The Leftovers gave us another single-perspective episode, focusing on Nora Durst. This episode was less tense than Matt's - no beating of thieves to a pulp, no race-against-the-clock climax - but I still enjoyed it more than the recent ensemble episodes.

"Guest" is simply stunning.

So for those debating whether to stick out the last batch of episodes, know this: "Guest" is a revelation. It is sardonic and playful, bleak but parodic, disturbing and deeply moving.

A valuable and fascinating portrait of what life would be like for someone who lost so much in the Departure.

Wayne may be the purpose of the episode, but Nora Durst is the focus. Played with alternately icy reserve and fluid fire by Carrie Coon, she's become the most successful embodiment of the series' themes.

Damon Lindelof takes us on another singular journey, this time tracking Nora as she ventures to New York for a life-changing conference.

"Guest" didn't repeat the beats from "Two Boats and a Helicopter." It was its own beautiful mess with a surprisingly uplifting outcome.

The most entertaining episode of the season, which is revealing an unfortunate pattern: As soon as the show takes a break from the horror of the Garvey family (the central characters), it gets a LOT better.

This week's episode of The Leftovers is fantastic.

Back home, Nora isn't stalking the mistress at the playground anymore... She saves her brother's voicemail apology. And when the doorbell rings, it's Chief Garvey, who's tracked her down to invite her to dinner. There is hope.
