i gotta watch04 again but how did they get those stories told with so much depth in that short time span? I feel like this season they've experimented with several tropes on how to do the show and episode 4 really works.

A good amount of scenes with the guy to this things together but then 2 seemingly disparate stories with a similar theme (parent/child relationships) tied together by some random NY thing. It also seamlessly combined new and old characters.
