Well it only took one episode for me to be proved wrong on that! Nice to finally see some advancement on Rose's situation at long last, but once again I think the problem that's cropped up in these early S2 episodes is that the flashbacks have really outgrown their usefulness. We know the stories of these characters to the point where the flashbacks just stop the action cold completely and don't give us any meaningful insight that we didn't already have.
