I was annoyed when then killed Keller. Sure they telegraphed his death, but I think he had potential. Plus, I don't necessarily believe that Mack and Yo-Yo are well suited as a couple, and now I suspect the show is going to do everything to push them back together.

I really didn't buy the 180 turn that Deke did here. Previously he was so excited to go out into the real world and touch trees and eat fruit and have real experiences. Now he's all virtual this and food substitute that. Yeah, sure I can see him being materialistic and wanting to avoid being broke and destitute, but I don't think this is the approach he would take, especially if it involves him replicating unpleasant experiences from his own reality.

Sarge was (of course) the bright spot of the episode.

Agreed on all points.

I was hoping Deke's startup bro-ness was going to be a Framework simulation.

It also seemed silly that May would rush into an obvious trap.

I feel sad for Keller being the redshirt around here. He was kinda cute.

Deke...yes, that's exactly what I'd expect from him, but I did enjoy him deducing Fauxson and stabbing him in the real hand, etc. And that the secret SHIELD agent calling Code Yellow had a giant lemon on his shirt.

I hate holodeck shit.

I about died at the Instagrammed ending.
