With all of the talking about choice in this week's episode (and paraphrasing of dialogue even) I think it being an unforrunate collision of running arcs, episode plot, and the politics of some of the syndication countries is all but confirmed. Really unfortunate and kind of squirmy to watch on this side of the pond, but I don't think it was intentional. I do think it could've and should've been picked up in editing, but whatever. It didn't kill the episode for me.
