Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4
Oooh o oo! So Parker takes Jarod in?! Oh, wow. He's not going to break back out in the next chapter is he.. it's always disapointing when he doesn't get to stay for awhile.
So I'm trying to unbox all of this and... what a perfect gift box you've arranged for us Mirage!! THANK YOU AGAIN before I continue...
So... in the second sentence we see that Parker is in disbelief just like Jarod is. She can't believe it's happening either ... suggesting she didn't expect Lyle to show up. She thought she'd break Jarod out and... let him go?? She's always let Jarod go. It's like their thing, their unspoken arrangement. She caught him, brought him to her house for the hypnosis and let him walk away.... which was hella surprising for someone who wants him back so bad so this... her disbelief in the second sentence is based on always letting him go.
Her next move is to give him fuel...his goal is fuel too, again both of them are insync with his plans to have the energy to escape.
She's got so much confusion in her mind...trying not to answer his questions, just wanting to get through it. Then he asks if she thinks he's dangerous after Carthis, she interrupted before he talked about the almostKISS, and I think she's disassociating here, but I also think... maybe she wonders if Jarod's guilty? Do you know in that episode where the Centre locks down and Briggie plans to blow up Mr. Parker's helicopters... Parker had to hear and see her MR Parker cry for Catherine before she continued on to save his life. This theory goes along with Parker always talking about the emotional umbilical between Sydney and Jarod and Jarod jumps right in to ask about snapping. I think Jarod not wanting to talk about Miuna when Parker mentioned her could have been misinterpreatated by Parker as Jarod not caring about the girl.
The verbal assaults are the same fear-anger chain reactions we've seen in the past from them. Jarod went a little too far tho cos he's desperate and we've seen Parker visibly wounded before like that, and it would hurt something awful when she's already vulnerable like this.. with her plans being messed up by Lyle's arrival and her not believing the reality that Jarod's going back to the Centre, and with this girl's brutal murder, too. We've seen before on the tv that she has a lot of sympathy and humanity for someone who is supposed to be so bad ass so this murder would bother her. Parker is right about ending up like her mother, and was right in the car limo in Scotland too. They were surrounded by guns, outgunned.
Lyle was perfectly in character, too. Wow. Amazing, Mirage.
That last line means Jarod will be giving them big trouble I bet. I can't wait. Jarod back in the Centre. No last minute escapes, gun fights, or his dad swinging in like Tarzan. Brilliantly done.
