Julia revives Judah. She's awfully happy about it. It's not like she's going to be able to publish. I was reminded of the end to "Spock's Brain".
As Leticia and Julia debate what to do about Gerard's coming, I liked Julia's sort of brave logic: If we fail, "We're gone." If we succeed, Judah will know how to deal with Gerard. This is my Julia here, not the gaspy, eyelash fluttering panicky version we usually get. She has a nice "presence" here.
I like Judah's silly (for him) fancy lettering on the cover of his journal. *** I like Julia's way of cutting short inconvenient, awkward moments with a few practical, well-chosen words and then moving on. Others in the same circumstances would allow themselves to get caught in a frustrating conversation, trying to talk the other person out of asking for explanations. Instead, Julia deals with Daphne's questions in mere moments and moves on.
That's it, zoom in on Judah's tummy for the cliffhanger!
