#episode plot

Amaya’s Arc

·         so Amaya's arc, as we have it, is that she starts off very professional/very strict by-the-books, with black and white morality; she looks down at the Legends for being unprofessional in episode 3

·         she'd also be furious about sara giving the legion the spear parts in episode 4

·         And she wildly disapproves of the ep 6 heist - she certainly disapproves of the mess they're making, but they're stealing the equivalent of time-nukes from the bad guys, so she probably doesn't think it's morally bad

·         she doesn’t like getting the help of Lisa, a criminal; she’s disapproving at first, because Lisa is a proud criminal, but she’d appreciate her skills and efficiency she'd probably want her to be a spy instead of a criminal and be confused when Lisa says no

·         I think the next "main" Amaya episode is 9, where she gets faced with nearly participating in an atrocity because of her mission focus

·         Amaya just had a moment that shook her faith in her approach (mission-centric focus nearly got people killed), leading right up to episode 10, which is the pirates one

o   what I was thinking was that Amaya in part thinks of herself as better than the team because of her participation in a clean, efficient, professional group (JSA) and she views her actions as just and right, including obeying her orders without question but if she found out about some of the stuff that happened - the Allies' knowledge of the camps and doing nothing, Winston Churchill's later participation in the famine in India, etc.

o   for Amaya's development, though, what I really want her to have to face up to is the imperial/colonializing power - the "big states" NOT acting in a good way to the weaker states

o   because Amaya in part thinks of her actions as 100% white-hat because she's part of the Allies and they're fighting this war to "save" everyone; also parallel the sentiment of "I was just following orders"

o   so in the pirates episode, Amaya dealing with something like that and also possibly realizing that sometimes the "good" thing to do is to fight AGAINST the authority would probably be ideal; she might not want to emphasize with the pirates at first, but maybe she'd be forced to for some reason

o   Pirates attacking slave ships/freeing slaves or the Opium Wars - She wouldn't go into it knowing the whole story, just 'British forces are attacking these ships, they must be bad'.

o   Chinese pirates/Madame Ching - she was very well organized and disciplined - code of laws, etc. which is good for Ray learning about being an adventurer but EFFICIENTLY; she opened a gambling house afterwards

§  She could appear as an old mentor character? the team COULD theoretically, bring her out of retirement for the episode.

Len's appearance/visibility

·         we get whispers and glimpses in episodes 2-6

·         and episodes 6-8 we see him for longer moments but not hear him

·         episode 8 he starts actually talking to Mick, but sort of the way he was in canon - he says a line or two, then disappears

·         episode 12 we see him interact with Gideon, thereby revealing him not to be a hallucination

·         so episodes 8 through 12, including this one, he's good for a few lines and criticisms; there has to be a focus on Len’s bitterness and wanting Mick to go be a villain; and mick would think it's a hallucination

o   I feel like a majority of his lines have to be spent establishing that he thinks Mick shoudl go back and be a villain again and that he's really bitter about being "tricked" into sacrificing himself but by episode 10, he's definitely commenting on the actual action

·         Len is watching the Legends throughout, just not visible – Len's the third person camera hanging over Mick's shoulder.

·         he would have seen lisa in 6, so by 10 he would say that mick should go back and stay with lisa and lead the rogues together since he never got the chance to cue = aaaaaaaall the bitterness

·         He might actually be more upset at Mick being a hero, because Mick was going to sacrifice himself for *Ray.* Len's regret of bringing Mick on the trip and all the shit that happened to Mick twisting his meaning around. He would do it again to save Mick, but Mick shouldn't have been there - none of them should have been But Mick was going to DIE for them. if only they'd approached it like villains, they would've been fine

·         I think his objection is in large part the "if we had only kept to what we were good at, we wouldn't be in this mess" - his main objection is to "heroism" driving people to die - he's more anti-that-principle than anything else, because he's a villain, right

 storage of the spear pieces

·         At first they are just lying around in Rip's fancy office

·         but then Rip gets some pieces back in American Rev episode (ep 9)

·         so they make it more secure; after 9, more secure location

·         but Len being a great thief still finds them in episode 13

o   sara's paranoia about protectiveness/need to be CAPTAIN play into where they hide the pieces, so they hide in the compartment that she and Snart used in season 1 if Sara hides it

o   Legion Len doesn’t know about it but Len found it first time around Len will find it again - after Legion!Len steals it and Sara reveals where they were, Mick could say, "Seriously? Snart and I found that spot in the first five minutes on board."

 Spear:

·         Legends don’t figure out what they are until episode 4; before then, they are glowing pieces that people who are causing aberrations seem to have around

·         the spear, by itself, just warps time around it when it's activated

·         my theory for the spear was that it acts like a "rock" in the stream of time; So it's not that the spear is actually doing anything so much as it is solidifying things its user wants so it's good luck even at the expense of history you want to win the battle? you win the battle

·         once the Legion knows how to use it right, they can just make wishes instead of just changing things; that sets up Doomworld where it's "what they wanted" but it cracks apart because it's so badly constructed

·         when activated, people start using it to warp reality mildly, like how Rip scattered everyone

·         they have to go back to Camelot to figure out how to put it together, but Legion uses the time to figure out how to USE the spear

·         only the people outside of time, the Legends and people with spear pieces, are immune to the new timeline

o   like, a pirate with the spear piece MIGHT have noticed - if he/she cared to look but if they just went about their daily lives, they might not notice that the Crusades happened differently or something

Easter Eggs:

·         References to the Hawks in the past in the background

·         I would also like to place Jason Blood in a few episodes

·         if we're including jason blood, are we including etrigan? in camelot, I imagine assuming @drownedinlight wants to work with him

 Episode 1

·         so, the first episode is basically outlined already

·         I'm aiming for everyone's arcs to have a brief moment in episode 1, except for Amaya

·         unless people think otherwise, I was planning on just having Rex appear - no one else from the JSA the rest of them appear in episode 3

  episode 2

·         Mick, Nate, Jax, Stein, and Ray are the only people involved, so they're the only ones with arc moments

·         but at least I think that Mick's moment is his hallucinations, Nate has hero moments and bonds with Ray, and Jax and Stein disagree but Jax yields to Stein's/the team's opinion

·         team doesn’t yet know what the spear pieces are

episode 3

·         they pick up Sara and Amaya

·         maybe amaya is confused by sara who originally worked well and followed orders with the jsa and then turns around and stops doing that with the legends

·         I would absolutely like to suggest that, prior to the battle where Nate got injured, he's all about being a hero. After, when he realizes how hectic and fast-passed it is, he realizes he's thoroughly out of his depth. Especially if he's showing off to his grandfather, realizes he's out of his depth, and then his grandfather tells him you can be ordinary and still a hero because he presumably never had a chance to actually have that conversation with his grandfather

·         how does he get his metal powers? If he still gets injured like canon? ray wants superpowers but nate gets injured

·         Also, I really want the line "what does metal skin have to do with internal bleeding?"

·         so that episode has Sara moments, Amaya, Nate, and Ray (conversation with Nate about being a 'proper' hero)

  episode 4

·         the Laurel episode

·         somewhere Stein can inspire his younger self to be more romantic for a change; I'll keep the 80s setting, then Stein's moment with his past self should definitely happen, I agree

·         so, Sara obviously has some big moments in that episode

·         Ray has a moment of talking Sara down, which doesn't 100% work but does somewhat, which helps his arc

·         Amaya is definitely going to look down at Sara; Mick maybe defending Sara's choice at least privately to Amaya? "If you had that same chance to save your friend, can you really say you wouldn't take it?" Which also sets up Mick's arc as well. (give everything to be with them again)

·         so now we have Sara, Amaya, Stein, maybe a bit for Ray and Mick

·         they pick Lisa up at the end of episode 4 Mick: "not all Snarts are gone" - cut - Lisa walks on with a smirk

·         Eobard would reveal the spear in episode 4; sort of a "haha you have no idea what you just gave me you idiot!" – up until then, they just think it's "weird pieces that seem to be around/possibly causing aberrations"

o   Eobard is totally the Legion's answer to Ray: brilliant, but also dumb

  episode 5

·         Jax is going to have a big part in this episode, meeting another young person who has to figure out how to step up and take responsibility among more experienced/older people, inspiring him in turn

·         and there's going to be the funeral - for mick and everyone else

·         we have the initial Amaya and Lisa interactions

·         I think at the beginning of the Vikings episode, they have the problem of "we don't know where the Legion IS to steal the pieces back" which is why they end up going to fix the aberration instead – I'm thinking the time aberration of the episode is caused by Thawne throwing a piece of future tech there to distract the legends so finding it will help them figure out where to go for the next episode

o   I think we're having them hide out in the cyberpunk era high tech, low restrictions on use like, Eo is 3000, cyberpunk is like 2500 or something

·         also, Jax's friend is going to be a young seeress, so I'm thinking she might get a vision and do some more clues and/or foreshadowing? in keeping with the magic of the season except she sees them and tells them through her worldview - the spear in this would be the spear that pierced odin's side, for instance? maybe she sees camelot? or maybe she gets a glimpse of Doomworld and warns them "if you don't get this spear first, BAD THINGS"?

·         Sara likes Lisa, but Amaya doesn’t like Lisa. Variety!

·         It could be a Jax, Stein, and Mick episode, with Amaya having a more minor part

·         also Ray and Mick could bond some during the episode fighting with the Vikings

·         Lisa and Mick should definitely have moments

·         The main plot? The wrong army wins a battle with future tech, killing a Viking king who is the ancestor to half of Europe's current royalty So they need to make the right army win

  episode 6

·         obviously Ray has a big role, messing up the heist in order to pay hero and damaging his suit

·         Amaya changes her tune about Lisa, like we were saying before

·         Mick's hallucinations get worse during the episode well

·         Stein and Rip were being mean, but Lisa would only see Stein; if anything, she might encourage him to stay with the team because she knows he's not good alone so we get to play up Mick's "but I like being a bad guy" vs. "I'm better with a team"

·         Maybe Sara gets some more captain-y moments

·         either way, at the end of the episode, they get a call from present day about Invasion

·         Lisa goes back to her time during invasion

 episode 7 – Invasion

·         she flirts with cisco for before leaving, we could also have her dropping a refernece to them having spent some off-screen time together "We still on for movie night, Cisco?" "Yes please?" if the world's still standing next Saturday

·         the main things that happen is that Stein finds Lily

·         Ray refuses to fix his suit because hero stuff takes priority and damages it further after it was damaged in the heist

·         Amaya can finally have some "ooooh, shiny future!" moments

·         maybe more kara? and supergirl

·         Repeat of positive arrow team interactions, esp with mick

·         if we're doing so many changes to Invasion, there should a set writer: @KakoPumpkin and @MaryWisdom will draft episode outline

Episode 8

·         Rip gets his first intro since the first episode (feudal Japan), Sara gets moments of worrying about captain competence, and Ray destroys his suit by accident

·         the Legion gets Rip first maybe Ray's suit destruction has something to do with that; maybe they were counting on his suit, then Sara has to think of how to fix it, and does, but just not fast enough

o   It broke in the heist, he never maintained it, and now it REALLY broke

·         we're including Queen B (I was thinking the version that is the dictator-ruler of a nation in Africa) – she's introduced in episode 8, I believe she's brought in specifically TO mind-control Rip

o   Rip: "I will never help you!" Damien: "Oh, I think we know somebody who will change your mind." *enter Queen B*

·         We need some reason for the legion not to worry that she'll brainwash them early on, maybe some sort of magic amulet to keep them immune? they would trust those - right up until Len absent-mindly steals one revealing how easy it is to avoid them

·         we're also giving her a different mind-control tool, though I was thinking the Emerald Eye or something; Amulets tie in with the magic element plus parallel with Amaya too

·         they go straight to Constantine after hearing about his address from Oliver - if they go to him and he acts like that that would be why they go check out the others only to get sent back to him and he's still being an ass when Zed gets the vision so maybe they promise Constatine a favor? he has to have some reason to give them the compass unless it was "uh, this has been lying here for ages, take it away"

o   there was a gang that zed was running from bc they wanted to use her for her visions the weird cult people? and they stop abruptly? So, have the legends fix the Ressurection Crusade people to make Zed owe John a favour

·         PLOT: so he's being an ass, Zed has the vision, they go try to save Rip, they lose him, they come back and John makes the deal with them and gives them the compass and maybe mentions that the last known owner of the Spear was Merlin? John interprets the seer's vision from the Viking episode

·         Mick fights ninjas

  episode 9

·         American Rev is much the same

·         Mick gets to rescue Georgie more or less solo, Sara is still shot/Stein takes her back, Jax and Amaya go to try to save Mick but find out that Rip has set up a village massacre and they have to prevent that instead Amaya nearly gets everyone in that village killed because she thinks it's more important to protect the spear pieces but Jax manages to save them all anyway with her help

o   basically, Rip uses the village massacre and Sara's injuries to distract from the ship while he steals the pieces

·         Rip doesn’t get all of them because Ray gets shrunk trying to fix his suit, runs into the rat which steals the piece and Ray chases after it – humor moment, but also saves the piece from evil!Rip

  Episode 10

·         I think we decided we were doing Chinese pirates, which leads into the Amaya moment

·         Ray gets his whole identity round-about

·         Ray and Mick get to argue ninjas v pirates

·         Len just liked/currently still is teasing Mick for his love of ninjas.

o   I think it would be nice if Mick (who imo is more of a pirate) likes ninjas and Len (who is occasionally more of a ninja, when he's not overly dramatic) is into pirates though probably not full on bickering

·         maybe just Len rolling his eyes and Mick snapping "don't you start" at him, which could reveal Mick's hallucinations to the rest of the group

  episode 11

·         a subplot of Mick being examined by the team

·         the event is the Rainbow Warrior incident which was a green peace ship blown up in Auckland harbor in 1985 by French counterintelligence

·         the plan I had up my sleeve was that the legends have to make sure it goes up; this could be a place where the person with the spear fragment is trying to do good

·          the sinking was really unpopular in NZ there was a lot of backlash but it also gives us a chance to explore the correct course of history/saving lives issue a little more because one of the activists was on board the ship and was killed; also is choosing to save one life means they're playing god. and maybe reaching an impasse, especially when talking about things like the holocaust; also the ship was the flagship for a protest fleet who were protesting nuclear testing so there's a real second element to that

o   that argument being Sara, Jax, Amaya, maybe Mick as well

·         Mick who creates the necessary explosives once they are done testing; they realize they need explosives and they go "well who knows about explosives" and turn to Mick

·         it just might mean the testing is in the front half of the episode

·         mick shows stein his very comprehensive knowledge of chemistry and fires and everything to do with that; the explosives are limpet mines, so they would require a certain amount of engineering

·         and I was going to have him give them to Amaya and she swims them into location

·         Amaya just had two episodes so her having a minor role in this one is probably good this would also be Amaya's first exposure to atomic bombs also Amaya deal with "modern" science regarding mental illness (not necessarily well)

·         Ray is doing very valuable support in this episode - he does the research and figures out that how the bombs and such were made or not so much made, but where the were placed

o   Ray plays science buddies with Mick - Ray figures out what they were and where they were placed and Mick builds 'em

o   I was going to do a Ray-Mick-Jax engineering crew

  Episode 12

·         when do we want to set the ghost-ship era? could it just be in the time stream

·         There's some fun easter-egg style stuff you could do with the name of the ship anywhere: Marie Celeste, Mosaic

·         the team learning more about Gideon, the reveal about ghost!Len (presumably towards the end) and the reveal of Legion!Len (the very end)

o   the audience realizes mick's hallucinations aren’t hallucination, but the team doesn't

·         I was imagining that the episode would play a bit like "Alien"/various sci fi where they go onto an abandoned ship and something starts trying to capture them with the insane AI wanting to keep them forever as replacements for its own lost crew

o   Mick could definitely have a Kronos reference

o   ai ethics, how Gideon is viewed/how she views herself,

o   the AI try to put them into "roles" like someone gets assigned to be the doctor, someone else is the captain, etc. Maybe it addresses everyone by its dead crew names instead of their own

o   the other AI counts one more person than the Legends think they are: on the ai's crew there number of team members was the legends + len, so it refers to this person the legends don't see that is len

·         Mick's hallucinations, Len trying to use the ship to communicate

o   The Legends are split up in groups through the ship, Len tries to use the intercom to get them all off the ship, it just crackles ominously.

o   all background stuff until the final reveal of Len interacting with Gideon – we don't get an explanation for the doors opening/closing or the intercom not until the end where Len says "well, I tried to help them"

·         Reveal of ghost!Len

o   Gideon needs something done and just casually asks Len to do it And Len does it and it happens revealing him to be "real"

o   I'd still love the final scene (before Legion!Len reveal) to be sth like Len randomly asks Gideon to dim the lights and she responds with "Certainly, Mr Snart!" or the other way around

·         Please have one of the AI's old crew have been named Dave we HAVE to have a "I'm sorry, I can't do that, Dave" moment; Ray makes a WALL-E joke at one point, terminator. Skynet, portal, wargames, we definitely have the AI wanting to usher someone to the "right" part of the ship for their "role" and them going "nope, the cake is a lie"

o   Someone should argue with the ship about Asamov's laws – Ray, or Amaya because Laws of Robotics was introduced in 1942

  Episode 13

·         Argentina - Rip gets captured and his brainwashing removed, Ray needs to use his non-suit skills to be useful somehow

·         more of a general arc, where the oppression of the general population in Argentina foreshadows doomworld

·         It'll probably feed into Amaya's arc about colonizalization - maybe we could have Queen B vs Amaya showdown leading to Amaya being curious about her future

·         if we had Amaya being negative about mental illness during the New Zealand episode, this would be a good moment for her and Mick to bond

·         so more philosophical arguments about what they change/don't change; maybe Jax and Stein argue about that?

·         oh, if rip is unbrainwashed, maybe something with mick about having been brainwashed

·         so Legion!Len is not in the field in Argentina yet, is he? because Mick still thinks he's a hallucination in the tudor episode; here Legion!Len is sort of master-minding the plan for the spear

  episode 14

·         next is Tudors, which is Rip having his "the team doesn't need me " moment, Sara comes into herself as captain, Mick gives up a chance to burn something for the team, and Legion!Len steals a piece

·         L!Len goes on to steal the spear piece mick sees legion!len and legion!len kind of waves at him, but mick thinks it's a hallucination; Oculus!Len could realize, though, and we could see him be surprised

o   Stops in the middle and walks out with a wink "Don't tell anyone" and the AUDIENCE sees Oculus!Len over Mick's shoulder, looking surprised but Mick doesn't see them

·         you know, they probably don't know how they lost one they just know they did; Mick would tell them about "Len" getting it but they all think he's hallucinating again

   Episode 15

·         the only points I have down are that they go back to Jonah Hex to find the next piece, only to find out he gave it to someone who went to NYC

·         the Legion gets another piece, in part because of Legion!Len's appearance (and hopefully the team apologizing for doubting Mick in the prior ep)

·         Rip encountering a Time Master issue

·         Ray realizes he was a hero in the Wild West episode without his suit

·         They can go pick up Lily

o   Her skills will make the compass work better the Legends are frustrated with getting there "too late" so Stein suggests "amping up" the compass but to do that he needs Lily's help and they pick her up and it works and she accompanies them to their next destination

o   Lily and Stein get into a fight because he conceals the fact she’s an abberration

§  Rip can do the reveal

  Episode 16

·         first off, I think the gameshow should be in Eobard's original time: Eobard can be like, "there’s no place like home” but sarcastically vs. sincerely which he'll echo when he's stranded in the past

·         Team Stein is doing the game show; Stein thinks, "this is a labyrinth, it has to be logical, I'll take the lead"; they're racing against time to get to the final piece of the spear going against the Legion

o   someone has to be left behind while the others go and "save" team Lily and Stein chooses himself bc he realizes that his skillset isn't the best skillset that would be the climax of the episode, emotionally

o   oculus!len contributing through mick's hallucinations

·         Sara, Lily and Queen B are hostages - Ray meanwhile stayed behind on the ship because he feels depressed about not being a hero; Rip is also depressed;  they both only to exit and find Team Lily - the game show people confiscate everyone's spear pieces and tools

o   They made a truce with Queen B because they need her magic to get through the tech security and she wants out of this time period as much as they do (her Emerald eye was confiscated along with Mick’s gun and Amaya’s necklace)

o   in the process they find out aaaaaaaaaaaall about Eo

o   which is why Rip is useful - he can lead them to the places where they need the materials to rebuild the missing pieces

o   They find the Flash Museum? and Commander Cold, Heatstroke, etc.? They can't visit the Flash museum the lines are too long but they REALLY WANT TO

·         so whoever wins gets the entire spear only the Legion gave fake spear pieces so even though the Legends win they don't WIN anything but the final spear piece; they ARE betting on the full set of spear pieces, the game show apologizes for not having them by giving them the dwarf star as a consolation so Ray can start rebuilding his suit? it IS the future

·         so every time you cheat, the other side gets a free turn Or a free hint. like - you're stuck at a puzzle but the other side cheats the puzzle opens for you even though you haven't solved it

·         so in the Maze episode, Oculus!Len, having seen Legion!Len, wants Mick to abandon the Legends to join up with Legion!Len Mick doesn't agree Oculus!Len therefore leaves and goes with Legion!Len therefore setting him up for joining forces with Legion!Len to fight the Legion before the brainwashing

  Episode 17

·         we get to see more of the Legion's activities and Jax's birthday/going back to the dinosaur era; they end up saving a flock of dinosaurs or something, with Jax nobly riding a Tricerotops or something

·         someone actually be impressed with how Ray survived in that time period

·         Ray happily reunited with his pet dinosaur Bambi ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bambiraptor

·         Half the time people are just quoting Jurassic Park, journey to the center of the earth

·         Mick can start the Dinotopia reference because he expects the hallucination to finish it Except it doesn't And Mick's surprised a bit sad, too; he was just getting used to having a Len around even if just a hallucination

o   Mick: "Maybe I'm finally starting to heal" Mick: "But do I really want to?"

o   that perfectly sets up Mick wanting to go with the Legion in a few episodes

·         He doesn't realize how much he was relying on hallucination!Len until he's gone, too

·         Legion!Len stops torture (they got the info they needed, enough) and fights the Legion and gets brainwashed

  Episode 18

·         Roman republic – good place for past Kendra

·         Roman Republic is when we first meet brainwashed!Len and shaken!Oculus!Len

·         Ray's suit is finally back in action; Ray gets his suit back, but it doesn't really help much

·         the Legends get the spear pieces

·         I do like the idea of Queen B pretending to be a Queen of far-off Africa come to visit Rome I think she could as long as she kow-tows to Rome's utlimate authority? and then the Legends get the brilliant idea of position Jax and Amaya as the Prince and Princess who are fighting against Queen B's illegitimate rule Rome LOVES messing with other countries' disputes And if you were powerful foreigners trying to get Rome on your side, you sponsored games

o   Oh, and we could have Stein being the educated slave Romans regularly used slaves as pedagogues

o   Gladiatrix Sara? I hope there's references to Amazons.

·         This could be the episode where Sara starts being too paranoid

·         how does shaken!oculus!len play into all of this? He goes back to Mick's side mid-episode;  Legion!Len makes his first overture to Mick coming with them; brainwashed!Len is finaly doing what he refused to do before, which is manipulate his relationship with Mick thus setting up Mick's betrayal in Camelot and mick is confused because now oculus!len is saying that he shouldn't go with legion!len, when he was saying the opposite before

·         but at this point Mick has realized how much he wants a Len back and this highlights how bad Len's communication skills can be if only he'd laid the groundwork before, he'd be able to reach Mick now but Mick thinks he's a hallucination and that Legion!Len is real and he doesn't believe oculus!len is real and he thinks oculus!len saying he should stay with the legends is just his attachment to the legends manifesting as a hallucination

  episode 19

·         They've got the spear pieces, but no manual and the previous owner was Merlin

·         Ray learns about chivalry being more than just heroics - explaining why using his suit in the prior episode felt so empty

·         maybe we could have Amaya disobeying an order and it going well

·         ray, mick, and amaya and Lens

·         maybe more friction btw Jax and Stein, with jax trying to make decisions and stein shooting him down?

·         Maybe a plotline about how the spear got broken in the first place? And Etrigan got stuck in Jason Blood?

·         Legion team up with evil Camelot characters to learn how to use the spear to its maximum wish-granting potential

·         maybe even more than the Legends do - only Mick and the Lens know

·         the Legends figure out how to put the spear back together the Legion focuses on how to USE it

  Episode 20

·         Doomworld – actual legion conquering the world can it actually be Doomworld and not just Doom-a-couple-of-cities

·         A mention where Lisa Snart is and what she's doing in that world; All the villain cameos; gotham villains?; the other heroes are either evil or enslaved

·         pretzellogic said she was thinking NOT giving Len Central, which freaks Mick out but I do like the idea of Len ruling Central

·         what's mick's role in len's empire? right hand man, of course and of course mick's at len's side, but len is also brainwashed, how much power does mick really have?

·         so what behavior does Len do that doesn't ring right to Mick?
