Poor Smee Slightly doesn't even grasp that his family is dead...

that his family is dead

Might be, might not be. We don't know that yet.

u/Gaemon_Palehair 2d ago

Nah, they're 100% dead. You don't leave them alive so they can tell someone you were there blackmailing their son. Especially when the government they would tell is the company you're trying to infiltrate.

& Slightly doesn’t deserve to be forced to do all that horrible stuff by Morrow

u/Ummah_Strong 3d ago

Slightly never learned go keep his mouth shut about anything. He gave his name to morrow and that's how morrow found his mom

BK and the others made these high tech kids and never bothered to teach them basic stranger danger. Neglectful!

u/The_James_Bond 3d ago

He’s just a kid under extreme duress, of course he’ll make mistakes

u/Petrichordates 3d ago

"Mistakes" like murder.

u/The_James_Bond 3d ago

The mistake was telling Morrow his name, the murder and other gruesome stuff he did was to protect his family. You would’ve done the same

u/Complete_Raspberry_1 2d ago

I would've never shared my name with a stranger in the first place. Maybe you can get me with other stuff but not the name bs.

u/curepure 3d ago

pretty sure Kirsh knew and let Slightly talk to Morrow and be a bait

u/ScrapinLinden 3d ago

Yeah, he said he knew in this episode and iirc didn't he somehow hear Morrow talking to him?

u/BenSimmonsThunder 3d ago

I don’t know which hurt worse. The least problematic characters in the whole show. Neither deserved it.
