The last episode wasn't a waste of time, as it did fill in some key backstory for understanding the main characters, but it did further undermine my enjoyment of the show -- Now we know that Jesse is a pouty psychopath, who ended his relationship with Tulip, but will flat-out torture the man who came in and treated her very well afterward. And we know that Tulip is an unrepentant criminal who will forgive Jesse for any amount of poutiness and psycopathy (so long as he doesn't get in the way of her criminal career). Why am I wanting to spend time with and rooting for these characters??
