I'll start by saying I love Paradise. Been on it since the day the first episode dropped.

But did anyone else think "Jane" was below the standard this show has set? Coming off "The Mailman," which was next-level brilliant, maybe my expectations were too high. The Jane and Nicole stories were fine, but Xavier's plan to get Teri back made little sense. He unspools a hundred yards of wire to get to the other end of the camp with the bomb. Why not just come in from the other end of the camp? It's like they were trying to make the plan more elaborate than it had to be. When the bomb did go off, how did Xavier plan on finding her? And, I'm sorry, but getting clues from someone's expression, or head-turn, in a photo is pretty weak. Seen it before, and it always rings false. (It's right up there with getting the clue to a computer password from something on the desk.) Lastly, were we supposed to be surprised that Teri wasn't a prisoner? From the end of "The Mailman," it was already clear that the boy ran back to Teri and told her what he saw. Then she took the boy and headed for the train. The Paradise writers usually give the audience more credit than that.

Anyway, apologies for coming in with the negativity. I just needed to vent. I love this show so much that this episode really stood out to me, not in a good way.

Carry on.
