It’s the first episode with “Writer – Jane Espenson” as its credit (who was also one the five people who were either an executive producer or co-executive producer of this season) – mentioned as she has some sort of writer credit on half the season, on Ep3, Ep5, Ep7, Ep8, and Ep10 and so can be said to be RTD’s second-in-command for the writing. (Though she’s written of the writer’s room method of scripting this season, emphasising that although certain writers scripted episodes, it really was a collaborative process as they talked longer than planned to ensure all the smaller plots meshed correctly)....
