I ended up rewatching the first season since I had forgotten a lot of what happened and am glad I did because a few things that happened early on get paid off in this episode, like when Ravi mentions the fireworks and Lucy gets her tooth knocked out. I'm really impressed by how the writer has constructed this show.

I was expecting both Lucy and Isaac to die in the fire and thought the next loop would be her focused on trying to get him back. I'm really interested to see where things go now that they're both still alive and she understands what's going on.

You know I'm a bit dense. I never quite put it together that Lucy is always the detective who catches Gideon in every lifetime but the one we've seen in season 1. I thought it was Ravi. Somehow I thought Lucy was a detective for the first time "this" go-around, when we saw a short tease of it at the end of last season.

So this was the loop that happened before last season. With Gideon waiting for Lucy "just this once". Interesting.

There was also a massive red herring at the end of last season. They made it seem like Lucy was dying and a new loop was starting. But that's not what happened. Instead we flashed back to last loop. I'm wondering if that was always the plan or if they decided on that between seasons.
