Will sits a Kym's bedside devotedly, waiting for her to wake up. We learn the fate of other characters (please live, Albion, please!!), and Will manages to simultaneously think of Kym as the girl he wants to marry and yet deny it. Perceptive Darcy comes for a visit, dressed to the nines, reminding Will of the soiree he is excited to miss. We discuss the suspiciousness of the mysterious brown satchel.

This one broke our hearts, folks. Lauren finishes stitching Kieran up, sitting comfortably on his bed. She places her hand on his shoulder scar (!), asking him its origins. She hesitates and pulls her hand back, but Kieran grabs her hand and returns it to its place on his shoulder. We now see a painful flashback. Youthful Kieran and the protectee are in a prison cell, and Apostle X brands him. Some time later, a hooded Kieran and protectee sit in a cell, tied to a pole. They've killed the Tenth and

Kieran and Lauren sit in Kieran's cave, gazing at the romantic water and discussing their latest discovery about Rafael and Redcliffe. Kieran's theory about the poison aligns with our resident medical expert Lily's. While reaching to give Lauren a hug (!), Kieran rips his stitches, and unself-consciously proceeds to, er, rip his shirt off, giving us all a great view. Lauren, unlike us thirsty fans, focuses on his scars, and feels comfortable enough to ask him about them. Kieran hesitates, but

We tried to discuss this episode pretty thoroughly and sensitively. There is a lot to talk about and tease out! Charles visits Sam's apartment, once again facing hesitation at the door. Sam has left the door unlocked for him, and asks him about his business clothes. He tells her he has been on video conferences all day - we speculate on that. Charles has one thing on his mind, but Sam only wants to cuddle. We discuss their behavior at length. While Sam is sleeping peacefully, Charles hears her

While preparing to draw blood from Anya, Delta explains that the building was once a top notch science lab and we speculate whether Zoe worked there. He seems bitter about the founder. Anya is nervous, and Delta notices and is unexpectedly kind. While drawing blood, he tells her how his sister Zeta was torn apart despite wanting peace, and mentions their new general.

Will searches the archive room for Thalia Lin's XX16 death records and sees none. The next morning, a tired and disheveled Will tells Lauren that he and Darcy won't be marrying. We wonder how long the miscommunication will drag out between him and Kym. Lauren asks him what's bothering him, and he tells her about Rafael's accusation. Despite Will literally telling her he is sick of being left in the dark, Lauren opts NOT to tell him what she suspects about Rafael. Will wants to enlist Lauren's

Will and Kym wait at the theater. Kym asks about the date, which Will almost forgot about, and hears Will praise Neyra. Surely this will lead to miscommunication in the future. They scuffle, and as they walk down the hallway, Will spots a picture of Thalia in XX16, a year before the ATST. He doubles back to question the director, who informs him she disappeared suddenly. We transition from serious Will to serious Rafael, who is snitching on Kieran. We discover the appalling fact that Kieran was a
