I can't believe Walt didn't react more to that last-second news.
This was a great one for the further evolution of Henry as a character, even though I always wanted more.
The reservation was the main setting, and the mystery was a bit convoluted.

I liked the way the different narrative groups came together and conveyed in a way that didn't make it feel contrived, just in an 'It really is a small world' kind of way.
