"How could this get any worse?"
When all hope is lost and it seems the evil will provail, those words are usually uttered (followed by a more dire situation ><).
I cannot for the life of me express in text exactly how I felt as I watched this episode. Very few storylines achieve the emotional impact of pure hoplessness, making it a very enjoyable experience when the odds turn in favor of the good guys.
Bravo. Bravo.
