In the episode, Van's old friend finds her in Paris and is astounded by her new personality and her strange hobbies.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.152 million household viewers and gained a 0.1 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received critical acclaim, with critics praising the writing, Zazie Beetz's performance, Alexander Skarsgård's guest appearance, humor and emotional tone. However, some were critical of the decision to not include the rest of the characters, as well as relegating Earn to a post credits scene, feeling it did not work as a season finale.
