While the episode’s title refers to the latest role Willis (Jimmy O. Yang) takes on after his uncle is arrested allowing for some insight into his uncle, the larger theme of the episode is the continued ripples Willis’ actions have had on the world. Lana (Chloe Bennet) uses the tropes of the weekly murder investigation to solve a case in record time allowing for her to grab backup to save Willis from his uncle who it turns out wasn’t out to hurt him at all, despite the glitching of the world we see making him appear more dangerous to the detectives. Turner (Sullivan Jones), still despondent over recent events, is reinvigorated by Lana’s actions and the pleas of Willis at the end of the episode cementing another shift and putting the case of Willis’ brother to the forefront.

We Live in Time

  • Title: We Live in Time
  • IMDb: link

We Live in Time is a bit of a throwback, a solid film that shows the formula of throwing together two extremely likable stars and giving them a stage to perform is still a formula for success. For our pairing we get Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh as Tobias and Almut. The film jumps around in non-linear fashion to delve into the pair’s relationship from their cinematic meet-cute (where she literally runs into him with his car) through the ups and downs of their relationship over the years.
