I think it has more to do with self-interest for Roman- He probly recognized Blake and Sun, and knew that if they were not taken care of, they would expose his and Cinder's plans. Since he was likely part of the team that stole the paladin mech, it makes sense that he would have some idea of how to operate it- the white fang members likely wouldn't know how, so considering that, I think it makes good sense for Roman to be the one controlling the mech. As for the people on the highway, I guess their involvement was intended to showcase Roman's utter ruthlessness. So, while you're entitled to your opinion, I don't think the writing of this ep should be dismissed so quickly. There's also plenty of interesting new plot points in this one, like our new friend Neo, what happened to Junior's men, etc.
