Episode Notes:

• As far as we can tell, Imp’s power can’t affect readers the same way it affects Taylor
• Sorry, Taylor, it’s favor time
• Lisa is reasonable but not fully believable
• She can fake a grin but not a frown
• Lisa had Taylor’s number though: she just wanted to be included in the atrocity
• Honestly maybe “defeat and kidnap Victor” was plan B to “Chosen ceasefire and Coil recruits Victor” until 15.2 made clear to Lisa that it wouldn’t go over well with Aisha and Taylor
• Lisa is a horrifying and villainous opponent
• A mortifying ordeal of being known for an eye
• What happens when somebody calls Taylor’s bluff?
• A brief remembrance of the Victoria-that-was
• Well, doesn’t Regent have to use his power, Taylor?
• Do we trust the Regent Taylor sees? Even after his interlude?
• Moral accommodations for Regent and “conscience accommodations” for Taylor
• This is a classic Animorphs argument
• Lisa is the best at debate and Regent is the worst
• The Undersiders’ rep is definitely going to be a narrative problem
• Victor couldn’t have acquired empathy and compassion with his power by now?
• Victor sucks, but also Othala sucks
• Who would even be making up rumors that Taylor is Jewish anyway????
• Ted concedes
• Lisa’s Potemkin justifications
• The humor in this arc is great
• It’s fun to see someone mostly unaffected by Lisa’s bullshit… and for Lisa to win anyway
• Small observations and predictions
