Episode Notes:

  • Jenny’s feeling frustrated
  • Let’s all get mad about… Sarah!
  • Did Carol ever want to be a mom?
  • Amy raped Victoria
  • The vagueness and strangeness somewhat eclipses the awfulness and horror
  • Don’t believe Amy’s lies
  • A mistake so big there have to be consequences
  • The lack of cover-up is striking
  • Amy wanted love but built a sex doll
  • At some point, Amy chose this
  • The way this is written makes it hard to talk about the rape
  • Ted finally starts yelling about Carol
  • Carol abandons Victoria without a second glance
  • “We need to get Grue in here to make sure she can still have hamburgers”
  • Carol was the original black and white thinker
  • Marquis’ aura
  • Carol’s final question
  • Ok we don’t talk about this in the episode but Carol was so internally petty to Sarah in their brief conversation and it’s been what, a month since her son and husband died? How bad is this relationship?
  • Carol looks at Marquis with mastermind-tinted glasses
  • What made Carol connect with Amy and spare her?
  • Does Carol have a thing for a bad boy with a code or is it something less psychosexual?
  • The need for rules
  • Not All Depressed Dads
  • This trigger vision reflected the granted powers
  • This isn’t what the lecture meant by a group trigger event, right?
  • They got what they needed
  • Carol keeps her feelings locked up to avoid feeling weak again
  • Alan’s not a cape and may not be particularly attached to the city
  • A lot will happen in two weeks
  • Will Brockton Bay actually be condemned?
  • What’s Lisa really getting out of this truce?
  • Worm: The Taylor and Amy Musical closes after zero performances
  • Was it easier for Amy to get caught than try to get away with it?
  • Is there anything noble about her decision to go to the Birdcage? 
  • Really good small writing details
  • It’s easier and more interesting to talk about questions that don’t have obvious answers
  • If they’re not willing to kill you, volunteering to get locked up removes everyone’s leverage
  • We don’t even know if Victoria can speak or eat
  • Carol gives up easily
  • Contrasting Marquis and Amy’s powers
  • Was Marquis a better parent than Carol?
