed.
