It’s hard not to feel like Season 2, Episode 6, “An Endless Cycle,” is my favorite episode of the entire show. While the title suggests these moments have played out countless times before (and will again), it’s the quiet beauty of getting to live in them that makes this hour so special. Watching Jonas and Martha at the beach, caught in a fleeting moment of peace and possibility, reminds us why this show is worth feeling so deeply about in the first place.
