Daniel's meet w/ Lezly and his interactions with Charlie the Chaplain -- both really good by allowing the viewer to get to know Daniel better. The character Daniel is stunning, if I may say -- or at least the writing of it/him; and Aden's portrayal is other-worldly almost, certainly masterful. The lovely connection Daniel has with Tawney is so delicate and true.

I growled, though, at the Sheriff's betrayal of Ted Jr by telling Foulkes about what he promised to not tell. Brings about a tension, conflict, keeps the 'bad guy' (Foulkes) in the picture and used as a mechanism to elongates the tale which is overly obvious. SIGH.

The near-final moment when Daniel's hand reaches to the music box . . . Wow, just wow. And then his 'hearing' Hannah call to him -- the last "deepening" he had, so to speak -- just brilliant storytelling.
