I echo all the comments about Teri and Goodnight Moon. I also really loved him looking at the wedding album and noticing that the friend from HS wasn't top bridesmaid, and wondering what else he'd missed.
Also, this: It’s not that this route is his preferred road of access, but if she’s as similar to him as he thinks, feeling like she can help him (and she can, she would) is more likely to evoke a response.
Because, yes, yes it would. He is so right. And then look! There she is with her freckles and her different eyes and not getting to be good as new. Clever Jack. Clever you!
Thanks so much for taking a moment to leave such a thoughtful comment. I appreciate it beaucoup.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the little details and the way Jack is thinking about what he's missed, big and small things.
It's a total wank of mine that the reason he's able to get to Renee in s8 when no one else can is that he knows where she's been, and he knows that she needs to feel helpful (it takes him a bit to realize, but he remembers being in her place). SO. That's just my long-winded way of saying that I'm glad you agree with that perception and with the concept of Jack thinking he might be able to get to her on that level.
I so missed this one! And I love it. Feel kinda sad for him that he is longing for something he cannot place. However, at the end I smiled when that something turned up. Oh did I smile. Reunited with comfort. Blimey woman... you need to write more!
