This episode, which relies heavily on flashbacks to preceding episodes of 'TharnType: The Series', does not merely attempt to provide context for Lhong's appalling behavior. It is essentially a bid to render Lhong sympathetic, and his horrible misdeeds, excusable.

It might be plausible for someone suffering from deep loneliness to over-invest in their bond with the one person who has been kind to them, as Lhong does with Tharn. To move from a less-than-healthy attachment to a good friend to the orchestration of a gang rape, blackmail, relationship sabotage, and attempted murder, however, should be too extreme a pivot to elicit pity. And yet eliciting pity is what this "special" tries to do, especially given how it unfolds toward the ending: Lhong's sister comes to learn of his psychological wounds and, completely unaware of the evils that he has done, asks him to forgive her and embraces him.

Kaownah Kittipat does what he can with the character, but Lhong is utterly beyond defense, and at no point do his victims get justice. Why this episode was made at all is beyond me.
