Previous episode was a mixed success, but everything that was bad in it is amplified in this one.
It's only people shooting to no avail, then a 20 minute speech where the big villain just narrates what should have been the season's main story: the whole plan, what happened that we didn't see, the link with the flashbacks, everything that apparently everyone but Alexandra knew, yet somehow failed to act on this knowledge. That is a huge storytelling failure for the season, as well as extreme bad pacing for the episode.
And a looot of it makes little sense. She has 4 other siblings we never hear of ? Her mother just let her father kill her baby and put her soul in a knife or something ? Nobody was supposed to know she was the 6th child, but the emissary of death was aware of it ? And if some of the tribes knew about it and even fought about it during her trial, why does nobody act on this knowledge ? Why do nobody ever tell her about it ? How is Talagbusao actually aware of all this ?

Ending is not great either, pretty standard.
A shame.
