"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

it was just for a second, between him taking off his mask and before he shoves the glasses back on. Neil was actually quite dashing.

Yes, not just you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Vincent's the cafe owner? He and Lupo both knew about the espresso. Zoe had totally seen her father's twig and berries. Lupo and Stark (IIRC) both knew about Jack's birthmark.

if Vincent had shared the dream, then why was Cafe Diem the dead spot? I thought that him knowing about the coffee was just because it was Carter's usual.

Good point. If the coffee was his usual, though, the moment of Lupo and Jack naming it has a lot less impact.

Vincent specifically said he hadn't had any of the shared dreams and that's why Carter decided to have the "study" there.

You know, I was totally confused by that part. I'd have to rewatch the "dead zone" scene bit, because I didn't even see it on the monitor.

However--take Vincent out and you still have Lupo, and I think Stark.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think there's not going to be a solution to this. It's true: the plot makes no sense!

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

It has been interesting reading through because although I enjoyed this episode more than last week, it has confused people much more than previous episodes.

Some things that seemed obvious to me, caused problems for others. I didn't pick up on some details that others have listed. (Like Jack had to be the one dreaming about the memory wipe. Wow!!) We really needed a collective brain to understand this week's episode.

I still liked it.

Austin, didn't we already learn this week that neural networking is bad?
