Summary
Herbert and Dan finally have a very important conversation, and Herbert gives Dan a gift.
Edward re-animates Shelley.Or
“Is it that hard for you to understand that I cared about you?”
“You sent me to jail, Dan!”
“Becuase you ruined my life, Hebert!” Dan shouts, and then stopped. They’d never talked about it. Not afterwards, not in Peru, not when building the bride.
“Okay. Fine.” Herbert says, with an eye roll and a glare. “I ruined your perfect life. If not for me you’d be so happy. You’d be a doctor, you’d be married, you’d have kids and you’d have a perfect boring life. Is that really worth everything we achieved?”
“I don’t know Herbert, was it?” Dan’s never been this mad at Herbert before. “Was college worth it, was thirteen years of your life in jail worth it, was Meg,” He lets her name hang in the air for a moment. “Worth it?”
“You already sent me to jail, Dan. What do you want now, an apology?”
“The one time I needed your re-agent to work.” Dan says, and he’s always towered over Herbert, but now it’s extreme. “And it failed. You failed.”
“It didn’t fail completely. Her heart was very well preserved.”

Summary
When Herbert dies, Dan tries to bring him back.
He doesn’t fail, but he doesn’t succeed either.If Herbert had been able to see this, to know what would be left of him, would he have still wanted Dan to bring him back? Or would he have preferred to die?
More blood dripped out of Herbert’s mouth. Dan wiped it away.
Or came back wrong trope plus my take on the deleted re-agent scene.

Summary
River tried to catch his breath.
His shirt had been ruined after being attacked by the bad guy of the week, who River has been chasing through the woods and who apparently had had a secret knife, which became less of a secret one he slashed River with it. It wasn’t a terrible injury, he’d be fine, but the guy had gotten away. River’s shirt had been too blood stained to save, and he’d chucked it on the ground, to check that his binder hadn’t been damaged, when Jackson Lamb had strolled into view.
Maybe, River thought, Lamb wouldn’t recognize a binder. He could pass it off as some sort of tank-top, or not even mention it all.
