Wow! I loved this! I didn’t see the end coming, but reflecting jt really made the most sense. This was a wild ride. 

I loved Dana and Kevin’s dynamic and getting the backstory to their relationship.
And Kevin running for Dana. Being stuck in the past for 5 years!!!


I liked Dana and Rufus developing a friendship-ish relationship. I desperately wanted him to be good.

Alice!!!! 😭

Time jumping. I loved Dana trying to explain some history to Rufus before it has even happened. That felt trippy.

The ending was a perfect summation.
