#episode 3x17: Sunday

[stinalotte]

Six (or rather, three) ways from Sunday

I'm not gonna warn for Spoilers because come on, we're over a decade after the fact.

I just watched Sunday for the third time in my life and had my heart ripped out just like the last two times.

The first time, I saw it on TV when it aired. I was so shocked that I literally stopped watching the show. Like, I turned off the TV, said nope, can't do this, and stopped.

The second time, it was my rewatch around 2016 or 2017, and I had completely forgotten about the plot or the fact that I had stopped watching because of how shocked I was. I didn't even remember when the title came on or when they mentioned the explosions. I didn't remember literally until the very moment the last bomb went off.

So if you want to know the emotional equivalent of taking a rusty blunt knife and twisting it in scar tissue, there you go. I bawled my eyes out and had to go for a walk even though I was sick with influenza at the time and could barely make it down the stairs.

I did decide to power through and watch the rest of the season (and the two subsequent ones) that time, but man, that hurt.

And now for the third time: I'm on my second rewatch — not binging it, mostly just one episode per day, if even that. I'm pacing myself. Only I was inching closer and closer to Sunday and this time I knew what was in store. And still I'm sitting here crying.

I think one of the reasons this episode hits so hard is because everything that comes before the third act is so lighthearted. I love seeing glimpses of everyday life, people wearing jeans instead of uniform, friendships, people playing and having lunch together (go get your man, Liz, he cute!), people just having a life and hobbies (Lorne you absolute gem, you're an ARTIST!). You get a real sense of the community that has formed.

Another reason is because of how the big blow - pardon the expression - comes at a time when the audience has just breathed a sigh of relief. Carson gets the tumor out, the bomb disposal unit takes over, he radioes the others, everything is okay.... And then it all collapses in an instant and suddenly there's a eulogy and a coffin and 50 people in the gateroom desperately trying to keep it together.

Of course, this time I was screaming for someone, anyone to take Carson fishing the whole time. God, the guilt they must have felt. (And yes, it's nobody's fault, but still - when you lose someone, you ask yourself, what if I had done X or Y or Z differently. It's human nature.)

Man, what an episode. I'm gonna need some time to recover from this one.

One thing though, and I say this with all due respect for the gravity of the story: hot damn, Sheppard in dress blues is FOINE. Sorry for your loss, babe, but dayum!

Here’s another. And because I think the parallels will run through, it’s not about clearing Liz’s name, it’s about clearing Agnes’ lol. She’s not a Keen. She’s a Ressler. That’s why Liz isn’t being placed on their wanted list. 

“He was - much better at this than I am. He never would have let Agnes get taken into custody.”

The Kills - Sour Cherry 

Agnes with her cherry shirt in Kuwait episode. That’s why Aram let Liz go with Agnes. For the same reason Ressler let Liz go. They’re gonna clear Agnes’ name. Ressler will be the one to save Agnes just as Aram was there to save Liz.

Little Red is gonna stop breathing. Like the girl in Rizal’s episode.

Behind The Scenes Video:

Since the press release of 3x23 and the one of the Finale, this episode is treated more like a filler. I believe that’s wrong since the plot might not be as straightforward as we think.

The basic plot is given by the Press Release of the Episode and is supported by the promotional video and promotional photos.

Chloe Decker is engaged and so a hen party occurs where Charlotte and Maze seem to collide on what is the best way to celebrate. Maze clothes suggest that her plan is set and tries to make things as proper and easy as possible whereas Charlotte -who can afford the party bus- organizes a wild and alcohol filled night for the whole gang. The Tribe, in short, is back yet everyone seems to have their own agenda.

Maze still wants to return to Hell so she gets to the precinct in a curly hairdo... There we see Chloe with her hair down having lunch with Marcus and so it is apparent that Maze is willing to overstep boundaries in order to check on his immortality or lack of. Her plan as always is to make sure that Chloe will not only stay with Marcus but convince her she is in love and her choice is the right one and perhaps just perhaps put some seeds of doubt for Lucifer’s mental stability.

Charlotte is still working with Amenadiel and cannot quit now. In the Amenadiel supplied short version, Chloe should be with Lucifer as this might give Charlotte a chance to avoid Hell the second time around. Things also seem to escalate by 3x23 where nightmares return but with a twist. Also, this episode has many of the characters come to terms with what relationships are all about. I believe that in this episode Charlotte might at the end go to Dan and start a more meaningful and close relationship which we will see more clearly in 3x23…

Linda has broken up with Amenadiel but as we know her experience with Reese (her ex-husband) has given her a perspective which she may share with the group. What perspective? A relationship in which she felt trapped as she said in 3x07. Now if you want to understand Marcus and Charlotte or even the relationship between Marcus and Chloe, you should rewatch 3x07. As a key character, Linda does not only know Lucifer’s darkest deeds like killing Uriel but she knows that Lucifer was ready to confess his love for Chloe. When drinks are involved a lot of secrets might be spilt… And when those secrets are the unadulterated truth what can a Demon do?

Lastly, we have Ella. Ella has shown to be on Marcus’ side for the past episodes but she does acknowledge that what Chloe and Lucifer have is on a whole different level. Most importantly though she was with him in Vegas. Ella knows why he married Candy and all it takes is one little tipsy nerd to set the record straight…

As you can see every character has something to say that night but what exactly happens in that episode? That’s the purpose of this post after all… 

Okay so let’s begin!

Chloe Decker is seen having lunch with Marcus early in the episode as far as I can tell but I believe that Marcus somehow gets Chloe away from Lucifer when the new case comes in thus making Lucifer and Dan work together. The hen party is also a very good excuse to make it all about him... Also, there is a scene between Dan, Lucifer and Chloe in the conference room where Lucifer wears his suit, meaning they are not yet at the case or they are at the very end of the episode... I bet on the first possibility.  

Here the most important spoiler is that Chloe wears her hair up in a bun. That hairstyle is usually done when Chloe needs to be seen as a professional in her line of work but also when she confronts Lucifer.

What is also interesting is that Maze and Linda wear the same dress in this episode or someone forces Linda out of or even steals it… Weird I know… 

Also Lucifer’s scene is played behind Rachel Harris in that dress while Tom Ellis is still wearing a costume meaning that something might be said like,  put yourself in her shoes which might take a literal meaning as Maze is dressed in Linda’s dress and Lucifer changes clothes. 

As @kikitsa-di noted at a promotional pic Lucifer seems to imitate Chloe’s posture. That’s, of course, normal as Lucifer in this episode according to Henderson in TvLine, will try to understand why Chloe took the decision to accept Marcus proposal.

So for the first time, Lucifer will try to understand Chloe by imitating her. Probably it will work to an extent but I foresee some painful moments of realization near the end…

The real story in this episode begins with The Tribe getting in the Fun Bus but also Dan and Lucifer working together. Their paths do cross later in that episode but in order to understand what is going on, unfortunately, we will have to separate the two events although they will play at the same time on our screens and probably be conected in a hilarious yet bittersweet way. 

First, we will take the case that Dan and Lucifer are assigned which involves a dog show but so many more locations as well…

Everything seems to begin at the Dog Show event at the Pacific Palm Resort. There we see Lucifer along with Dan and Ella at the crime scene and II do believe that sooner or later they might return to that venue but we shall see as nothing is sure about them returning to the show but hey, you never know.. 

*The Dog Show location also provides a chasing scene*

Lucifer around this time seems to change his clothes, presumably in order to understand how Chloe thinks and acts. For the first time he takes time to see Chloe from a different perspective and the result of this experiment if you can call it that or therapy exercise by Linda for all we know, might be fruitful. PS I love the grey shoes! 

The next stop for our favourite Devil and Douche is probably at the Dog Spa where Lucifer is trying to extract some information from the groomers and at that point, we get to see the Spa’s doggy pool… I do wonder if Lucifer will be in the mood for inappropriate jokes in this episode... Perhaps he will manage to stay in character and I would love to hear Ella saying how an amazing method actor Lucifer is by trying to imitate Chloe… Yeah, doubtful but hey I have said weirder things that have made the cut!.

PS Marcus bike was spotted on set when they were shooting 3x22 but we don't know if it will indeed appear in the episode.

The third stop for Lucifer and Dan is the liquor store or at least a parking lot. Not much is known from that scene but we do know that the favourite duo will ride a lot of miles together during the day but also at night which brings us to how they will meet the Fun Bus and The Tribe near the Roosevelt Hotel or inside it. More about this at the end of The Tribe’s section!

So The Tribe is back… What we see is that Maze has prepared something different for the hen party but as would luck have it cakes didn’t really work for her so Charlotte took over. If we believe the BTS Charlotte was also the one who came up with the T-shirts that show Chloe as a comic figure in a wedding dress and veil + a photograph of her face on it. That woman is sure crafty… and this time presumably with God’s blessing! 

In between the takes in WB, there was something like a  barn to which some of the cast and crew took some photos of them sitting on the stairs and drinking their large cocktails. Also what that implies is that Dan and Lucifer will find themselves on the bus at some point near the end of the episode.

We know very little about what is going on the bus itself. Yet what we do know is that it’s mostly about how the girls have a good time but as Charlotte will let Maze *politely* know before they boarded on the Fun Bus, this is war. So do expect several moments of truths, hilarious excuses and downright deathly glares between Maze and almost everyone else as well as a roll of the eyes for at least one of Ella’s comments.

You may ask that’s it? That’s the purpose of the whole episode? Not really. 

You see first whether before or after the Fun Bus we meet Trixie who might give her mum a solid advice if she meets Marcus. Trixie may act in this episode as one of the catalysts for not only Chloe’s engagement dissolvement but the start of Maze coming to her more human-like senses. I mean the kid did have a ‘girl power!’ message on her shirt (watch the BTS video)

Additionally, in this episode we see probably Charlotte talking with Marcus and that talk will not end well again. If the speculation is correct about Charlotte being killed by Marcus in 3x22 then the scene between the two characters at the station’s garage will be the reason why. (Please note that Tricia might have posted a photo of the WB garage so treat this as a wild speculation.)

And now the point of the 100th Deckerstar meet-cute. Let’s be honest who hasn’ watched The Holiday? 

In film and television, a meet cute is a scene in which a future romantic couple meets for the first time. This type of scene is a staple of romantic comedies.

At some point near the end of the episode, the Tribe gets close to the Roosevelt Hotel. The cast and crew also shot some scenes inside the hotel that night... At that location, The Tribe might find some things that we as the audience might not have been expecting to see in 3x22. 

PS There is a hidden door behind the library of the Rosevelt Hotel which might be used for the episode so beware of who is behind it.

Here is also the point where possibly Lucifer and Dan meet the Tribe. We know they will be driving at night talking and they will meet them on the bus so the Tribe might eventually team up in order to take down the murder of 3x22′s case

As you know it is impossible to know everything but I do believe that Chloe after the ride, watching some of  Lucifer’s actions -perhaps also Marcus’ - as well as Trixie’s displeasure over the whole engagement thing might be why she will decide to take a step back. 

You have to realise this. In order for Chloe and Lucifer coming so close in 3x23, then 3x22 should change Marcus and Chloe’s relationship on a fundamental level and irreversibly.

6 AM (GR) Sunday Edit: I realised I forgot to add DB twitter post in the speculation. As we know Amenadiel will have a chit-chat with Charlotte because that is to be expected by her actions in this episode but we also see in one of the photos Lesley Ann along with DB Woodside. 

As I mentioned before I expect all the characters to get something out of this episode. Especially the members of the Tribe. Therefore do not be too surprised if Amenadiel and Maze have a talk at some point probably around the end. After all, if someone can relate to Maze is Amenadiel of S2 who desperately wanted to go home and was ready to sacrifice everything for it...  

The End of 3x22 - All Hands On Decker Spoilers and Speculation Post.

Remember to have fun in this episode as everything goes down for Marclo in this episode and Deckerstar will rise once more in the next one!

TDB Rewatch: Dance With Somebody (3x17)

And we’re back with the rewatch - welcome to Season 3! This week we’re doing Dance With Somebody!

Mercedes, Kurt, Santana, and Rachel pay tribute to Whitney Houston, causing Will to discuss the famous icon with Emma. He decides that Whitney Houston may be a good way to start to say goodbye as New Directions will be losing members soon due to graduation. Blaine accuses Kurt of cheating with another guy he met at the music store who texts him and compliments him daily. Santana and Rachel grow closer after a Whitney duet and as Joeassists Quinn with her therapy, she seems to be making progress.

The episode was directed by Paris Barclay and written by Ross Maxwell.

Sundays: Pretty much the kick off day for the week, and also where Meta Monday and First Listen Friday are distilled into.  So – do that rewatch, dust off that old meta, listen to that music again, then write about it and put it in the tags!

Tuesdays: Will remain the poll, the results will be on Saturdays as usual.  

Thursdays: Will remain TBT – and I encourage you to post the gifsets, old interviews, memes, and fanfics – anything related to the episode.  

Instead of doing a round up – tag with “tdb rewatch” “todaydreambelievers” or “spaceorphan18″ and I’ll reblog it here so everyone can take a look at it.  Also - have any prompts for fanfics related to the episode, or headcanon kickstarters? Feel free to tag me, too, and maybe we can get some good discussions going.  I hoping that by reblogging - it’ll start more conversations and/or get things moving a little more than things were in season 1.  

As usual - don’t feel bound to my schedule - if you have something from season 1 you’d like to have out there, still tag me! I’ll reblog it with the correct episode tag.

SCORPION S4 NEWS UPDATE

SPOILERS, KINDA, BUT NOT REALLY: 

The annual Scorpion season wrap party/event happened this past weekend. This year it was a team Bowling event on Sunday, March 11th 

The Scorpion S4 DVD extras material (cast & crew ���interviews”) segments were filmed the past week. 

The filming of the S4 finale, ep 422 is happening...right now. They are ON LOCATION ... to film the “case” parts of the episode

UPDATE 1: They have re-scheduled the 3x17 "Dirty Seeds, Done Dirt Cheap” re-run...again... for the third time... now for April 2nd, 2018. (Yes, we get 2 eps in a row... 419 on March 19th & 420 on March 26th, and then a break... and then 421 .. and then 422/Finale) And it’s only my personal opinion,  but IMO it is necessary to re-watch this episode prior to the finale...last 2 eps... (and also re-watch 307, 404 & recent baby-plot eps...for Quintis parts) before last episodes. It helps, tremendously, if you remember those eps (hopefully the show did good on continuity... too) when watching the events of last few eps... personal storylines. 

UPDATE 2: The last two directors of the season are: Jeff T. Thomas for 4x21 (the penultimate ep) & Sam Hill for 4x22 (the S4 finale) And I am gonna start updating the guest cast list (master post), soon, too...for last two eps. 

UPDATE 3: S4 has now officially wrapped filming. Last scenes were filmed on Friday, March 16th! Now post-production work starts/continues... until the last two eps air in April (4x21 either April 9th or 16th & 4x22 on April 23rd) 

EXTRA: I am working on a list of episodes to re-watch before the end of the season. I really should have finished the list & posted it before 418 already, but... I didn’t. I will now. Planning to get it done today...or in next few days. Posted! 

[the-wandering-whumper]

I never had the chance to watch Lois and Clark growing up, but I must say that I love the gifs you are putting up. They are a gift and I think Dean Cain should be added to the list of men who whump really really well. And do you by chance have an whump episode list so I can watch them?

Thank you! Comments like this are like oxygen to me. Seriously, it makes all the time and effort I put into making those gifs well worth it. And thank you for all your support, @shadow-warren! You are an amazing human being!So yes, L&C. One of the few shows where I own all the DVDs. It was such a staple of my teenage years and I adore it, even now. In fact, all those gifs have triggered the need for a rewatch.Here are the best ones to watch for whump:1x08 The Green, Green Glow of Home1x12 All Shook Up (Clark looses his memory)1x21 The House of Luthor 2x01 Madame Ex (shot)2x07 That Old Gang of Mine (Clark gets shot and “dies”. This happens right in front of Lois who doesn’t know his secret yet so he has to play along and pretend he’s really dead. It’s a fantastic ep)2x12 The Eyes Have It (Clark goes blind)2x14 Top Copy2x22 And The Answer Is...3x02 Ordinary People3x06 Don’t Tug On Superman’s Cape (phases like The Flash and gets really weak)3x07 Ultra Women (loses his powers, gets roughed up a bit)3x11 Home Is Where the Hurt Is (Clark gets sick)3x12 Never on Sunday (panic attacks)3x17 Seconds (attacked with a type of energy weapon)3x20 It’s a Small World After All (he gets shrunk and it’s adorable)3x21 Through a Glass, Darkly4x02 Battleground Earth (demolecularized, fight scene, exposed to Kryptonite.)4x04 Soul Mates (there isn’t much whump, but if you are a Dean Cain fan AT ALL, watch this one)4x05 Brutal Youth (angst galore)4x14 Meet John Doe & 4x15 Lois & Clarks4x22 The Family Hour, there’s no whump in this one, but it has one of the most beautiful, poignant scenes of the entire series when Lois and Clark discuss their inability to have children together. I tear up just writing about it. That list is long enough :). While I’m sure there are more whump eps, I hope that gets you started at least. If an ep doesn’t have a description, assume the whump was due to Kryptonite. Lois and Clark is an amazing show that deserved so many more seasons. Hatcher and Cain’s chemistry was out of this world, too. I hope you get the chance to watch some of it. It can be cheesey (oh boy, can it be cheesey) but there’s no denying the heart behind it all. Thanks again, my friend!!

CS Storybook--6x03 Update

Three weeks ago we announced plans for an upcoming second edition of the Captain Swan Storybook.  (If you missed the initial post, you can find it here.)  Several of you have already signed up for episodes in which to set your story, but there are still plenty of really good CS moments left!

Under the cut is a list of episodes with some of the best Captain Swan moments.  Those that are already taken have been crossed off, but everything else is fair game.  If you haven’t signed up for a story yet (or if you’re an artist/edit maker who is interested in helping to “illustrate” the book) send an ask to @csstorybook or an ask or message to @whimsicallyenchantedrose. The more people who sign up, the better our storybook, our tribute to our favorite Pirate and Savior, will be!

The deadline for signing up for a story is June 4—that’s SUNDAY, but don’t wait too long!  We are looking for only one story per episode, so if you wait, someone else may take your favorite!

After June 4, current participants may check out the list of still-available episodes and sign up for a second if they choose.

Agnes, The Pharmacist, and Keenler baby. 

Agnes is the only person who makes sense to me, so that’s my guess as to who The Pharmacist is for. This post is likely to end up all over the place, so bear with me as I try to cover everything.

As you know, I’ve firmly stood behind the Keenler baby theory since it was first presented to me. Not so much with how people saw it back in S3, but stood behind the very concept of it, and felt it fit perfectly in line with the second memory wipe Liz went through with Dr. Krilov. 

Why I’m knocking Red off my list. 

Aside from Liz telling Cooper that Red used him, used his decency? 

Twice this season, they’ve had Liz complain about Red’s agenda. 

In 6x1 - 

Liz: I thought we were past this. Red: What’s that? Liz: Alternate agendas. You giving us cases without telling us why. Using us to catch the people you can’t.

In 6x3 -

Dembe: I need to speak with him privately for Raymond. It cannot be recorded. Liz: He always has his own agenda. What is it this time?

This is half the reason I’m knocking Red off my list. The other half has to do with Red as a person, and how things are worded in The Pharmacist’s episode. As you also know, when JB mentioned two females in Ressler’s life, that took my mind straight to the Keenler baby theory because Ressler is in love with Liz. Here’s where I bring in Ressler’s comments. 

6x1 -

Ressler: So we’re still doing his bidding. Cooper: I’m sorry, Agent Ressler? Ressler: Reddington. He shot an unarmed man in FBI custody just so that Keen couldn’t identify that skeleton that he’s been lugging around like his life depended on it.

Ressler: The ID on the dead guy turned up as fake, but we sent the prints to Interpol and we got a hit. Red: Tell me. Ressler: Not until you tell us why you gave us this case, because it obviously wasn’t so we could arrest Dr. Koehler and expose his clients. Red: Hans Koehler was a friend of mine. I suspected he was being held against his will. I wanted to save his life. Sadly, I failed.

Ressler has his own stake in it because they’re gonna find out Agnes is his daughter. This takes me to his dialogue regarding The Pharmacist. 

The Pharmacist is a priority. 

6x3 -

Ressler: He’s in federal prison about to start the legal fight of his life. I don’t know why this guy’s a priority, but I guarantee we’re not getting the “whole story.”  (Whole stories and whole truths)

This was furthered through Dembe’s dialogue. 

Dembe: He’s very concerned. He made a significant investment into your research. If you are unable to deliver on schedule - Stark: No, no. Tell Mr. Reddington I’m making progress. My situation here won’t interfere. Dembe: I certainly hope not. Mr Reddington is counting on you.

“on schedule” means there’s a timeframe. Take this to The Corsican.

Moreau: Everything is on schedule. McMahon: I haven’t heard from you in nearly a month. Not a single word. Moreau: I told you, I couldn’t do your job without making a few changes. Those changes have been made. McMahon: Target will only be in town for a day. He knows about the coup attempt. If he tells anyone - Moreau: I told you, it’s on schedule.

The target is only in town for a day, but everything is “on schedule.” Take it again to Dr. Adrian Shaw because the mere mention of CRISPR reminds us of Alexander Kirk’s arc and his need for a genetic stem cell donation. And again, to Red’s “agenda.”

Shaw: It might help if I knew what you needed the patient for. Red: My “agenda” has no bearing on your task. You know what you’re looking for. I need it now. Shaw: I’ve treated hundreds of patients over the years. This is going to take some time. Red: I’m out of time, Doctor, which means you’re out of time. Find the patient.

They were running on a time sensitive schedule, Red all-knowing that Kirk was running tests and would soon find out that Liz wasn’t his daughter. 

They’re setting up for Agnes' storyline. 

With consideration to this research requiring it be delivered on schedule, I’m removing everyone but Agnes from my suspect List. I’m also exluding Liz, as I originally suspected Red was planning to restore her memory, but even that isn’t a time sensitive issue. I have few reasons why I choose Agnes. Let me start with the soundtrack they played in this scene.

Where Ya Gonna Go by Gregory Alan Isakov

Jump the gun Run, run, run Where you gonna go Like that With the holes in you With the holes in you

“I'll let you build your home with me till the clocks run down”

Liz assumed Red was her father because she sees a man before her. 

Liz: I don’t know. With Reddington, I don’t assume anything. 

JB spoke of assumption when they asked of Red’s whisper to Kirk. 

JB: We’ve already established that Red had an affair with Katarina, and I think one “can only assume” she told him many intimate details about her actual husband, Alexander Kirk.

Red assumed Tom was the father of Agnes. 

Red: I assume Tom is the father. 

When asked about that, this was JB’s response. 

JB: Is it safe to assume that this is Tom Keen’s baby?I don’t think it’s safe to assume that. I think it’s good to anticipate that. She and Tom did have an evening together on a boat last season. The timing of that evening may add up to the exact math of where we are today. Tom is the likely suspect, yes.

Notice that he said “an evening together” and how many times I've mentioned that an entire evening went missing in Karakurt’s episode. Insert second memory wipe by Dr. Krilov. What they’ve done, is they’ve had Liz spend a night with Ressler between Dr. Kimberly’s lab and the memorial in 2x21, then had Liz get her memory wiped by Tom in 2x22 - where he implanted an entire night of sex on the boat. That was their purpose for the dark lighting. He had to sell that an entire night passed on the boat instead of with Ressler. And because both episodes ran back-to-back, it worked out well for the flow of things. But if you pay attention to Tom’s voicemail message in Dr. Kimberly’s lab, then the jump from the car to the memorial, you SEE it. Liz and Tom did NOT spend an evening together. 

The soundtrack fits well. Liz and her two shotgun weddings (3x17 & 5x7) because she thinks Tom is the father of Agnes. Liz putting Red in prison all-believing he’s just some random man who took over her father’s identity - when Red is *really* her mother. And Red thinking he’s walking with that immunity deal in place when he just got busted with a gun. All jumping the gun.

Deliver on schedule.

Dembe: He’s very concerned.

You know what always concerns Red? The safety of Liz and Agnes. Even more while he’s in prison (out of reach) and his Pharmacist just got himself arrested.

Red: The only subject that interests me, Elizabeth, is your safety - a safety that has been guaranteed thus far because Alexander Kirk believed you to be his daughter. He now knows you’re not.

I’m suspecting a similar playout like that of Alexander Kirk’s stem cell need in S4, only it’ll be Scottie and Agnes. I’m not sure what the exact scenario will be, but I have two in mind. Either the person on the ventilator at Scottie’s house in 3x22, or more to what I’m leaning toward - Agnes’ 4th birthday. We had both Liz and Christopher kidnapped at the age of four. Though Liz’s can be explained with Katarina not allowing Red to see her, we never learned the reason behind Tom’s. I lean heavily toward this scenario on the fact that Agnes is nearing four-years-old. Fixed to her birthday, something that speaks to a timeframe: “on shedule.” Red starting off the season discussing his 60th birthday, and they’ve yet to talk about Agnes turning four. They gave Liz a due date of April 2016, though Agnes was supposedly born premature. If their current timeline in-story is January 2020, and Agnes were born in February, then she turns four in a month. If born in March, in two months. On Liz’s due date, three months. 

McMahon: I haven’t heard from you in nearly a month. Panabaker: We’d be in turtle mode for a month of Sundays.

What is fated. What arrow - at what angle - and what angel. Taken back to Keenler’s Capricorn Killer scene. Susie Baker was four-years-old as well, and she took off wearing her shoes. Something they continuosly focus on. 

They’re gonna find out Agnes isn’t Scottie’s granddaughter.
