This is one of those episodes that stops everything and attempts to do a deep character dive and give a overly dramatic, deep thinking, lots of anguish type of deal. It instead is boring and tedious. The story does not progress in the slightest. They really did pause the story to try and give us a "thinking" episode. But nothing is accomplished. You could see it coming early into it that at the end we are literally right back where we started. This episode could've been told in about 15 minutes.
We can start with removing half the dialogue between Amber and Hilde. And I mean easily half of it. Then they show more than necessary of Amber braving waterfalls and rough terrain considering it was all going to be moot.
Maybe 20 minute episode stretched to 60. We never see Bambi or Prince so the pace is mind-numbingly slow.
Do I still like the show overall? Yes I do. But this episode wasn't nearly as "powerful" as they clearly thought they were doing. An unnecessary detour. Get back to the story. Let's go.
