THE OUTSIDER

Which is even bigger of a deal when you find out who Cavalia's working with, because it's not Georgina at all: It's Chuck, still. (And in fact, I randomly made a pretty dark-in-retrospect reference to it earlier in the recap.) And if that doesn't break your heart or scare you to death, go read that book and get back to me, because it's entirely possible we've all been played a very long con indeed.

GG: "You know what they say: Talk is cheap. So if you don't have anything nice to say, maybe you should just shut your fucking mouth."

And I guess maybe she's right. Because that was "Age Of Dissonance" good. Possibly "All About My Brother" good. Out-of-nowhere good. Beautiful.
