Summary
The looped structure of If-Then-Else is impossible to ignore. The simplified simulation lampoons the common elements but otherwise, it's the variable elements that stand out. Of these, Shaw's trials with the would-be suicide-bomber are some of the most dramatic. Her repeated attempts to defuse his rage and despair tie into the episode's titular theme of choices and consequences, as well as into the show's continued exploration of empathy.
