3.14 Another fairly easy one, with another look at Winn's family, and the need to revisit the Toyman motif even though the 1st time round pretty much worked the seam out. At least it boiled down to an all-too-brief battle, and at least it wasn't in fact the mother having turned (or always been) evil.
One great amusement was spotting that Winn's mother is, in another life, also Sheldon Cooper's mother.
The sideplot with Jonn's father was amusing for the sudden return of a character who'd been entirely absent for weeks. A line about Jonn choosing to stick with Hank's skin does raise the question of why M'ghann last year also conveniently was the same, and even Jonn's dad had spent 200 years in isolation (or whatever, it's been months y'know) and despite taking time to admit Jonn is who he is, he too is already of the same skin.
But that's not particularly relevant, just the set-up for the next episode, and so far a surprisingly well-handled look at dementia (more than Barbara bloody Windsor ever could).
The finale with Lena apparently smarter than her friends was also a good intrigue point.
