The Episode Review
A tornado that appeared to be nonchalant was spotted in the US on Wednesday. This is despite the fact that there are typically a lot of tornados in the US each year. ..
The episode ends with a mild resolution, but it leaves the door open for more potential development in the future.
Joel projects his insecurities onto Roger, which is a nice way of showing his real goals in life and some tidbits over what happened to him in the past are certainly welcome.
