13248658, I agree that it was the most "out there" episode yet. Posted by Brew, Fri Apr-06-18 12:32 PM

But I disagree that they never "edged towards" other levels of darkness. For starters I think this season in general was meant to be a bit gloomier and darker than last, evidenced by the season's opening scene where a girl got shot (which I'd consider to be edging towards darkness).
Again it may be the darkest they've gotten but it's not like they haven't approached dark themes before.
