Well I mean if you work backwards if Victor is now all scarred up, how can he fulfill the rest of his contract? It would make sense to give him a non-Doll job.

Maybe, if the distinctiveness of the scars and how they'd make him memorable/identifiable factors in. I doubt he'd necessarily be precluded from romantic assignments once he heals up the way female dolls might be, though. Lots of scarred pirates and soldiers on the covers of paperback romances.

I was cracking up at Paul's reaction to finding out that Lubov was a doll, too. If Paul makes it out in one piece, I forsee him eying Cool FBI Lady suspiciously.

I'm probably a little slow, but this discussion helped me realize that the face slashing can be seen as an attack on the "doll" status: if they're no longer beautiful, they can't be dolls.

Yeah, the suggestion that Claire is a doll did make me consider whether he was only slashing dolls. And, curiously, going in reverse alphabetical order: Whiskey, then Victor.

Oh wait, but he also slashed the real Stephen Kepler.

Oh wait, but he also slashed the real Stephen Kepler.

Which does make his comment that the plants were there when he moved in (or some such) hilarious.

Ooh, point. So, yeah, there goes that theory. He just likes slashing.

I'm still wondering how he managed to alter the files Ballard found so quickly.

I would guess he did it before he killed Kepler.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

My theory was always that he slashes what isn't real.

Or that he's insane.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

He just likes slashing.

He made some comment about it making Victor unique, no? I assumed that was the reason for the MO: create an indelible uniqueness, something that can't be overwritten.

Once again I was glad to be unspoiled.

I liked the episode but, was it my cold-blocked ears or was AT really hard to understand at times? I feel like I missed a lot of dialogue this episode.
