Lee: Crap! You're aware I hadn't even realized that right? Didn't even pay attention to Brittany or the 452-599 fetus. I was already annoyed that I had Max pregnant in this one when they already had a kid in the other story. Now in my defense all baby storylines in the previous stories were in the epilogues/continuations. Yea and in Outside I just wanted to fix everything I thought was insane in S2, if they'd skipped the breeding program, I'd have skipped the baby…Sorry must always mention how much that annoyed me.

Episode: Pollo Loco
She was a monster.
No matter how long she stood under the beating water of her shower she couldn't get clean. The shivers coursing through her body weren't from the icy waters.
She was a monster.
She was the animal that bastard had trained her to be. She had killed her brother. She had almost killed her baby.
And he looked at her like she was an angel.
She'd managed to be at his place for only minutes, she couldn't deal with how he didn't see her. He saw a girl, his girlfriend, his lover…He didn't see who she was. Logan had no idea what she was capable of. He thought he did. He'd seen her in action before, he'd seen the results, but he didn't know that as Ben lay in her arms she'd snapped his neck.
Her brother, her sweet loving brother…She'd taken his life. It didn't matter that he had wanted her too.
A monster. That's all she was.
She shouldn't even be capable of the tears running down her face. Maybe that's what made her a monster and not an animal, animals don't know they've done anything wrong, to them it's natural. She knew.
She was a monster.
Episode: I and I am Camera
(Skipping Max being at Crash and being caught by Phil and being involved in all the other fun stuff that followed).
Max Voiceover ( Logan's Apartment):
He's been quiet. Quiet even for Logan, he's not just lost in work. I would blame it on the fact that his uncle was just shot up in his study, except for the fact that he'd been a little odd even before he got that phone call. Cryptic phone calls have been passing between him and his cousins. He won't say anything more than 'family business,' quickly shutting me out.
He spent the day at Cale Industries.
He hates that place, he ran from it his whole life and he spent the entire day there. Walked into his place with takeout; Logan Cale with takeout and not snooty restaurant takeout, Chinese. Eyes Only hasn't been mentioned in days, those unsolved deaths he'd been investigating still unsolved.
Weird week.
Sketch caused a fire at Crash, which of course I missed because it was past the kiddo's bedtime. Herbal's trying to understand Jah's plan, Snuffy's death really hit him hard; OC said he was a nice guy, which is a lot coming from her. Followed by Old Jonas being shot up in his study, the guy didn't even have the decency to do it to his face, the coward shot through the windows.
Death has just been pretty inescapable since Ben.
I wish I didn't have to leave him like this. I know I do though. Running out of time rapidly. Can't escape Kendra's looks, can't hide the fact that my pants are suddenly starting to get snugger. Changes in my sleep patterns and beverage consumptions are one thing to explain to Logan, but changes in my body are another entirely.
His distraction may actually work for me; buy me a little more time, not much though. He won't mention the slight change in my body even if he notices. I'm worried about him when I leave though, I don't want to leave him like this.
Suddenly it hits me as I turn to watch him instead of the tv that's been on and neither of us have been watching. The look on his face…
I'd seen it before, not long ago on my own. It's guilt. What could Logan possibly have to feel guilty for?
Yea that was short. I think they're going back to short for a little bit; of course I may be lying about that. Thanks for reading guys!
