Ohhh, that shifted a few gears.

I thought it was very good indeed.

First half carried on the somewhat over the top comedy and light heartedness from episode one, but then the scene with Thurgoose and the elder woman was excellenty emotional and tied in nicely to how the whole saga started with him talking about his dad.
Then the Kelly scenes were horrible, (but well done), and then the issue of Combo...

Excellent stuff really overall.

I completely agree with you, I loved this episode, it was very intense. It was also for me one of the best, if not the best, portrayal of the effect of E. I was getting high just watching it, the sense of awe and the uneasiness. Loved the scene of Sean crying to the older woman, it felt very real, familiar and touching.
