It just felt like there was a lot of unrealised potential for drama there, like their separation was building to something and wasn't just an excuse to get Gerry and Nima alone in order to reveal Nima's backstory, but I guess that's all it was. I mean they did need to get Nima's backstory out of the way, it just felt like there was more potential there story-wise. It should be noted, however, that as a writer myself I am obsessed with narrative structure.
