I could only keep drawing parallels in Babs' performance to Jamis in Dune. It's like he brought the tension in that fight scene with Paul Atreides to the entirety of this episode. He is an amazing actor, and I love how he brings this mystery to M'benga, and how writers continue to peel his layers away as the series progresses.

I would like to see an Otegas focused episode though. While there was some focus with her in this episode, it was definitely overshadowed by M'benga and Chapel.

His acting skills run circles around the rest of the cast. Babs reminds me of Patrick Stewart's elevated performances in TNG.

All of M'benga's episodes are sitting at the top of best SNW episodes.
