Ian saying go, get the fuck out of here! Fiona confessing, I'm scared. How DARE you (how dare you!) after four seasons of missing the emotional beats hit me with a mimetic sucker punch like this. Shut UPPPPPPP the fear and elation of getting out, the leap of hope and pre-emptive regret, the knowledge that even if you go back you can never GO BACK???? WHO ARE YOU WHEN YOU ARE NOT THE PLACE YOU ARE FROM? SHUT UPPPPPPP
