Every story has a protagonist. This may or may not be a human, but if there is nothing
and no one for the audience to care about, to fear for the well being of, and to identify with,

It would appear that we're arriving at the beginning of the end. This doesn't mean we're out of the plotting woods yet, but it does mean we can start to see some sky through the treetops. This isn't the end itself, it's not even the climax. It's just the point at which course correction for Robert, if it was ever possible, becomes exponentially less possible. In this episode, we wrap up Plotting Act 2 and prepare to plot the third and final act of pretense.

Motivation. It's an incredibly important part of writing characters. The motivation needs to be real and relatable. On top of that, it must also make sense for the given character. Strong motivation is what makes good characters great. In this episode, we attempt to flesh out what Ida's motivation is, and as a result, we begin shaping the goal toward which the story arc will move.
