Though this episode could have just as well been the finale, we have plenty more to look forward to next week. Go to Full Review Alasdair Wilkins AV Club 07/20/2018

A lot of this episode falls under the heading of table-setting, as the show prepares for its big finale. Go to Full Review Sam Woolf We Got This Covered 07/27/2018

4.8/5

3/5
