      Actually, she's remarkably resilient. She made better use of what she's learned (the eye, y'know) than Jon, without spooky seeing powers. She remained rational when all she had left that was rational was herself. She might have not been in a healthy situation in this ep, but if it weren't for Tim in the beginning she probably would have ended up being the hero.

    If anyone was curious, the bad joke Tim makes at 15:23 is based on a joke that’s existed since the 1800s (at least) which was about a doctor telling a depressed patient to go see a clown performing (usually called “Pagliacci”), but the patient is the clown out of costume. In the 1910s the joke re-emerged, with the performer (out of costume) referred to as Grimaldi.

    All of that hilarious, cringy episode was put there to establish the very moment Jon asks Tim who he is and "What are you holding in your hand".....

      I'd say that the Spiral distorts perception, while the Stranger distorts knowledge. With the Spiral, everything around you is unreliable, but you remain. However, with the Stranger, it's your own mind that becomes twisted and warped.
      I don't know if this makes any sense? Well anyway, the Entities aren't really separate, individual concepts; the lines that distinguish them are blurred, so perhaps it's natural that they both bleed into each other.

    It upsets me that everyone went into this knowing they were likely going to die, but Tim is the only one that did. Jon and Daisy survived out of perverse luck/circumstance and Basira literally reasoned her way out of the absence of reason. But Tim, if he had survived I feel like he could have healed so much and felt like stopping rituals to protect people could have been his new rightout purpose and I would have been delighted to see that growth. But no, we see a man broken by guilt and fear and loneliness kill himself because he can't cope anymore and it's heartbreaking.

      - Jon remembered himself and his powers when he was called "Archavist" and used his powers to force Tim to to see the truth.
      - Daisy is a Hunter, a follower of the Hunt that is generated from the fear of the hunted animals, she needs no reason to function. Hell, her being in this situation probably made her stronger.
      - Barisa is plot armor.
      - Tim was suicidal from the moment he know about The Unknowing. He participated in the mission for revenge and his death.

      I was pretty confused about that too actually, so I looked it up on the wiki. Apparently(except for the “Great Grimaldi” part), it’s a line for line quoting of the Pagliacci joke, where a literal depressed clown goes to the doctor and asks for advice on how to treat it. The doctor says that he should visit the Pagliacci show that has just recently come into town, to which the clown responds: “I am Pagliacci.” The exact one can be found on goodreads.
      TL;DR: Tim’s referencing the Pagliacci joke.

    8:20 Leitner talking about Jon leaving the room, "I understand, of course," and me, in the kitchen listening while making a sandwich, saying "you needed a cigarette!" Nearly jumped out of my skin when that was actually the next line.
    Sidenote (slight spoilers for season 4):
    The fact that he used to smoke is such a great detail to add. It's established in a couple minor ways by other characters as a bit of trivia, then becomes relevant in ep 80 because it shows just how out of his depth he is. He's been quit for five years, but this amount of stress nearly breaks him, and then the brief moment he takes to calm himself causes him a world of suspicion and guilt afterward. You can't have shit in the Magnus Institute.
    It's unclear if he keeps returning to the habit after this point, but he has a cigarette and lighter on him when Gerry asks, and Daisy comments on "that lighter you're always using." This could also just be a sign of the Spider's subtle control, having it with him without realizing, but she does say that he's actually using it. There's not much to use a lighter for, aside from burning statements, which I somehow doubt is what he's doing.
    With his physiology changing in the 140s and the whole theme of addiction coming through, it gives me a bit of hope to think that, whether or not he's returned to the habit, he has quit something before, something famously addictive and self-destructive - and then, importantly, stuck with his decision, even through all the weirdness of the first two seasons. I hope this little detail comes full circle and it's a sign that he can work out a way to be stronger than this, too. He has some training, at the very least.
