I was also confused why people disliked this episode, even when I learned the credits didn't run for a lot of people. I loved it, though I can't really quite say why specifically. Just the very concept of the Wattersons referencing past episodes made it special for me.

To quote Anais, "Up until [the episode], every bad situation has gotten worse and worse until it somehow just fixed itself." It succinctly describes the role of the status quo within TAWoG, and reveals that the characters are aware of it happening, but they seem content not to question it. What better way to force a "reset" by cranking things up to eleven and wreaking havoc across Elmore? [Sadism intensifies]

I legitimately ask this question, especially to those who call it a lazy ending? How then would you do it?
