This is odd episode, everything feels a little bit off and the episode feels out of place or at least out of order. Nikki and Claire are the prominent characters this week and to put it bluntly neither are served well. Claire gets to meet her biological parents and it is atrociously written and acted. However revelation involving her father keep this subplot intriguing.
Erin, becomes a little bit more interesting this week as we find out she works with Mr Bennet. Away from Nikki and Claires part of the episode the only other thing that happens is Peter and Isaac noticing that he paints in the style of a comic book artist. Which bearing Isaac is a comic book artist is about as surprising as a sunset.
Oh my god Nikki's stuff is awful this week, but its amusing to find out that the actress submitted this episode to get nominated for an Emmy. We meet D.L. properly this week and he also has a power - to phase through solid objects, much like Peters flying it does not translate well to screen and is hysterical. The main fault of this part of the episode is that we saw Nikki's powers first hand two episodes ago and this episode plays out like its meant to be a reveal. As we hear about this "woman" who set D.L. up the viewer immediately knows its Claire.
This episode feels like it was written be someone who hasn't seen or has any knowledge of previous episodes. Theres a lot of low key good stuff in this episode but its obscured by a lot of in your face rubbish and gets a 4/10.
