It was Gwen who said that, not Celia

Wait, Celia went to visit her family? Celia? Family??

Not listening to Colin certainly makes for a more interesting story

Is it just me or is Alice’s voice extra whiny and annoying?

Probably lives in the sketchy AI phone app, since all the listening in seemed to be happening only with phones.

If I remember correctly from earlier episodes Alice tended to be faster, but Gwen was more thorough. So by raw numbers, Alice would look like the better employee. And let's face it, if Lena got a chance to fire Gwen she'd take it.

Gwen talked to her father 👀

To be honest, I'm kinda glad they didn't listen to Colin. Everyone is to depressed by life, Not depressed by supernatural and eldritch beings. 😆

Was Alice that good at her job to be picked over Gwen? Or did Colin influence that decision? Hmmm

Ok, where THE HELL is Teddy working at?? This is gonna come up in the regular series, won't it?

Is it just me or is there just a lot of emphasis on water in this series?

Huh! Hm! Y'know, it's weird, I can.. almost feel my empathy for Colin uh.. slipping away. Like sundew. (An INCREDIBLY sad episode, makes me want to give everyone a hug <3)

WHY IS THIS SO SAAAAD BUT I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT TEDDY'S JOB (and smt tells me s2 will bring that about ...)

This feels... Sad. Gwen has to go along with what her family forces her to do, Alice is alone and Colin doesn't seem to actually care. At least Sam is doing somewhat better.

Proof that even if thru left the OIAR, the Forces were still going to try to grab them back into the fold.

They live in the tunnels now. I mean, the cable system.

Ok, Teddy's new job is raising alarm bells.
James Rule
2024-10-08 16:01:18 +0000 UTC
For reaaaaal! Why are they so interested in former OIAR employees???
Erica

Oof I'm worried about Gwen here. She's less composed in the canon universe, but at least she's making her own decisions. Here she seems almost... defeated. Like she's just going along with what her family wants.
Erica

Sus af!

Can confirm, the timeline where everyone does the rational thing is usually the most boring 🤣

Maybe? SOMETHING is still listening but it seems stuck
Thorn

I agree, if she was put in a position on whether to sacrifice some random person or her baby? She’d go with someone completely random. She is only human though, and feelings are bound to happen.

Why did I thought it would be Colin convincing everyone to smash the computers with hammers? But this is the bleak timeline
Sugar-Brown
2024-10-08 15:32:20 +0000 UTC
I think it's both. She liked him, but her baby was more important so she used him.

Interesting how in this scenario, something is still listening to them through their electronics, just not through the office computers anymore. 🤔
But oof! This was an odd mix of “Well… at least they’re all alive and relatively safe” and “Nooo! They’re breaking up the team! And they got rid of my computer boys!” 😭

Teddy your job sounds sketchy AF

I’m happy to be on the same page as Celia specifically targeting Sam. I had quite enough of Celia-apologists.
Reynard Du Maurier
2024-10-08 15:26:49 +0000 UTC
It’s really interesting how in this scenario, had they listened to Colin, Celia wouldn’t have targeted Sam and Gwen would be searching for something else. Not to mention that Teddy immediately swooped in to get Sam and Gwen into the same place he possibly went to.

Colin is an agent of the Lonely confirmed.

WHY DIDNT THEY LISTEN TO COLIN NOOO
RedCanary

I can’t really articulate this feeling I feel between “gawd at least they’re alive” and “HAVE THEY JUST RE-FORMATTED MY FRIENDS?!”
