We love a good corruption arc, almost as much as we love a good redemption arc. Whether your good guys are joining the villains or your bad guys are teaming up with the heroes (or your morally gray characters can’t decide either way), this episode is for you. Featuring such groundbreaking revelations as “it’s not a redemption arc if the character doesn’t actually do anything” and “being hot isn’t the same thing as being redeemed,” this episode covers the worldbuilding, plots, circumstances, and character motivations necessary for a functional and satisfying redemption arc or corruption arc.
