Marco’s dad makes a breakthrough and it endangers his life. Marco has to make some difficult decisions quickly and not everything works out as he’d hoped. I used to read this one over and over, especially the scene in the car.‬

I like this one, a lot. It’s definitely a point of no return for the series, something fundamental has changed that cannot be mitigated. To be clear, I mostly like the change, and I consider the changes to come to be good, narratively. This particular installment is bittersweet, mostly good but with an edge to it.
