That's interesting! I think - I don't remember exactly, but I think I actually watched Sunday with a person who had very little grasp of my spoiler avoidance, and decided to cheer me up by telling me he was going to come back? Or... I know I found out about his return really soon after watching Sunday - possible even before watching it! So I never did the full detach - I put him on hold for a while, waiting for him to come back... so when he did, I could just switch all my feelings for him back on. And I've missed him! And I like him! So it made me very happy to see him again - and to see him be brave and compassionate and determined and Carson, and to see his interactions with protective Rodney... Oh.
