There is a certain touch of nostalgia around JJ, as if she is currently living in the past, before all of her missteps and regrets had taken place.
She is walking around as though she can feel her old mentor present in the log cabin, fingers caressing the bird drawings. She is voicing memories of a past with Gideon; his genius, his hubris, everything.
For one incompleted class, Kate had been taught by one of the best.
One who eventually wanted justice at any cost. Sometimes Kate's afraid she'll turn out like him.
She hopes JJ won't.
