Think who’s concerning supper? Okay, yes, it’s that Machiavellian multiversal miscreant Jason B once again, however he’s used to prepare this time.
He hasn’t even ended up prepping their meal before he asks Daniela and Charlie– the partner and 16-year-old kid he has actually obtained from his poorer, sadder, more understanding modify ego– for how long they will remain mad at him. To a conceited genius like Jason B, it needs to appear like an affordable concern: All he did was almost eliminate Charlie with his lack of knowledge of the kid’s nut allergic reaction. Man’s had a lot on his mind!
Their supper is postponed by the reappearance of the Chicago Police Department’s Detective Mason.

While I at first believed that Jason B was either lying to Detective Mason or getting a significant information incorrect about the Pavia Prize– winning Ryan that Jason B did not mature with, the very same method he stopped working to keep in mind Charlie’s nut allergic reaction, neither held true. Solved: Ryans A and B are sober.
However, I was puzzled why this Mason was so suspicious of Jason B here. She’s developed that he was the last individual to see Ryan before the latter’s sweetheart reported him missing out on, however she plays this scene as though she believes Jason B of something
