    Summary

    One thing about Tom Cruise is that he had had aliens in his brain long before there were aliens in his brain, Carol thinks, so probably this was all going really great for him.

    Summary

    “I wanted to hurt you, yes, because you hurt me, but I didn’t want it to go like this. I wasn’t listening and I should’ve been.” Deborah’s voice is suddenly so gravely serious, it makes Ava squirm. “Ava… I really thought you were going to kill yourself.”
     
    “Yeah, well. Sorry to disappoint.” Ava says, bitterly. 

    -
    Or: Following their reconciliation at the beach, Deborah’s determined to win Ava’s trust back. Ava’s determined too, but her body just won’t let her. (Takes place between 4x06, “Mrs. Table” and 4x07, “D’Christening”)

    Summary

    In general, Carol has decided she doesn’t like to think about the what-ifs, or possibilities. Possibilities are different now, more concrete. If Carol wanted, Zosia would move them to a remote Mediterranean island and wear see-through linen dresses and make her endless gin cocktails and let Carol fuck her on a sun lounger until neither of them could stand. They could do that for as long as it took for the hive to figure out how to get Carol to join them without using her stem cells. They could do that for as long as it took Carol to figure out how to stop them from wanting to do it at all.
    The prospect of it is exhausting.

    Summary

    She consciously ignores the memory of being introduced to Helen in the lobby a few weeks ago; doesn’t think about how her silver thumb ring had briefly skimmed over Carol’s knuckles when they shook hands. Or the smile that had crept up Helen’s full cheeks while they made small talk about Wycaro.
