i think the only gripe I have with this ep is how the escalation occurred but it probably speaks to Ishido's hastiness. 'capture mariko at all costs' somehow getting to 'blowing up the doors to a storehouse' feels pretty thin and feels like there could have been a few steps inbetween.
The scene with blackthorne drawing a line in a sand was a bit on the nose but a super nice touch I think. They dwelled on it for the right amount of time and the way blackthorne brings it with him in following scenes is perfect.
