EPISODE REVIEWS

We have a fun little episode of what I can assume is a two-parter, the whole revolving around yet another mask which has accidentally come in to power. While the mask this episode focuses on isn't anything overly evil or harmful - more so inconvenient than anything - it's still a mask which needs to be destroyed so it can't be used and abused by those with less than ideal motives. Speaking of less than ideal motives, the owner of this new mask is in that sort of situation, where her past mistakes caused her to become a masquerader and be taken advantage of. All in all, our new characters aren't ones that overly compel me, but the masks they seem to possess definitely put a fork in the road for our main characters, especially since we might be looking at series-long antagonists here; it's too early to tell, though. I just had fun watching this little mission unfold, honestly, and the dynamic between our main characters is definitely starting to shape up nicely.

I could not stop thinking about Tina sitting in that room hearing what everyone actually thinks of her. Her own friends. That mask of telepathy is the cruelest thing in this show and nobody swings it like a weapon

That corrupt chief getting his own lies glowing on his skin before they killed him was nasty work. No courtroom no trial just the mask telling everyone what he really was. Cold way to open an episode
