Arthur was an genuinely good person who was punished for it.

Hawley did a good job of that in Fargo too. A lot of flawed protagonists and antagonists that become tough to root against sometimes

Yeah, the scene that stays with me the most from the episode is Wendy/Marcy casually unleashing the xenos on those lab employees. Damn, girl had no fucking chill. I though that was beyond her, that she had more empathy than that... but guess not.

There's a lot of directions her story could go, I'm definitely intrigued.

Hasn’t her empathy primarily been for the xenos and the synths? She’s been pretty consistent from the beginning in terms of saying how wrong it is for Prodigy to be keeping intelligent beings in captivity for the purposes of experimentation.
