I actually liked this one, creepiness aside.

I'm sad that "Beth" seems irredeemable. Once she stabbed the commander, it seems like that was the key for the show to really put her in the evil camp.

Being a CW Arrowverse show it will take the entire season for Jacob and Kate to come to realize that Beth is irredeemable. :)

I didn't catch it at first but Luke mentioning the Arkham Asylum breakout to Mary is a reference to last year's Elseworlds crossover, which places the Batwoman timeline about a year behind Arrow and Flash.
