I realise the show requires character development and context, but gee... with nearly 50% of the episode dedicated to watching Spencer shiver on a capsized boat while um, generic pretty blonde, whimpers and makes inaudible groans, was coma inducing.
With the episode fittingly moved about as fast as a turning tide, and proving equally soppy, we hadn't advanced the story beyond a day.
In other news, Jacob was able to grumble his way up a dirt path, and Aminah, running from the hideous, cruel and indoctrinating Catholics got five mins of screen time, which gave her enough time to put on a pair of pants.
By the end, Spencer was no closer to America, Aminah was forgotten, and the audience closer to joining dots on lineage, or much else for that matter.
With the slow burn leading up to an ending with only two episodes to go, you'd be able to cram more into Lizzo's lunch box. So, this episode should have moved the story much further.. 2/10.
