^ I just watched it and my wife and I were staring at each other in disbelief. She hated it, but I loved the balls it took to keep a full shot without edits like that in a show that is predicated on quick dialogue and rapid escalation of events. Even the choice of camera angle was bizarre and unique. Totally out of left field. There's been nothing like that in this show ever.

Overall, this was a weird episode in terms of tone and production. I can't figure out if they shot this during the height of the pandemic, or if it happened later when everyone had vaccines. The prodigious use of facetime/teleconference apps was either acknowledging what has happened, or done out of necessity. Either way, it was jarring.
