Poor Ollie.

Tim is maybe the first person that they've faced so far who seems like a really plausible threat, in part because of the implications that he might not only be convinced that he's in a videogame, but because he might be using videogame rules, i.e. if they kill him, he'll just restore from a previous "save", making him a cross between Nathan and Curtis, only with a buttload of guns and a sports car. How do you beat someone like that? I mean, this episode's solution seems plausible... for a while. Escaping from prison would just be another level.

Yeah, poor Ollie, but he was the proverbial cinnamon roll, too good and pure for this world, or at least the Misfits' world.

And poor Superhoodie, aka Batmisfit. A little bummed that the two Simons didn't get to meet, at least face to face and unmasked.

"A bunch of young offenders develops powers and not a one of us thinks to use them to commit crime? Shame on us!"

Aww, Future Simon, we hardly knew ye.

But asking Alisha to set his body on fire? That’s asking A LOT.
