this episode was SO UP MY ALLY YOU DONT UNDERSTAND.

eclipse acting quick and not really thinking things through after hearing jake's voice, just trying to help his kid, getting tricked, then supposedly being skinned alive to be used as a meat suit while the mimic still uses jake's voice the entire time.

being trapped in his own head again after years is so unbelievably fucked up, especially in the way it was done too. just like the first time he is stuck watching, fighting for freedom as someone else lives his life, right in front of his very own eyes, and he is helpless to do anything about it

it also feels like a tad of a "taste of your own medicine" situation, very reminiscent of the OLD old tsams arcs with the whole theme of control
