Well that was anticlimactic. After being bested by Charles Devereaux (Richard Armitage) at every turn, Lara Croft (Hayley Atwell) faces off against the man who has acquired all the stones and (literally) become a monster… and she just beats him rather easily abruptly ending the threat and story in a single episode set within a secret bunker belonging to The Light. Aside from the victory, which Camilla Roth (Zoe Boyle) helps on, the episode is also notable for Lara finding some inner peace (Shifu would be proud) in a short coma at the beginning of the episode. With the threat neutralized, the series moves forward to its final episode of the season acting as both an epilogue and, no doubt, setting up for the show’s next season which may actually see Lara use guns.

The Irrational - Anatomy of a Fall

“Anatomy of the Fall” allows for the conclusion of Phoebe’s (Molly Kunz) separate story and her return to the department. Before that, however, we’ll get a case of suicides on campus which Alec (Jesse L. Martin) is asked to look into. What he finds, with the help of Marisa (Maahra Hill), is the latest suicide was anything but as a young woman’s death was covered up by her sorority sisters attempting to avoid bad publicity. The episode is notable for the experiment playing on how peer pressure can force someone to go against what they know to be true, the case hitting home for Simon (Max Lloyd-Jones) given his brother’s death, and Alec’s interactions with the girl’s father (Blake Robbins) allowing them both a way to honor the young woman’s memory.
