A disturbing reflection of a family who bases their children's worth in their achievements while not nurturing a relationship outside of what is deemed 'worthy'. Saul has such a laser focus that he acts as though he only has one kid at a time, to the detriment of the family. I don't even know what to say about Miriam. Still not convinced that the temple Aaron has found isn't a rather culty sect of a larger legitimate religion. This is one of those situations where all I can think to fix it is to go back and stop it all from happening. At least at the end, we get to see Eliza starting to take steps toward her own agency.
