Based off this thing I saw where Simon gets pissy, shouts at Grace and throws something and Grace, being the sensitive guy he is, starts crying and Simon, not used to his words having any sort of power like that, instantly is like I'm the worst person ever. Grace has been nothing but kind and patient with him and here he is making him cry. He apologizes over and over again, sent into a baffling state of desperation and hysteria to try to make up for it.

Grace shows him mercy, sinking down and giving him a hug and a kiss to the forehead to talk him off the edge. He then tells Simon he still needs time to get over it and the hurtful words Simon said, but that Simon doesn't deserve to punish himself so severely, just be more controlled next time. The start of Simon learning hes the only one in control of himself, he can't make excuses here and he won't be punished severely which creates even more pressure for him to grow as person.

(also pffft Chris being a slob. I need to know what his and Leon's apartment/house looks like after they move in together.)

Leon's Treasonous Emails, as I like to call them, are something I feel may be developed further in this remake. Previously, none of this was ever shown on screen, we just learn it from dialog in the game and the files, but apart from Claire ending up at Rockfort while trying to find Chris in December of 1998, we've never really known the exact timeline of things.

Based on how things shake out/what we know of the existing lore, Claire and Leon likely exchanged emails shortly before Claire split off from Sherry & Leon to go find Chris. I see this oftentimes get misconstrued as her like ditching them in the middle of the night or something, but its important to note that this was a mutual decision. Leon told Claire that he's got things covered with Sherry and that she should go find Chris, so he knew what she was doing.

We don't know the exact timeline of what happened to Leon and Sherry, but based on the picture of Leon that Krauser has (where he's still in the bloodied RPD uniform) and the interrogation tape from the old DSC, it appears not longer after Claire left to go find Chris, Leon & Sherry got kidnapped by the government. Thus, I think its safe to assume Leon was already being trained when he got the email from Claire. We don't know if he had a laptop or if he like logged on to a library computer or what, but we do know he got Claire's email and then went and found Chris, passed that info along, and that is how Chris found out about Rockfort Island.
