I felt "A Lion in the Streets" was a mess of a two parter.
Like you said above, in a way it was almost two different stories. The "union election" part of the story basically died out in part 2 and we never found out what happened. And the story of Kimo's search for the murderer of his wife and kid also died out... at least in that episode (it was later fleshed out further in the season).
It also got too repetitive, with Komoku being angry and frustrating his wife with his rash actions, over and over again.
This was another episode which should have either been 90 minutes, or cleaned up to be more coherent and continuous.
