ANDI: So, tell me about this reaction?
TODD: I'm not sure where to start.
TODD (VO): It's based on something... very unique to sarnothi culture.
TODD: Is someone in the hall?
JESSIE (VO): Eeep!
POHL: Hi, sorry, just me again. I know I said I was leaving, but ran into Amanda's mom and... well, questions.
JESSIE (whispering): Thank you.
POHL (whispering): Someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me.

Pohl and Jessie really are just the best people. 🙂
I’m glad he came back to help handle the questions. Jessie’s just adorable, period.
Dah dah dah DUM dah dah dah dah dah dah dah DUM…
“Keeping this relationship secret will be easy!” — Jessie, seconds before disaster
“I have this ring I need you to chuck into a volcano.”
Ok. Putting a pin on this one
How is Pohl both very smooth, and a huge dork at the same time?
Regardless, I like him!
Oh My God, I just realized. What happens when Tehk finds out that Amanda is a Echo? He is literally going to flip his lid when this gets out. It is only a matter of when this gets out.
Especially since he was giving shit to Amanda about her wanting just this thing. It’s gonna blow a six foot wide hole in that nasty superiority complex of his.
I’m guessing he’s gonna see the suppressor in her hair and recognize it as Sarnothi-tech.
Not just Tehk, but I also want to see Benny’s reaction too. I think it would be even better than Tehk’s reaction.
ORRRR a bully (maybe Tehk?) rips it out of her hair and teases her about it (maybe him giving her crap about “stop pretending!”) and then she goes nuclear on him 😂😬
I’ve worried about this since she got the suppressor. We all know what kids are like. We also know the Sarnothi kids will recognize it as “their” tech. And yeah, my money is also on Tehk for being the one to snatch it from her. 🙁
That last line reminded me of a TV show from the 80s: Stingray
“Ray” does not charge money for his help. Instead, he requests a favor from his client in advance: the client will repay Ray in the future by performing one service—perhaps easy, perhaps difficult—upon Ray’s request, and the request may not be refused.
It’s a line from the Godfather
The concept is also in the book (and miniseries) Noble House and the book Tai Pan by James Clavell.
Pohl is just the Best. 🙂
“Sure. Just let me call an Uber.”
This will be fun. This will be the first Andi’s hearing about Echoes, yes?
And she get’s to find out her daughter is kinda sorta one too.
Nice double whammy.
Todd, next page: “Uh, Pohl… who are you talking to?”
The line works as being spoken to Todd, too. Sure, he’s looking at Jessie, but would that be obvious to Todd? Unsure.
dude… did he just quote the godfather?
Would this make Pohl the Codfather?
Yes yes it would.
Or the eel father.
