Heh, yep, I've seen the Mosaic episode. I binged the entire thing and am now watching more slowly for vidding. I will be watching that one closely too. Like, I do clearly remember Quentin initiating a kiss in that lifetime montage; so at least some agency; I remember mentally discounting the whole thing for 'isolated together forever' but I also did that when I thought this was going to be a time loop they forgot--when they remembered it, I was like "wait, I think... that was an actual gift? the show may have given slashers an actual gift."

would it be too much to hope that somehow memories of that lifetime together does something to save eliot from the monster in s4
