The Astreaus crew is home and all are suffering to readjust to reality with Fargo in deep mourning. It is a largely quiet episode, and Fargo's reaction is the most realistic wIth Neil Grayston's performance being quite beautiful (he and Wil Wheaton steal the show in one vignette in particular). The crisis of the week is entertaining, but certainly an after-thought created to provide some action and amusement while the emotional fallout plays through. Way too much time is spent with the Astraeus rew blaming their non-Astraeus friends for what happened in the matrix. This is explained by an insistence that the matrix was so very realistic - but that runs thin. This episode certainly highlights that although Eureka is populated with geniuses, they are largely idiots when it comes to practical thought.

Problem with fake eureka
jimmietee21 April 2021
So they had 2 really good seasons. Then a bit of a miss. Then they thought they'd jump the shark multiple times. Core people went to a fake Eureka with people that weren't the ones we became attached then the writers thought " let's do a fake Eureka within the alternate Eureka" and this episode is all the alternate people dealing with their emotions over the fake people.
At least we got to watch the super genius kid be thrilled he got to cut school and turned out physically skateboarding is another thing he is expert at. But it doesn't matter because he isn't the real Kevin.
