The After Hours is really weird and frustrating - pacing and story-wise

A lot of things felt sped up or abridged and didn’t make sense.

SPOILERS ENSUE:

Why did Irving leave his home and clothes and the town? Wasn’t he investigating something?

Outie Irving doesn’t really know Outie Burt, why would they have actual feelings for each other?

Irving at his age saying that no one has ever loved him felt unrealistic and unearned.

What did Outie Mark and Ms Cobel talk about the rest of the day?

Why is Ms Huang being transferred before Cold Harbor is finished?

Why would innie Dylan resign so easily? He fought for Irving to stay in a similar situation, so seems hypocritical with this action.

Why doesn’t Mr Milchick know that his most important staff aren’t in the office, or that Helly is still in the office after-hours?

Is Mark integrated or not integrated? What was the point of the Reghabi storyline? Why did Mark act ignorant “I just had brain surgery in my basement” as if integration wasn’t his idea?

I’ve been with the season until the Ms Cobel episode, but now it’s starting to feel like the show is less about the characters and their personal arcs, and more about the “mysteries”.

Like why did we need the opening scene of Mr Eagan? Nothing was learned at all other than Helena has a shitty home life.

Sorry. /End rant.
