We may FINALLY begin to really address the topic of Olivia as Annie is stuck in the fantasy world of Ellie’s dreams.
In order to prep for Pill C, the GRTA situation is addressed. Alongside Dr. James’ issues with his mother Dr. Greta.
We come to the end of the Pill B arc and, naturally, with it being Owen’s episode, things transition to addressing his issues – like Olivia. Until Annie upstages him.
The only way to make sense of “Furs By Sebastian” is remembering the point of Pill B is finding a subject’s defense mechanism(s).
While Smallfoot may give some adults pause with topics dealing with questioning authority and religion, it’s message of unity kind of compensates for that.
In this episode, so begins the need to question if Disney buying Marvel, and now having the X-Men, might have affected Raven’s Home.
As Peter Knox begins to pressure Diana, she finds herself more allured towards Matthew and the vampires. Perhaps even romantically.
Remember Dr. James, from the commercial with Dr. Robert? Well, he is reintroduced and, as a bonus, we learn why Owen was committed.
A focus on Annie helps Maniac rebound from a lackluster premiere. Especially as we learn how and why she got into the trial.
The only reason Maniac presents to continue past episode 1 is your loyalty and faith in the actors. Not their characters or the story.

The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
