Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
“Eat, Pray, Liv” felt a bit overly busy at times, juggling as many subplots as it was, but most of it was very solid material, with several characters plotlines furthered.
Poor Blaine. Seeing him watch Liv and his new pal Justin (adorably) experience the joy of video game dance, while absorbing his own grim fate, was a really well done moment. Major's issues also managed to dovetail with Blaine’s storyline, thanks to Ravi’s new, new cure, which may be able to save him minus the memory loss... unless it's fatal.
I’ve been a bit bummed that Ravi’s storyline for awhile has really only been centered on his feelings for Peyton, but here things got much more intense in that regard. Liv calling him out on not just talking her was well needed, and at the same time it was great to see Ravi bring up Blaine’s awful drug dealing/torture/murder background, as it’s important that all of those events aren’t just forgotten. Blaine’s memory loss is a device to keep him around on the show long past the point it would likely be sustainable for him as a straight up villain, but I always worry of what happened with Spike on Buffy occurring - where it feels like the writers strain to overlook past atrocities because they have a cool character played by a charismatic actor. Blaine and David Anders performance as Blaine have been a great part of the show, but… he did torture and kill people!
