sentences:  Meghan Deans from Tor.com gave the episode a mixed review and wrote that it was "sort of good [but] sort of a terrible idea".She cited the theme of "breaking the cycle of abuse" as a plus for the entry, noting that it was a "revenge story [of] a woman righting the wrongs of her male ancestors and breaking the cycle of violence outside the family".However, Deans was critical of various elements of the episode, most notably, the genetic theory conceit and the idea of a "activator baby" that caused Morrow's past ancestors to work through her.
