Watching this episode called to mind the work of two French writers: Albert Camus’s Candide, in contrast with Jean-Paul Sartre’s Huis Clos, or No Exit. So much of the wonder of this episode belongs, truly, to Marie Avgeropoulos and Ivana Miličević, who have believably brought their characters back from beyond the brink and play out a loving, heartbreaking conflict here without losing any of the humor or toughness that has made Octavia and Diyoza able to survive it all. Quite literally a world apart, it’s a magical hour of television that stands as one of the series’ best episodes.ĭrawing on the longstanding, well-earned redemption arcs of Diyoza and Octavia and their extremely close bond, this episode asks the question “what makes a family?” and “what kind of life would be enough?” Like The Magicians’ highly celebrated “A Life in the Day” before it, the time dilation on Sky Ring allows Diyoza and Octavia to spend a decade raising a child together without losing more than a few days back in Sanctum. “The Garden” flits back and forth through time to introduce us to the world beyond the Anomaly, and by extension, to properly r eintroduce us to Hope and the Anomaly itself, now known as the bridge.
