Holy shit, when 'Cousin Larry' popped up as 'Cameron's' doppleganger at the Pierce/Roy Tern Haven playdate, . . . I legitimately had to pause the show from laughing.

This really was a perfectly structured and perfectly timed episode. Gotten to know the Roys enough to appreciate the nuances of their various behaviors and subtexts, and throw them into a funhouse mirror of a social interaction fraught with gravity with an old-money family on their own turf.

Every eye shift, every exhale, every pregnant pause carries significance, and that's before you even start to unravel and map out the schemes and counterschemes and weaknesses and foibles and cluenessness and utter concentration on task all jumbled up and coded into 'an evening among friends.'

That's how dramatic narrative is constructed.
