Here's my unpopular opinion but I fucking LOVE Mary Keay. I love terrible terrible and utterly unredeemable women. She's nothing short of a venomous, cold hearted bitch and honestly? Slay. Just not me please.

Let's talk about Gerry's painting, shall we? We don't know what it is supposed to look like yet, but we do know that it's called “Camden Epiphany”. Now Camden is usually the name of a person or place, but not a word in English. So let's look at the origins of this name.
Winding valleys, labyrinths. Familiar. The meaning of the word definitely seems to line up with the episode's statement/entry, and also with the Spiral in general (I know we're not using those classifications anymore, it just helps with explaining my point).
And "epiphany" is, of course, used to refer to a sudden realization or revelation. This reminded me of Gerry's painting in TMA (MAG04).
The calligraphy in particular stands out to me. It seems to be asking for an epiphany, to grant the viewer or the creator a revelation of some sort.
I think that Gerry's recent painting wasn't just a throwaway moment. It's gonna come back later and it's going to be important to the narrative. And of course, I doubt that Gerry and Gertrude are going to be irrelevant to the plot. I don't think this is the last we've seen of them.

[ID: Digital drawings of Fiona Law, Agnes Montague, Emma Harvey, and Mary Keay from TMA. Fiona is an older woman with light brown skin, greying hair in a severe bun, glasses, and a terrified expression on her face. She holds a pencil in one hand and wears formal, dated business attire. There are squiggly lines emanating from her. Agnes is a young, slightly chubby woman with pale, freckly skin and long, ginger hair. She wears a long-sleeved button-up shirt with a Peter Pan collar under a baggy sweater-vest. In one hand she has a candle burning low, dripping its wax down the sides of her hand and between her fingers, and she gazes down at the flame with an unreadable expression. She is lit only by the candle, and behind her head is a smouldering halo. Emma is a thin white woman with shoulder-length curly brown hair from which a spider dangles on its silk. She wears glasses, a loose purple button-up shirt, dark wide-leg trousers, and purple heels. Her hands are clasped behind her back and there is a slightly wild-eyed expression of satisfaction on her face. Behind her is a spiderweb design in purple. Mary is a thin white woman with warm blonde hair in a 70s blow-out style, wearing similarly dated clothing, a bangle, a wedding ring with a large red gem, sharp red nails, and a large, heavy gold necklace with a Clausen family crest on the pendant. In her left hand she holds a razor blade and there is a knowing smirk on her face as she stares at the viewer. Behind her head is a mockery of a saint’s halo, with the points and circle of a pentacle visible. End ID.]
this week i learned there is no Closen family crest. happy women wednesday

MAG 4 IS A FUCKIN TRIP AND A HALF, Y’ALL
In ONE (1) episode we meet BOTH gerry keay (my beloved book burning old man beating goth son) and Mary Keay (bitchass evil book lady horrible mother burn her ass), AND we hear the story of Mike Crew (sexy sky king), A N D we are introduced to the Library of Jurgen Leitner (stupid idiot motherfucking jurgen leitner goddamn fool book collecting dust eating rat old-)
We also learn that mary is supposed to be DEAD and gerry is supposed to be the one who KILLED HER, but before we have a chance to process aNY of this information we get smacked out of left field by jonathan “most of the stories in the archives are bullshit drug trips” jarchivist sims immediately going “oh leitner? fuck that guy. for real, tho. gotta go tell elias that apparently his books are still floating around out there so that we can send every person who works for the magnus institute out and destroy them all. Dangerous evil books.”
AND T H E N before we can process THIS character development, jon proclaims that he would like to meet the weird goth dude who purportedly killed and skinned his own mother. Cuz one guy said that this dude burned a leitner one (1) time. No mention of the murder of the mother is made.
11/10 episode. No notes, Jonny.

do you ever think about how gerry said “gerard is what my mum called me. i always wanted my friends to call me gerry” and then the few times we hear gertrude talk about gerry she only calls him “gerard”
then we have jon who only calls him gerry after he learns and gets permission to call him that.
gerry basically traded one mother for another, and neither of them actually cared about him. they cared more about the fears and learning everything they could than they did about him.
