The third episode of Indexing: Reflections is available now! This is your talkpost and discussion zone. There will be spoilers in the comments here. As always on talkposts, I have partial comment amnesty, and will not be responding to everything.
"Brotherly Love" marks the return of a fan favorite from season one who is, alas, not easy to integrate with the rest of the cast on a regular basis. Hopefully this is enough of a glimpse to satisfy.
I bet you weren't rechecking to see if it was up yet either!
Gerry can't ever really escape fairy tales--he thought he had, but he can't ever really. He's always at risk one way or another, so...yeah, better not be smug about that, Hansel.
I think Sloane's gonna jump into changing her story for real one way or another soon at the rate things are going there.
I most certainly was not rechecking ... I have a plugin for Firefox that does that automatically.
Yeah, Gerry can't get free. Like Henry said, all he accomplished by running away was to leave himself vulnerable and ill prepared ... oh, and break his sister's heart.
I agree Sloane is at risk here. She's very similar to Elise; she hates her story, and she's been fighting it for a hundred years, or more. I think she'll be tempted further, but I hope she doesn't fall, because the whole thing is a trap. I don't believe Elise changed her story all by herself, I think the narrative let her change it, because to make it work she had to give herself over completely, "The line between witch in the woods and wicked stepsister is thin and academic." That wasn't Sloane talking, that was the narrative speaking through her.
