I remain in awe of this series.
This episode in particular is like lighting a stick of dynamite and then waiting for it to go off.
At its core, the episode is about the basic fact of life that most of the things we do, we do for ourselves and then we spend the rest of our lives explaining those decisions to others affected by them more than we had realized.
Jonathan Tucker, who never gives less than a remarkable performance, is proving himself to be the "glue" for the series. That means, when a story shift occurs, the viewer naturally looks to see how Tucker's character reacts, he has become the moral centre for the story. Which is ironic considering he was initially portrayed as crazy and unpredictable.
When Paul Hauser explodes at the end, it is a credit to the production crew and writers that this seems less startling than it should otherwise have been.
