The Bullet That Saved the World was one of those episodes that lull you into a false sense of normalcy bordering on boredom before unleashing what it has in store. When that moment came, the story was merciless, bearing its weight on characters and on the viewers with a ruthless but logical determination. The episode wasn't so much about the bullet in the title as it was about the people for whom it was more than a keepsake, the parents for whom the bullet was a promise for better days and the daughter for whom it was a connection to a lost paradise she would not see again.
