Very quick thoughts on "Lucky Day"

shivverI have to run off to an all-day band thing, so we watched the episode early in the morning and I only have a couple minutes to say a few things.
Warning: VERY spoiler-y. Avoid until you've seen the episode.
Another excellent episode! But also very disturbing because people like that exist and have power.
I saw the first clue immediately, though I didn't realize it was a clue until later. I yelled, "Oh! Oh!" and ran the video back to show my husband "Chez Alison" on the wall of the abandoned store the Doctor and Ruby were in. Again, he went, "What? What's that?" and I said, "When I went to my fitting at Chez Alison, the one thing I said was, 'GIVE ME POCKETS!'" I am LOVING these nods backwards! But, I only realized later in the episode - right after the reveal, that it was pointing back at Lance Bennett.
Lance doesn't seem like such an asshole anymore, does he?
I'm starting to wonder if all of the episodes this season have foreshadowing clues. This one pointed right back to "The Runaway Bride" and the main male guest character there. "The Well" had "Toxic", which points back to "The End of the World", but I'm not sure what it was trying to parallel, so I need to go back and think about it. I don't know of any clues from "The Robot Revolution" or "Lux", but perhaps they need a rewatch looking for them. Oh, the sacrifices I make for my fandom!
All right, gotta run.

( Add another Mrs Flood appearance to the list)
Also, I love your comment about “ the sacrifices ( you) make for fandom!!” :D The struggle is real
