Because this time he chickened out.
But why? What was different? Each other iteration, nothing significant changed in the behaviors and lives of the characters.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

I liked that each time iteration was slightly different. Not enough to make a difference, but it was nice that they didn't do the EXACT same thing every time. Some things were the same, but not everything.

“Not dead yet!”
Her behavior in this episode was completely normal and not shady in any way, as if the last minute of last week didn't happen. Which gives me hope that she really is just playing Simon.
Please let this be the case.
Also? The actress playing Marcie did a good job with the whole "I was always one step behind everyone and no one bothered asking MEEEEE about MY flash," hurt attitude.
Considering they managed to just sort of shoehorn that in, I was able to buy it.

The new Prisoner airs on UK TV tonight. I'm trying to decide whether to watch it. I heard it got a mixed reception in the US.
