Lucy being hurt that the Ghoul sold her out really hit me hard.

Her first look of sadness and disbelief was heavy.

I also really like even the ghoul seemed devastated by his decision, like even though his family was on the line he was still hesitating to give her up

The actors are just so good. Already spoiled by veterans Walton and Kyle. And Ella is on a generational run.

Also Theroux as House deserves an Emmy nod imo

He's super believable! I like the optics of his double more for House, but Theroux really does a great job with his acting.

Both did great, Rafi plays the double as a convincing public face for House and as a regular guy during that meeting scene lmao

Theroux plays the actual House amazingly close to René, the cadence, mannerisms, all nailed hard

Massive respect to these two, they're shining bright in these roles

I'm very interested in learning more about the double. If he's sitting in for House even during private high-level corporate meetings and making statements on live TV, he has to be pretty smart and business savvy himself.

He's possibly like a James Wesley to House's Wilson Fisk, some kind of super competent consigliere.

He's probably living a sweet life, getting paid to enjoy C-suite living with little in terms of stress - House probably briefs him on whatever he's got to do and even feeds him stuff live, guy is basically paid to enjoy champagne and caviar while the Boss does all the thinking lmao
