"Gen, I told you that guy was a fucking psycho! Why didn't you listen to me?!"
Lenore's response to the news about Trent's ultimatum seems like overkill, but I think that's only because I've had several days to get used to the idea. When I actually think about it, I know that my original reaction was about on par with hers.
"Yeah, I guess I always got more of an asshole vibe. Not a psycho vibe. Maybe a nice understated narcissism. This is something altogether more nefarious. Lex keeps telling me we'll find a way around it, but school is back in session in four days and we're still at the drawing board."
