It just felt uninspired, a lot of "more of the same." Doesn't help that it bears the cliched theme of "family is important." Can't tell you … morehow sick I am of stories about family bonding. Clem not being the protagonist (like in season one, in case people forgot) was the least of the problems.

Oh no, that one was practically SAVED by the twist.
Even if it was blatantly out there for the character doing it.
Well, yeah. Like I said, it was kinda clever.
