    was there a reason for this episode to not be exclusively about thraxxa ? the scenes about debbie and donald didn’t seem crucial to me. I don’t understand this naration where they alternate between these scenes. Seems to remove a bit of the epicness and drama.

      it’s common for tv shows that want to leave off on a cliffhanger to have multiple plot lines to kind of show at the end of the cliffhanger. it gives the viewer that much more reason to want to watch again. now instead of wondering about mark and nolan, we wonder about donald, debbie, eve.

        but isn’t nolan getting his spine shattered and captured enough of a cliffhanger ? donald and debbie aren’t going anywhere

      I agree, i guess they wanted to cover all the characters arcs, but imo they should’ve focused on the most important plot, stay on thraxxa for the entire episode

      I agree about the Donald scenes, but I appreciated the parallel scenes with Debbie while Mark was discovering what his dad had been doing.

      I would say the Eve scenes probably didn’t need to be in this episode rather than the Debbie scenes.

      Debbie is struggling without Nolan… but raising Oliver soon will help. And the Donald stuff is to further show that Cecil will be the big bad this season

        Angstrom Levy is already said to be the big bad of this season. If anything, Cecil v Mark will be season 3 material.

        oh, you’re right, it’s to show cecil manipulative behaviour that will culminate with him and mark fighting. I didn’t think it would happen so soon. too many plot to fit in 8 episodes, that’s the problem.
