@mattdeezly1996 I understood it as Marco's control over him was too firm, when he was emotionally manipulating him with the chanting of his name.
@mattdeezly1996 He caved to his father's abusive seduction. The speech and chanting were yet another dose of brainwashing through the breakdown and rebuilding of a dependant confidence.
@mattdeezly1996 As always, we've got an utterly brilliant show being dragged down by Naomi scenes. Badly acted, seemingly pointless and detracting from the interesting stories.
@alexleedee I don't know if it's badly acted, or just very badly written.
They force us to watch this soap family thing that is just so boring compared to the massive universe they created. Such a waste

The episode was OK. Probably the weakest this season though. It feels like they could have trimmed a lot of this run time, especially with the show only having ~13 episodes left before the end. I am still confused about the overall progression and meaning of Naomi's conversations with Phillip.... Can someone possibly steer me in the right direction? his sudden change of heart at the end threw me off.... was he playing Naomi the entire time, or was Marco's control over him too firm, making him want to make up for disappointing him?
The ending did make it worth it though, PURE BADASSERY.
