EST! Wasn't that a flash in the pan cult in the late 1970s and early 1980s? Now I know why I got a bad vibe when I watched that scene this morning. :O
Also, LOL @ swordfights with icicles! I'd forgotten about that line.
• Speaking of which, like others above, I also loved the conclusion of the Brad Mullins storyline, though I also appreciated that it took a backseat this episode after being centre stage last time. It was really interesting to me that Brad had deduced that he would never see Elizabeth's character for that mission (did she ever get a name?) again now that she had the files she needed on the other guy. I suspect the fact that she stopped him clued him in, and then she talked about her recovery being an ongoing process, and her age, at which point he saw the writing on the wall. Young and inexperienced, that one, but not dumb.
Yep. I think Brad realized that once, from his perspective, the girl he was interested in had the stuff she needed to get something on her attacker, she wasn't going to stick around to be in a relationship.
And he has plenty of reason to believe it: her skittishness at physical intimacy, her insistence that she still needs "time" (for him, as far as he knows, it's a recent thing and not something that happened in the 1960s), etc.
A small comfort will be that at least he's unlikely to get in trouble, since P & E likely have no intention of making those papers public.
