Yes, we all know the mystery of suffering, but the way this episode went was too melodramatic and contrived. There was no real build-up, and the timing was too soon, if they wanted to "teach the audience about suffering." I think they needed at least another episode to build such tension. But a sword-wielding maniac swinging his sword around, was too much. I was shocked, but not because of the story, but because of the choices that were made.
I think the writers and director missed a great opportunity here. They missed an opportunity to tap into a more biblical situation, such as the Tower of Siloam as told in Luke 13:4-5. I think that would have been more appropriate, and the "lesson on suffering" would have been more realistic and palatable.
I give this episode two stars: the acting was good.

My parents remember this show when they were teenagers, and so we decided as a family to watch the series together.
Wow! What a treat! The writing in a lot of episodes is excellent, and many episodes could make a movie all it's own, enough to put modern tv series to shame. Many characters are woven into the series and once in a while make reappearances.
The acting is phenomenal. Hugh O'Brien is perfect for this role. His range of acting can range from comical to sheer wrath.
We have a friend that talks about the Gibb-slap, a reference to the TV series NCIS. Now we have a running joke: the Earp-slap! There are scenes where O'Brien surprises real genuine slaps so suddenly! No mere acting here!

The Prestige has garnered great reviews, so I am certain I will be stepping on some toes here.
A friend wanted to watch the movie again, and invited us to see it.
The movie's premise is intriguing-dueling magicians trying to outdo the other, no matter the consequences. Without giving any spoilers, the story became so fanciful. The acting was great, Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, and Michael Caine! But the script was too focused on the next tantalizing twist and too contrived that made the film almost seem silly.
It is an intriguing film, yet melodramatic and way over the top.
I could no longer suspend my disbelief.
