This episode delves into the motivation of each characters and the relational tensions. The whole episode is about the group finally working together despite other things. There are multiple layers to how things go people coming together well while it pushes others apart but having that root of no matter what needed to lean on each other.

This deep dives into the member who takes care of them all and shows where she can get her strength and that you never truly know what someone goes through and that representation is crucial to be shown.

They dive into more depths and character analyses and the girls are learning and doing more on the island it's so interesting to see the elements come together and the girls strategizing and learning to work together.

This episode handles something incredible important with authenticity. For representing those who are struggling in their youth and have depression as well as those repressed LGBTQ+ in religious homes. The Becca storyline as emotional as it is was covered well and very insightful while representing the hardships a lot of teens are going through. The Shelby storyline is one that needs to be shared because it is such an actuality for a lot of people and it was handled incredibly well.

The acting in this episode was the best it has been the entire series Cried so much watching.

Content warnings are a must on these kinds of episodes cause while it needs to be seen it can be triggering and with how well this was done i can only imagine how hard it would be to watch for those who truly relate.

This season invites new characters and while the new characters are no where near as amazing as the girls/original characters they provide more insight and experiments! This episode is a series of ups and downs with a huge cliffhanger that needs answers. The entire episode you think you know what's next but you never have it right and it's so interesting to watch!

What I love about this show is that it doesn't shy away from tough times. Like for example the entire show is about an experiment to show girls are superior to boys and now with the boys it's very evident the hypothesis is being confirmed. But in this episode the boys are coming together while the girls are drifting apart. Although these are true the hypothesis is still showing the superiority of the girls even through tough times and the guys taking longer to find their rhythm.

This episode uncovered so many different aspects of the show, the leadership in the boys, the girls divide in some aspects and just everything about the trauma of being on an island and having to unite to make decisions together. Really love the light thats shown on the girls being better than the boys.

This episode delved into SA awareness in men and the group being a part of the knowledge about it. It was so well done and the boys protecting Josh. This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions and the acting was stellar.

The birthday sequence is so truly beautiful on the girls behalf and they are so truly such a found family. The Home cover is a moment I will never forget because it's so special! The Leah and Rachel scene of making instruments is truly iconic! The boys being able to finally (after much longer than the girls) work together to take down the predator the experiment is going well I love it.

... Not talking about the Seth thing we don't talk about seth out of the boys.

The girls are far more superior to the boys but the contrast fits well within the plot of the experiment, therefore loving the contrasts between the sides. The girls are incredible as always and so multi-dimensional while the boys even with the backstories we've seen seem very superficial an boring which i'm glad to see the girls being better than the guys for once.

As with the new characters this episode seems to be building the foundation for further episodes, so while being slower than the normal pace of the show the depth is still there and very engaging!

Takes a bit to get used to the additional characters but smooth start. The new storyline is different but needed for a scientific study which this show is representing so good start. Girls are incredible as before.
