Another week, another episode I enjoyed. I'm not super sure how Genesis didn't think they were going to get caught when they activated the impulse and warp engines.
I don't know what is happening between Jay-Den and Darem but I am here for it.

The more I think about that scene, the more I feel that she was trying to get caught in a situation that gave her no alternative to tell the truth. She feels like a character that's hiding too much for her own good.
Well, that was certainly a low-stakes palate cleanser after last week's more intense episode. Probably a little too low-stakes for my liking.
They seemed intent on inverting common tropes in this one:
The "arranged marriage" storyline didn't play out in a way that we've really seen before.
Similarly, Darem's overall arc of "I need to stop being such a people-pleaser so I can be my more authentic, dickish self" is...a twist.
Caleb and Genesis put any "will they/won't they" plotlines to rest (though I suppose they could revisit it).
And Genesis' deep, dark secret turned out to be...not that deep. As much as I appreciate the inversion and that she didn't turn out to be a Species 10-C spy or something, I feel like we still don't know enough about Genesis. We're going to have to meet her dad to really get to the bottom of her character, I think.
I love Jay-Den so much, and I really hoped he and Reymi would finally realize their love.
However, I hated the suggested romantic tension between Caleb and Genesis, fortunately it didn’t went further than that.
Quieter episode but I enjoyed it. I wasn't expecting a Genesis story this season from what's been said, but I was glad to get one.
So how did Reno break her toe?
EDIT: This had the feel of “Family”.
She felt like testing the impact door.
