Also, I thought Enid was a girl's name.

It is! I just assumed that his other personality was a female one; I believe that they can be of varied genders and ages.

I somehow can't imagine he'd be able to bear the idea of lying to them on top of it

I didn't mean that he should, just leave that bit out. It would be natural to parents to wish he hadn't done it and died instead, and I thought he'd spare them and himself that.

Oh, man, you have no idea...

I bet.

I occasionally wonder why he doesn't go out and wage financial warfare against the Centre. Based on his track record, he seems quite likely to pull it off.

Yeah, he's so good at tracking things down that others at the Centre don't know about, it would be child's play to him!

And she does want it to be over. That might be a bit of an incentive to pull the trigger, however subconscious.

I could well believe it of early Parker, but I thought there was more of a bond there. And that's without mentioning more recent eps.

I was re-reading some of my episode posts recently.

And I should go and read yours now I've made mine!
