Pretty spot on review/recap! I did enjoy the whole thing enormously. I got a tad inattentive during some of the Mary Cas parts, and did a tiny bit of handwaving about the plot points you've highlighted as weak, but most of the episode I was clapping like a seal and laughing out loud. Even Mick's dreadful accent didn't throw me so much this time.

I was, however, gutted they've now killed both Death and Billie! I didn't want Mary to die (yet) either so that was a bummer all round really. Still, I'm quite excited about the rest of the season.
