'Dark Matter' Season 2, episode 5 is the best kind of filler episode

We love a good standalone episode.From The Last of Us to BoJack Horseman there's a rich tradition among prestige TV shows of episodes that can pretty much be enjoyed by themselves, even if you aren't that familiar with the show itself.With Season 2, episode 5, "Love and Be Loved", Dark Matter joins the ranks. So what happens, why does it work so well, and what does the episode mean in the show's larger context?
