I know a lot of really wonderful people with fucked up abusive pasts (it’s no accident they keep showing up as the heroes in my work) and I find one common trait is their inability to give themselves enough credit for how far they’ve come.
Dutch thinks meeting Johnny on Lucy saved her life through the influence of John’s innate goodness, totally overlooking her own — because Khlyen never let her value the good in herself. Her secret fears boil down to “Dutch – Johnny = Khlyen”. I hate that she believes her true nature is so tenuous, and that she won’t let herself own (yet!) that she’s the ultimate creator and arbiter of Dutch. That factors into 210 and where I would take her in Season 3, so we used 209 as a place to clarify.

It is not my job to stop you from going full Khylen and murdering everyone who gets in your way. You could stop yourself...
