Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow.
After last week's action-packed episode, Into the Badlands slowed way down with "Two Tigers Subdue Dragons." Rather than advance the plot with big, showy set pieces, this installment focused more on double dealings and pithy conversations -- most of which did little to progress the overarching story. However, there were some moments that turned the tables on certain characters, which, by effect, signaled more exciting things to come.
The cold open, for example, foreshadowed the oncoming war between Quinn and Jacobee (played by X-Men: First Class's Edi Gathegi), as the Widow and her Butterflies set up a ruse for the two of them. But the big takeaway from this storyline was how Tilda questioned her mother's authority. It's obvious at this point that she will soon defect from the Widow's clan, but how and when remains to be seen. I did think it was interesting how the Widow explained the "cost" of living in a world where women could defend themselves against men. In that way, it's easier to sympathize with the Widow than with Quinn. Still, it's clear that she also craves power -- perhaps even more so than the other Barons -- which is probably where Tilda's lack of faith comes from.
