While it isn't quite as good as its predecessor "Mornings," excepting the penultimate episode, it is the best in the series so far.
The series takes on a dramatic turn as Dev and Rachel's relationship hits significant bumps before finally crumbling into pieces. Hopefully the show will bring Rachel back eventually, but the way I see it, it probably wouldn't be for quite a while. This is the first episode in a long time that featured all of Dev's close friends, and that's part of what made it so great: the supporting cast to this show is fantastic. I'd say collectively, they're even better than Anzari.
I loved the part about the fig tree, although it might've been a little artsy for some, I thought it was nice. While, of course, the quotes were not created by the show in that scene, the passage is one of the most tragic truths about all people, especially those with potential. The tacos metaphor you see earlier in the episode also relates to this: Dev spends so much time trying to pick which taco place he wants that once he finally chooses, they're all out of tacos.
The directing was great, as was the writing, and the acting. The comedy was surprisingly few and far between in this episode, but was still great. The MVP was absolutely Alan Yang, who was gut-busting throughout the episode.
Leaves you craving the next season, even if it's not quite as good as the episode that came before it.
In the Top Fifty.
