this episode's subtitle should be 'protect simon holmes at all costs'

I'm starting to think Radford hired Fred Suggs to impersonate him and was like I have to go into hiding for a bit and Fred Suggs took that SUPER SERIOUSLY and wore disguises all the time to help.

The origin of his compulsive imposter syndrome?

I support this headcanon!

That should just be Eerie's subtitle.

Or he was just like, mind the store for a bit and Suggs was like what and Radford was like, it's easy just be me, and he took it waaaay overboard.

I always leave this one so mad at the Holmes parents. And Marshall, too, a little.

I want to know more about Things, Inc. and the exact nature of Edgar's job...and how he went from designing an AI to making banana petroleum goo.

So many scenes break my heart...it didn't help as I was watching Mr. Wilson's "death" scene this time, my cat was having a pitiful, "I am sad and nobody is paying attention to me" meltdown. (Mostly because I wanted to pay attention to him, I just wouldn't kick the other cat off my lap, but still...)

I know,his parents are such garbage. And Marshall, he's self centres and short sighted, but also thirteen and from a stable loving family - in Simon's place I would have hated him but as an adult im more inclined to let that kind of naivety slide. But fuuuuuuuck Simon's parents, urgh.

So is Edgar a multidisciplinary scientist? Is that why he creates artificial intelligence when designing a cash machine but doesn't have his doctorate - literally too bustling on to the next interesting challenge?

Did your cat passive aggressively demand "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOU KNOW HOW LONELY I GET", jeez mr wilson, so needy. I think if he'd been created in the internet age he might have been better adjusted - more friends, less pressure on Simon.
