Gaga and this episode were so polarizing

It went from great to bad constantly. I'm so confused by this season. There are moments that truly seem GREAT and moments that feel so out of place. The same thing is happening with Gaga. There were scenes were she NAILED it and then scene that she felt out of it. I don't really know to explain it properly
I think i did like this episode. Ramona's backstory was great. Angela Bassett is such a BEAST.
