Summary
The kiss scene does not stop at the kiss. Carol and Zosia spend the night together, exactly what Carol needs, even as she remains fully aware that she’s being manipulated. Zosia uses Helen’s memories to dominate her completely, and Carol finds the spark she needs to start writing again.

Summary
“I don’t know what you want me to say, Zosia,” Carol admitted, exasperated. “That I feel like I’m walking on eggshells around you? That I feel like I owe it to you to be a little nicer? That I feel guilty for taking advantage of you while you weren’t really yourself?”
Zosia huffed. “So you decided that giving me this half-assed version of yourself was going to absolve you of your previous shitty behavior?”
Carol didn’t know what to do except shrug.
“I know you,” Zosia said slowly. “Intimately and against my will. You were shoved into my molecules, my pores. I know the fire you keep in your belly. I know you stoke it yourself. I know you swallow coals and timber just to keep yourself going, however unpleasant it may be.”
A cold sweat broke across Carol’s neck. She remained silent.
“It’s not going to… make me feel better if you repress that side of yourself with the intention of pacifying me,” Zosia continued. “It makes me feel guilty, for whatever reason, and feeling guilty about you is the last thing I need right now. Or ever. You don’t deserve my guilt. Not after everything.”

Yet another rendition of the aftermath of Carol and Manousos un-hiving Zosia.

Summary
When executives told Carol they’d cast a woman as Raban, she was furious because of course it took a network’s “woke agenda” to expose her secret wish. And now she’s stuck doing press tour with Zosia, the hottest and happiest actress alive.
They may end up killing each other.
Or falling in love.
Either way, she’s fucked. -

Summary
It’s a little funny, too—in an absolute asinine kind of way—that Zosia may not remember all that knowledge she gained from living in perfect symbiosis with the rest of the fucking world but she can remember the night Helen was sick and left Carol to fend for herself at one of those stupid publishing parties she was always getting invited to. Yeah, she probably shouldn’t have gone for the second Old Fashioned, and she definitely should not have ripped her car keys out of the valet’s hand and flipped him off while doing it, but it tickles her to think Zosia can remember the square root of that night and not four thousand, one hundred thirty.
She risks a small smile. “Oh, that’s sort of—”
“And I hate that.”

Summary
“Happy Birthday sweetheart.” She says it easily, just like she does in the ER, but something about the way she says it out here in the real world makes Victoria feel giddy.
“Thank you for coming.” She says, speaking up as the bar grows louder. “I’m sorry if it's hard to be here.” The older woman shakes her head at that.
“You don’t need to apologize for my life choices, I’m okay. Might not stay too long…”
