This whole episode has a dreamlike quality to it that reminds me of some awful nightmares. Fauxlivia is not actually paranoid, they ARE out to get her. The kidnapping and accelerated pregnancy reminds me a lot of Scully's abduction and pregnancy in The X-Files, which still has the power to creep me right the hell out. And yeah, this is the episode where I actually started to like Fauxlivia. She displays some of the same resourcefulness and determination that I admire in Olivia, without the scheming undertone.

And Henry! Bless Henry, he is one of my favourite minor characters. I think I will automatically be predisposed to like any character Andre Royo plays because between Bubbles and Henry, he's just awesome. Meanwhile Lincoln's massive crush on Fauxlivia is completely obviously massive, poor thing.

And yeah, EvilBrandon. He is so evil. And I cannot decide, does Walternate looking gooey over the baby creep me out because I've seen this season before and I remember bits of what's to come, or does he really look creepy?

On first watch, yes he does look creepy.
