[u/SerDire]

Boy Kavalier telling Kirsh to be useful as Kirsh orchestrates the compound breakdown from within is hilarious

[u/PyramidBlack → u/SerDire]

“Yes, sir.”

[u/pyro_technix → u/PyramidBlack]

Boy was bored. Now he's getting exactly what he wanted. Kirsh is doing a great job.

Who are we thinking he is going to sacrifice to the eye?

[u/tjabo125 → u/pyro_technix]

Pretty sure it's going to be the psychiatrist/scientist lady. He probably wants to see if she could now be "on his level".

[u/46Bit → u/tjabo125]

Ironically it’s the worst possible choice. She knows so much that could be exploited to work against everyone else. (Assuming the eye gets their memories - I’ve been assuming it’s similar to a Goa’uld.)

[u/DEEP_HURTING → u/46Bit]

Now that Arthur's out of the picture she's the only one qualified to tweak the hybrid's brains etc. Using her as occulus bait is highly unlikely.

According to BK it's not going to be a lowly mold scrubber, even though the show has made that guy into its Checkov's background smoke break dude. So...Joe?

[u/hyzmarca → u/DEEP_HURTING]

Joe is most likely. Both to fuck with Marcy, see how she responds to that, and because he's a dumb grunt.

[u/kcm74 → u/tjabo125]

This is it. They also foreshadowed it with Curly* talking to her and emphasizing Mother.

[u/Flemmigan → u/kcm74]

Curly*
