Episode 48 Morals

In plain English, these are the morals from Episode 48:

Cassie fears Tony is going to kill her, and Nick finds Cassie has been kidnapped!

It's been bugging me for a long time now that they expect Cassie doesn't hear her. I have friends who have kids and they are constantly talking about how much more the kids pick up of what you say than what you would expect they would. I think it's unreasonable to suppose that Cassie does not hear Grace and Tony, and so when I heard Tony the other day ``We gotta get rid of her'' it lept out of my screen and screamed ``AWO idea'' at me.

Also, kids are very impressionable about other input they receive (books and movies). I myself saw a movie when I was little that must have traumatized me some because I recall it affecting my behavior, leaving me running around and hiding from imaginary creatures, for weeks afterward. So I'd had an idea for a while that it would be useful to let Cassie have one or more episodes where she patterned her actions after a favorite book character, so that's how I decided to frame this one.

Is a mysterious stranger just Victor's type?

There's a point to be made here, but I'm only going to make part of it for now. The part I can say is that it'd be fun to have an adventure in cyberspace with one of the characters--we've talked about that before. I have some very particular points to be made about cyberspace, but they will have to wait until this storyline is concluded.

That's all for Episode 48's morals. Don't miss Episode 49 and its morals!
