A valiant cause does not excuse juvenile writing The writing for all the episodes was excellent up until this point. Sure, you want to talk about sensitive issues and you want to "change the world" as it were. But that doesn't mean you should allow the writing to devolve into something so disjointed and juvenile as to be unrecognisable. You are not doing the show, nor the cause, any justice here.
Y'all messed up with this episode.
