About Wash's recovery after the Epsilon incident and his character arc from there through season 10:

It’s the refusing to accept your thoughts as your own. It’s the disconnect between what you’re doing and who you want yourself to be. It’s the fight for control when trying to tighten your grip only makes it slip. It’s the bargaining and little mental rules and walls and lines in the sand. It the recognizing that the neural pathways are there and there’s not much you can do but try to replace them one electrical signal at a time. It’s the coming to terms with yourself - who your actions, thoughts, and feelings have made you, both despite and because of the circumstances. It’s the knowing who you are, wondering why you’re here, and knowing that the why matters less than the what are you going to do about it. It’s the spite for the devil responsible that turns you cold. It’s the determination to live for something that gives you hope. It’s the belief that your life and death have to mean something that keeps you going. Its the turning into something you never thought you would be in the name of justice, in the name of revenge, in the name of healing, only to realize that it all meant nothing – or at least, it wouldn’t mean anything, if it weren’t for love. And it's about realizing that that’s where the healing truly begins.
