Ex the “harlot” grace tearing the church apart and hitting the little girl and then you hear it from a more true pov and see what an unreliable narrator the last version of the scene was.
I do agree the flashbacks are a bit egregious in leverage but they do some nice ones where they hide stuff off camera in the original scene and then you see the different angle and it’s like ohhhh that’s where that happened.
That having been said I think season 2 was their weakest by far in every direction…and not cause of the pregnancy, I would love if Jeri Ryan had been permanent. The stories were just weak to me.
