"He was set up to be the season's main character, and as we reach its midway point, his protagonism has only solidified. He is experiencing painful professional growth, learning by making mistakes, and personally regressing and making bad decisions against his better judgment. This is a motif of the season as a whole: People keep succumbing to their worst instincts."
"You could tell when Kizzi broke up with Tommy that she knew it wasn't the right thing to do, only the Kizziest thing. Our cast members are all in on playing their characters. Only Joe is coming at it from a reverse angle: His fondness for V is making him unrecognizable to himself, a refrain that comes up a hundred times this week (yes, Joe, it's nice to be loved)"
Nathan impregnated someone in the season opener and emerges as the season's central protagonist. He undergoes painful professional growth, learning through mistakes while personally regressing and making poor choices against his better judgment. Characters repeatedly succumb to their worst instincts, as seen when Kizzi ends her relationship with Tommy despite knowing it is wrong. Joe's attachment to V makes him unrecognizable to himself and foreshadows a dramatic reversal. The episode drags after the charter because of excessive romantic scenes, but Nathan faces consequences for Max's decision to let Imran drive the tender and is urged by Sandy to be a boss. A misbehaving "pathetic float" confuses guests.
