Tom's death? Perfect, because it satisfies my desire for stakes but doesn't kill a character that I've grown to love. In fact, it completes his arc in a beautifully tragic way while still giving us bloodhounds the death scene we hope for in these things.<br /><br /><i>Sloane's story about young Sydney rescuing her stuffed animals was apt. "So one by one, you rescued them. Even then, I wondered when you would learn you can't rescue everyone." Sydney needs to at least try to rescue everyone. It's who she is.</i><br /><br />I didn't realize this the first time around, but Sloane specifies that Sydney would rescue them during a storm, because the stuffed animals were drowning. Next flashback was the stormy night her mother died, allegedly by drowning after her car went off the bridge.Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.com
