When People Say "How Does XYZ Scene Drive The Plot/Narrative?"
That kinda sentence reminds me of this behaviour: 
"Where's the plot, where's the plot?!?!"
Not every single scene has to drive the plot forward, just saying.
I needed to get that out.

The problem is half the time the game focuses on trivial love sub plots,politics,menstrual cycles,pregnancy,etc which leaves only a small portion dedicated to the progression of the plot. EP4'S plot was to save David which was only a small portion of the overall plot with the rest dedicated to unnecessary arguing,love subplots,etc. So that's my problem with the plot is that half to most of the time is spent on trivial afterthoughts which consume the majority of the focus from the actual story.
I mean, you'd expect a game series that progresses further to have planned out story-lines, sub plots, and brutality better than the previous installments?
Remember what S1 E3 did in just 2hrs? Conflict, abandonment, mystery, murder, comfort, settling down, betrayal, heavy deaths, coping and building/making stronger bonds between characters... the pacing recently, might be the biggest problem of them all.
In general, you can put more content in 2-2.5h episodes than in 1-1.5h episodes.
I counted the hubs + puzzles too in that.
