Watchmen comic backstory She has a complicated relationship with masks, as seen through her relationships with Mr. Shadow (“he’s not a hero...he’s a fucking joke”) & Petey Is Keene behind this whole thing? Presidential hopeful. Crime is down 80% in Tulsa, other cities want to adopt the Defense of Police Act. Is he orchestrating these events to draw attention to him and his policies? Implies that he could get Nite Owl out of jail Introduction of Petey  FBI Deputy Director seems resistant to Petey’s ideas to dive into the psychology of Rorschach - is there something else going on there? Millennium Clock - who is Lady Trieu?   On the plane with Laurie, Petey says the word “fan” with real contempt Laurie interrogates Looking Glass, who reveals that Judd’s funeral is in a couple of hours Seventh Kavalry suicide bomber interrupts the funeral. Laurie (who was hiding a weapon) shoots him, Angela throws the bomb into Judd’s grave Face off between Laurie and Angela Adrian Veidt (confirmed) His “we’ll have a use for him before too long” quote appeared in the “previously on” segment - did we see that use in this episode? What is his endgame? Designs for a catapult/trebuchet, but Mr. Phillips has a rope attached to him Who is the game warden? What is the dynamic at play here? Is he in Argentina with plastic surgery? Car crashes down (ties in with her joke) - is Doctor Manhattan involved somehow? Does he care more than Laurie thinks? Tidbits: They’re staying at the Black Freighter Inn. Tartarus Acres is the name of the cemetery.
