The Therapy Zone
‘The Schizoid Man,’ forget the
fact that Number 6 and Alison share a mental link, that Number 6 cannot shoot
right-handed, or fence for that matter. It doesn’t matter that both men appear
to share the same fingerprints or that Number 6 doesn’t have a mole on his left
wrist. It hasn’t even got anything to do with the fact that both men wear
different piped blazers. What this episode boils down to is two photographs!
Because if it wasn’t for that Polaroid photograph Alison took of Number 6, he
wouldn’t have discovered the fact of his bruised fingernail, and how much the
bruise had moved up the nail from the time Alison knocked over that soda
siphon! That together with the photograph of Susan, Curtis kept in his wallet.
Yes Number 2 did have nagging doubts about Curtis towards the end, but if it
wasn’t for that photograph Number 6 wouldn’t have had any idea about Susan. Of
course even without that photograph Number 2 might still have brought up the
subject of Susan seeing he had doubts about Curtis, as he might not have known
about the photograph anyway. But at least with the photograph Number 6 knew of
Susan, even if there was no-way he could have known she had died a year ago.
