Keon, loving it, explains that he's not STO. "Try again. You're too stupid to think of a good reason that's not a real reason, so let's hear it." He smiles, she punches him, it's all so usual. He finally admits that he's STO, but not suicide-bomber kind: He just went to the meetings with Ben (and Pan and Hippolyta) and now that Ben's dead, it's not going anyway. Lacy dumbly brings up Clarice, who apparently isn't involved in his particular chapter, and then tells him to forget it. "I made a promise to Zoë before she died. I need to get something to Gemenon, something secret. It's for Zoë." Keon's obviously very sympathetic about her loss and the rest of it, and politely asks her to get off him, and she's still very wild-seeming when she does: "Zoë was my best friend, Keon. I made a promise." He stares at her total intensity and says he'll do what he can, and she runs off into the streets like a wild creature. I have no idea what's going to happen! It's very exciting.
So let's keep that fresh and delightful feeling alive by going back into the circling boring madness of Joe Adama's well-acted wheel-spinning. You might not believe this, but he is now at Castle Graystone demanding to see Tamara, just like yesterday and the day before that. Daniel has checked the computer, and last he checked she was still there, as of three hours ago. Of course, three hours ago Zoë and Lacy weren't all up in her biz, so obviously this is going to be a shitstorm. Daniel takes him in there -- there's a brilliant moment where he condescendingly explains to the increasingly desperate Joe that the size of the room doesn't really have any meaning so he can't answer the question of how large the room is -- and finally derezzes long enough to confirm that Tammy's disappeared since he last checked, and probably was just a ghost program anyway.
