Some guys feel threatened by strong women. Others find some really good reasons to celebrate them.

“We noticed you care about people, so we’re going to spy on them so you’re not flipped” feels like a very AEGIS reaction. But I like to think Parker is subtly congratulating Alycia for her progress too.

Alycia always struggled with the propriety, morality, or even likelihood of friendship, even while, from the earliest age, desperately wanting it. One of the great achievements in her story has been actually resolving that struggle (albeit with plenty of jagged edges still to file down).
And plenty that will, or ought to, remain sharp.
Hard-hitting reporting from Heroes Are Magic.
EDIT: I missed my chance to name one of those villains “SnapChad” instead. Ah well.

The number of parallel Earths that are charred cinders from Summer trying alternative tactics to be Alycia’s friend are legion. It’s like Groundhog Day, only with more hypergenius weapons systems.
And, yes, I realize it has a happy ending. Still …
Colin plans for the future.
More seriously, it’s kind of interesting to have this family plot running in the back of my head, where Summer angsts about Leo and Aria being together, raising a family, and Summer feeling like she’ll never have that. But Colin’s got an obvious solution that never occurred to her: “why don’t you guys just build another Rossum-type neurochip and put it in my head, long enough to get this brain imprint you’d need?”
At that point it raises the big question of how long the Summer-Colin relationship will last, i.e. long enough for Summer’s family goals to be realized? And that’s a whole ton of story, so we aren’t going anywhere near there.
Enough weighty matters. Back to our regularly scheduled shenanigans!
