Episode 2 of Michonne isn't standalone--there's three episodes total!
I would definitely give it to Broken Toys. Choices that carried a pretty significant impact, great character development for most of the characters, an emotional roller coaster, and a third act that made me more nervous and anxious than I have ever been playing this game.
My overall ranking would be:
Michonne is still a series regardless of its episode count, and episode 2 is a damn good penultimate episode. The very definition of short and sweet, but anywaaaays. Easily "Broken Toys". Its beautifully paced, spends a great deal on its main cast and has a stressful and difficult last act filled with heart pounding scenes and choices. It ends ambiguously but not as directly shocking as previous penultimate outings. It just sorta ends without giving you a character to be worried about since everyone is potentially fucked (but not really). It's a better done version of the shootout in season 2 basically since we knew it was gonna happen but forgot because of being caught up in the moment. Rather than "oh someone fired a gun now we all shoot bang bang"
Overall tho
1. Broken Toys
2. Give No Shelter
3. Thicker Than Water
4. Around Every Corner
5. Amid the Ruins (Still a solid episode tho!)
Broken Toys definitely. I rank them based on memorable moments and overall impact. Broken Toys had the party, the cell scene, Louis' broken state, the euphoric murder of Lilly, Lee's flashback, even the Walker/windchime scene, weirdly enough, all of these are scenes I have a deep love for.
The rest of them there are only bout 2 to 3 things maximum I can pull from each of those other episodes. And not all of them are impactful for me, but more like a "That. Is. Hilarious. Inna bad way" moment or a "How are we in this situation right now??" moment.
