Overview[]

Vespa Ilkay's best days are behind her.

It doesn't matter if this statement is actually true; she has convinced herself that it is. Whenever Vespa looks at herself today all she can see is the woman she used to be: a galaxy-class doctor and assassin. A legend.

It doesn't matter if Vespa ever was a legend, or if she really has fallen as far as she thinks she has. She has made her decision, and tomorrow, she will act on it. Although that may not matter, either.

Because if the visitor in the night has their way, tomorrow will never come.

Quotes[]

VESPA (NARRATOR): "Vespa’s condition is not relevant.“ It’s the first time I’ve heard Buddy say that. So how many times has she said it behind my back? How many times have I been talking to a wall for twenty minutes, everyone too embarrassed to tell me, and then when I leave, Bud can finally say, “Vespa’s condition is not relevant.”
VESPA (NARRATOR): The hardest thing about “visual and auditory hallucinations,” like the medical handbook calls them, isn’t when you hallucinate a thousand spiders climbing out of the bathtub drain. It’s when the spiders are actually there — and you’re letting them crawl all over you cuz you think they’re just in your head.

Trivia[]

  • In this episode it is mentioned that Jet and Rita were watching a stream documentary called Conspiracy Files 9: The Human Terrarium, which, according to Juno is "this dumb documentary series Rita likes. In the first half of each doc they go deep into a conspiracy theory, and in the second half they debunk it.". Jet explains that he and Rita did not watch the second half, since Rita said it was "very boring". Jet also mentions and quotes from another episode called Conspiracy Files 13: ESP and Psychic Force Are Definitely Real.
