Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...
"Life After Death" was a quieter affair, much like "Falling," but with a whole lot more grieving and 100% less Kat. Where was she anyway? Anyhow, the episode might have spent a little too much time wallowing in the aftermath of "The Devil Will Drag You Down," showing us, once again, that Rosen blames himself for Dani's death, but the whole would up being way more effective than I thought it would be; ending with Rosen and Hicks mutually combining their rage to agree on killing Parish should they ever find him.
Not to take away from David Strathairn, because he's always great, but showing Rosen grieve so heavily while looking through Dani's old things is a little repetitive after "Falling," in which he did similar things after learning she was the mole. Yes, her death should weigh heavily on his soul but, in a sense, he's lost her twice now. It's also worth mentioning that Hicks asked Nina to push him in order to forget about Dani, which seems to be a TV theme this season; even looking back to Dani wanting to forget Rosen via a chip implant.
