And I think that as we see the friends, we'll get THEIR backstories. And as we are introduced to the new characters and finish their stories (with help from the author?) we'll see the conflict unfold from the various sides.

I'll post other thoughts, as they relate to the episode, on the episode discussion thread. I thought the same: with S5B they've already started going back from "contrived magical whatsit + flashback explaining the contrivance" to a good balance between that and a S1-style "character of the week forwarding a simpler plot" formula. This new plot twists perfectly sets the ground for something like that, which really thrills me!
