Episode 3:
Mari's conflict ended abruptly without real resolution, and even groundwork for that resolution. It was just "oh, yeah, it's fine now". In my eyes that's a significant hit to storytelling. The risks of not fulfilling Lara's goal are already kind of ephemeral, but at least there is a clear motivation. If conflict situations will be resolved same way as with Mari, though... What's even the point of it all?
