Well it is season 2 and the writers can now enjoy the luxury of doing something they could not do in S01 which is go deep into arcs that highlight the quirky characters they have created. Because by now the audience "gets" these people and they are like family.
The episode is also unusual is how it jumps around between the character arcs, resembling more a soap opera than an episode of prime time TV. My view is that the writers are showing off a bit, and they are entitled.
Voight remains the knockout. My feeling is that he is not properly acknowledged for his work. He has done character parts in dozens of films and TV shows but his work here, accent and all, is off the wall. Hard to remember there was an episode a while back were Ray tried to kill him.
Glad the attempt failed!
