Episode Notes: We're really confronting the themes of the work in this arc Jack aaaaalmost manages to stop underestimating Skitter A big L for Jack Twangin’ that bowstring Her key? Stoned. Women and children first for Taylor? Cherish isn't good ~~at manipulation~~, actually Consensus-based decision making among the Undersiders The Skitter-supervillain seesaw Taylor's actually the worst person to try to isolate and defeat like this Regret vs. grief The perils of a narrative that could do anything Coil, buddy. Be more paranoid, and also figure out what gangrene looks like Latin, Cherish? Vere? Self-fulfilling prophecy territory Jenny's death list Bonesaw, the repeated knife block Miasma gothic (she was great in Pearlescent!)
