This episode was the first one this season that I really liked. The first three failed to captivate me like last season did (Alienated actually made me feel a little alienated because of Aqualad's poorly handled, in my opinion, turn. I think that of all things should have been done on screen and not shown through flashbacks/back story.) If this episode had also failed in this regard, I was prepared to just stop watching.

But it didn't. This episode had good action, solid plot development, and some really good character development, which I think was lacking in the first few. I'm still not sold on this new season, but I'll give it a few more episodes now to see if I like it or not.
