“I Know What You Did 33 Summers Ago” is a little bit of a filler episode, but it meets both the entertainment and plot-forwarding thresholds easily enough. It’s also putting in work as the ante-penultimate episode of the season, reminding veteran viewers of all the reasons why what’s happening is unfolding while quickly bringing new viewers up to speed. This episode has four main movements, which I’m calling To Catch A Predator, Maximum Quirkiness, The Empire Strikes Back, and What Do We Do Now?
