Lara VO in Ang voice. Julia enlists Quentin. At least he won't be weirded out by talk of Leviathan people. We now have the Super Trio, Barnabas, Julia, and Quentin, except when Stokes is around, then it's Barnabas, Julia, and Stokes I guess. I don't see Quentin and Elliot (who still hasn't started being called Elliot yet) co-existing in any Super Quartet. Do they just have to hope OberHaza aren't listening in as they discuss their plots?
The two tall guys of the show, Q and Jeb, face off. It had to happen. Way to work off that lost love, Quentin. They're evenly matched, though you'd think Jeb would be as invulnerable to fists as he is to poison. Well, maybe he isn't superhumanly poison resistant, just resistant because his biochemistry is different. Immortal grand-dad fighting a guy only a few months old.... maybe Quentin's more clever and experienced, that gives you an edge.
I didn't notice until this viewing how different 1970 Q is from 1897 Q. So many times, DS does something smart and right and I miss it, blinded by the screw-ups I guess. The old Quentin will always be in there, but now, despite his life not being a rousing success, he's far more "centered" and grounded, mature. The old irony is more reflective now.
Jeb's Do As You Feel argument (to Carolyn in the antique shop) is a powerful one, which we all may have wrestled with at some time. I'd actually be interested in hearing others' experiences with this. Carolyn is especially susceptible, we know, having seen her previous rebellions against her proper upbringing. Did she break the figurine? I forget. (Yes, I see, DL.)
