It felt to me like they were trying to leave us with a cliffhanger coming into hiatus. But it was very uneffective and it also screwed them for having a satisfying resolution to that fight with the time skip. It just feels really poorly planned. And it's upsetting because either we miss the resolution or, for some reason, Logan and Rory have undone all of their growth this season and are willing to stew without resolution for weeks. Either way it's not good.
