![]() Moments later they learn which one: Zelada is alive and well and apparently a key player in this sprawling conspiracy. It’s only after they’re arrested that Tilarna determines all the agents except Chan are “dead” and under the control of a wizard. ![]() Kei and Tilarna’s supposedly private meeting with Randall in the park is interrupted by armed FBI agents led by Special Agent Roland Chan. He has a photo of Marla engaging in a liaison with a burly man sports a bulldog tattoo on his elbow-just like the Marine who killed Coal, identified as Ethan Dole. That’s when Kei tells her politics isn’t about choosing “the best” candidate-there never really is one-but the “better” candidate, echoing the compromise many felt they made by “holding their noses” and voting for Hillary after she beat Bernie in the primaries.īut if Kei’s reporter acquaintance Randall is to be believed, Coal wasn’t the only one stepping out beyond the bonds of marriage. Tilarna still suspects she was involved in Zoey’s murder, but isn’t about to vote for Tourte either. In this way, Marla is the Hillary to the philandering Bill Clinton going up against Trump’s populism with concrete policies. Speaking of hard, Marla Mozeleemay wastes no time picking up her late husband’s torch and running in his stead for the mayorship. Some of them hated Semanians before, but because they know and like her, their opinions have softened. Kei tries to cheer her up by telling her she’s not some exception sitting in the clouds above it all just being the decent person she is has changed the hearts and minds of those she’s interacted with. It doesn’t hurt that Cammy and Jamie are are both very good at their jobs and very fun to watch (I loved Jamie describing her Wiki rabbit hole!), as it doesn’t take long for them to find a sex worker who had the assassin as a client.Īs Kei and Tilarna drive past the messes made by both pro- and anti-Semanian protesters, it dawns on her how fortunate she is to be treated as an equal by her peers. But they need more, much more, which is why Kei’s colleagues Cammy and Jamie hit the streets looking for info on Coal’s assassin while McBee looks up an old flame who may be connected to the only Earth company that can work with Veifaht steel.įor the first time in a while, it feels like a whole police detail is working a case rather than just Kei/Tilarna. That could mean he’s not involved in the assassinations-just an unwitting beneficiary. He knows he wouldn’t have gotten anything out of Tourte if he didn’t play nice, and instead learns something potentially valuable: Tourte says he’s a politician first and an Earthling second, the opposite position as Kei’s old chief. She’s made even madder by the fact Kei played the peacekeeper by acting so deferential around the candidate. While he’s not creepy with Tilarna, he is terribly condescending to both her and her people, to the point she’s fuming by the end of their brief interview. His adversarial relationship with the press, “tell-it-like-it-is” attitude, and anti-immigration policy are also pretty similar to the 45th President. Kei and Tilarna meet Domingo Tourte, who kinda resembles Donald Trump, only slimmer and with a more conventional hairstyle.
