that's a GREAT line: "he shot his shot, you're just loading your gun" a great line for "do SOMETHING, take your TURN"

fwiw, this is my best guess for how this "crime scene" is laid out right now, while we're at break, I couldn't remember if MaryAnne is to the left or right, but either way doesn't change much, and I'm guessing the statue is across the door because they saw it immediately, it's all guesswork off memory anyway

I'm laughing that Liam went for slot canyons in Utah because I literally thought "oh, it's like Antelope Canyon," slot canyon in Arizona

"it does happen [that Circle members end up in the Vault]" flashes back to Alison Suarez

#I made a half-joking comment earlier to some folks that you can argue that Needle & Thread and Crimson Mirror are in conversation #because they have a lot of similarities and especially now that we know they're within months of each #but now that we're really going down this road yeah they're developing some ideas in ways that are especially fitting together #because they're approaching them from similar angles as narratives and themes that Tide & Bone took a different tack on #Candela spoilers #Candela things

that astrolabe over the vault of the Fourth Pharos looking real good following those repairs it needed after a Mr. Finnerty blew it up, cleanup crew did good work after half of Needle & Thread died in there

I didn't like how you made a point of that, Liam, about Malcolm's eyes, I am squinting at you

okay, something about the delivery of "when I lost my parents, I was forced to grow up, and now, I feel like I'm not getting younger" made me want to cry

An unfortunate thing about me is when one character is like how are you and the other is like "you look like shit" and they're not like, relatives, I WILL at least kind of want them to kiss

For those keeping track at home, the confirm that it's been three years since the end of the war, that puts Crimson Mirror is in 1907, the standard year for the Candela setting.

We learned in episode one that the chapter is set in late autumn, nearly winter. (The season, not necessarily though probably the month, noting because months in Hale are literally called like Summer, Winter, etc. and referred to as Early, Mid, Late.)

So, in context of this series, this puts Crimson Mirror as happening slightly after Needle & Thread, which takes place in Summer 1907.
