If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Tuesday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...

[spoiler]Tuesday's quote:
Ep #763 (1897[-1841PT]) - Evan - 'There MUST be no mistake. We MUST do everything we can to keep you from getting caught.'

From "Robservations 1/10/03 - #762-763 -  A Heart-Wrenching Truth"

when the time comes, says Evan, you will have no memory of these plans.  Who am I to kill? Asks Time.  You will know when the time comes, replies Evan--we must make sure you aren't caught--there will be a signal which will give you a sense of power, of release, and you will know the time for action is at hand.

[/spoiler]

The Robservations paraphrase but gets the points across...

And this is the fifth quote from this ep. The first (Tim - 'I MUST do whatever you TELL me') was back on June 16th of 2020, the second (Magda - 'You MUST go and get a pentagram. You MUST put it around the little boy. He MUST wear it always-- always-- all the days of his life') was back on November 7th of 2020, the third (Evan - 'Because it MUST be done, and you have been chosen') was back on May 24th of 2024, and the fourth (Beth - 'But she IS at rest. Magda, MUST he go on forever like this?') was back on July 7th of 2024.

And this ep now shares the of a fifth quote with Eps #42, #44, #52, #54, #66, #106, #133, #208, #211, #300, #367, #377, #384, #426, #449, #466, #481, #506, #543, #544, #550, #556, #609, #629, #639, #646, #655, #678, #709, #727, #734, #742, #746, #915, #977, #993, #1057, #1111, #1197, #1218 & #1232. However, recall that there's an even bigger because Eps #44, #52, #66, #377, #384, #449, #550, #646, #709, #727, #915 & #993 have six quotes, and even a bigger still because Ep #550 has seven!!

And just a reminder, we've seen notations like "(1897[-1841PT])" before and in this case it means that the quote should have come from the 1841PT storyline but that one doesn't have any more eps that haven't been quoted from so a quote from the 1897 storyline was substituted.
