Your body is a factory full of slave children.

Impressions:

I feel like this needs to take itself either a lot less seriously, or a lot more. Shots from the outside of all these life shattering crises being little scrapes or itchy scabs seems like such low hanging fruit in the minor joke department, but I guess it doesn't involve anybody screaming, so that's a no go. On the other hand, while it happily stabs and eviscerates the monsters, and merrily talks about how catastrophic to the cell population things are, it's almost comical how it goes out of its way time and time again to prevent anything from happening to any of them. Hell, it even assures us that a literally random White didn't actually die from falling in a hole/cut. You want to be hyperviolent? Let's do it. Give Red something to really be traumatized about and a humorous juxtaposition against your slave schoolchildren.

Either way, this episode was pretty haphazard. I think it was ostensibly about the platelets, but they only showed up at the start and end. Meanwhile, Red all but vanished from the episode at around the halfway point, then popped in again at the end to try to deliver an exceedingly token gratitude speech. Perhaps if we spent less time pausing to cheerfully recite from Biology 101 textbooks, we might've had an opportunity to work either of those things into the episode proper, although if they had more time, they probably would've just made the scar tissue montage even longer and more obnoxious.
