It's been a bit of an uneven last part of the season. Nothing that has been shown has been bad by itself, but taken as a whole the pacing has been way off. I loved the Gemma episode but it was only about her. Then Cobel's episode which again pertained to only her. So now you have two episodes left and you have to rush things which causes huge jumps in plotlines.
For Irving, we last saw him at dinner with Burt who offers to hang out again. Then all of a sudden Burt is in his apartment demanding that he leave which is extremely abrupt. Innie Dylan and his wife had something going, until she just changed her mind out of the blue and decided to tell outie Dylan. What caused this change of heart? We don't really know as we haven't seen them in several weeks. Neither plot development is bad on its own, but both lack any sort of proper build up and development to pay off.
Then you have Mark's will he won't he reintegration, which has gone on since episode 3 and it's unclear what progress, if any, has actually been made. He's had visions and a seizure and a coma(?) and still doesn't remember anything it seems. His innie hooked up with Helle but that was never addressed again as he seems to have stopped going to work entirely.
It's going to take quite a bit for the finale to land everything in a good place entering season 3, but they have generally earned the benefit of the doubt so far.
