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.
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!
