While watching this episode, I realized that the writers of season 1 must have had some flash of realization regarding any positive reviews of season 1 episodes.
So they took that moment of clarity and wrote this episode, exploring that notion of unearned applause and appreciation. Well, good on them.
Season 2 is faring much better than season 1, and maybe part of that was an acknowledgment that merely reciting wokey tropes wasn't actually "storytelling", so they went another direction. Like, "hey, how about if we wrote some good episodes for a change?"
Whatever it was, I'd say "keep it up" but then they decided against doing season 3. Oh well. Can't say they'll be missed.
