I think this is part of what makes this episode fall flat. Like a teenager masturbating to child porn on his computer is awful, obviously, but is it "be forced into a televised fight to the death with a grown man" awful?

Part of what made White Bear work is that the protagonist was revealed to be someone who kidnapped, abused and then murdered a child, and the weight of those actions almost makes understandable why the town does what they do

Then this episode tries to pull the same "gotcha" moment but with a much weaker premise and it just didn't land at all

See that's the exact opposite of how I feel about White Bear. It's way overdone because she played a part in that child's suffering, but she was confirmed to be the accomplice and not the main perp. The man who killed himself in prison deserved every bit of that punishment, and while she deserved... something for conspiring with him that wadn't it , chief.
