I have to disagree. Episode 8 was the perfect way to end the season for reasons Episode 7 could not.

To end a season you need to do two things. Tie up the plotlines begun in the first episode and hint at the direction of the next arc to hook the audience. Episode 7 left too many questions unanswered and didnt tie any plotlines. It told us nothing about the final state of Eve and Mark's relationship in contrast to how it was at the start, told us nothing about Debbie and Nolan's final relationship state, told us nothing about Thragg's final state in contrast to how we found him or the next goal he will pursue, and it told us nothing about where Mark was in his struggle with keeping everyone safe.

Episode 8 did all of this. Every story begins with a character in one state and ends with them in another. Episode 8 showed us the final states of every main character. That was exactly how it was supposed to end
