This was a strange episode for me, since while there was nothing particularly bad about the episode, I was not particularly enthused about it at any point.

After the drama of the previous episode, there was a danger that this episode would be a bit of a let down. Thankfully this was not the case and in many ways the title of the previous episode “Gimme Some Truth” could equally apply to the developments in Scary Monsters and Super Creeps.
