Question

 The first two episodes of the new season were exciting, don't get me wrong.  But ....

 

.....   there was a total disconnect between the end of the first episode and the beginning of the second episode.   I was scratching my head as to what was going on.  If they were all working for Nixon, why did they have to pretend to be on the run from the FBI, with the various associated Faked Death and Faked Imprisonment theatrics?   I felt there was like 15 minutes of exposition between the episodes that got cut in the final edit.

Did you miss the bit where Canton finally sealed the Doctor in and they discussed the reason for the deceit?

The Silence are everywhere controlling everyone that matters through subliminal instructions. Ergo they needed to be tricked into thinking Canton was on side and dealing with their biggest threat.

It still felt like there was a scene or two missing. It was bit of sloppy transition.

Oh, well. I otherwise enjoyed the ep.
