I personally did not like this episode. Reflecting back to my last one, I remember it being mv more interesting and not as graphic. I would not mind watching another episode but I do not think I will do it for fun. I hope that next quarter, my episode is much more interesting. This episode had kind of similar stories, some having the same pains etc. I was very disappointed with this. All 3 of my stories within the episode had very bland endings. I do really hope that next quarter is something I will enojy much more than this episode.
