Wow, I'm in awe of the surprise in this episode - here I was thinking I already knew what happened and was simply being treated to a different POV. Well done! Thinking about that turtle and the tender moment with Jesse and Deepu. Your craft is better with each new episode -- which, how is that even possible when it was so fine to begin with?
Wow. The arc of Jessie, his influence on his Houze-mates, his stodgy, gruff demeanor and its gentle, vulnerable final act. Beautiful and deeply human. And SAD!!!!
Oh, I feared we would be saying goodbye to Jesse. My heart breaks for Jayden. And for Deepu. May he not take on a burden that shouldn’t be his. The tender moment the two shared before this terrible moment was gift to readers. May it console him too.
I’m sitting in a cafe all blurry-eyed. Ben, your skill with these characters and plot twists never ceases to amaze.
Oh, Ben. I had a feeling, when you mentioned in your post about all you've been navigating, that it was going to be Jessie. So I delayed, and delayed. What a gut-wrenching episode. I can't imagine what this must be like for you, as the creator of these people. Oh and Jayden!! 💔 Poor sweet Jayden! I'm so glad Deepu & Jessie were able to share that tender moment together... What a rollercoaster this has been...I'm actually surprised by how attached I am to your characters, writing fiction is quite the responsibility, huh?!
Sensational (and devastating), Ben. The action scene was gripping, with real tension and desperation in the actions. I'm so sad we've lost Jessie, though. He was my favourite.
This was a superb follow-up to the events of last week. Knowing that someone had died, but then finding out how. Fantastic work, even if I am distressed that it was Jessie.
Wow. Can’t believe how real this is feeling now. Jessie was the real deal hero and a man devoted to the cause. And poor Jayden. She seemed to really fall for him and I felt like they had a future together. Fantastic writing, Ben. You keep the surprises/hits coming with each episode.
RIP Jessie. Jeez, who would have imagined when we met that gruff curmudgeon we'd be mourning his death all these weeks later. 😢But how are you going to keep the stakes high now, brother Ben!?! You've set a high bar...
I listened to this twice. It feels like I have lost a friend, a gentle soul. Well done.

Oh noooo I caught up way too fast!! Now you're going to make me wait... Too cruel!
The characters are becoming more three dimensional. It's more about the characters than the story, and I like that.
