Even as he fights his visions (sort of) and ties her up again, he sees her asking for more, telling him that they’re alone, that it’s just him and his ‘ gordita’ (which literally means chubby or chubby little girl, but it can be used as an affectation sometimes) and there’s a serpent beside her. And of course, by “bonding” I mean he’s hearing voices and seeing visions of her wanting him to “set her free”. While Seth and his (ex?) wife argue about his choice of changing the plan and how it makes her feel to be left behind, Richie and Monica are bonding as she cleans his wound. There are also images of the ritual being performed three men holding down a woman as a fourth man cuts into her.
They look similar to what you’d expect in a ritual chamber, with serpents and female figures with painted markings obviously being disemboweled. Monica asks to see what he’s drawing, and the images look both awesome ( some nice drawing ability there, though cartoony) and also very strange ( maybe more than a little disturbing too). He then promptly starts pacing, sort of freaking out, and writing in a notebook trying to figure something out. Richie and Monica are chilling, watching cartoons, sitting on the bed when he suddenly gets a knife and unties her. The knife (and the belief system) is supposed to imbue believers with two gifts: To See and To Take Action. Apparently, it shouldn’t exist, and it shows that the cartel worships the Vision Serpent. He IDs the knife with the eye symbol on it (which was Richie’s until recently) as being a dagger used in ritual sacrifices and while written about extensively, it’s never been seen before. He’s a professor named Tanner, and apparently Freddie is consulting him on the cartel murders. You might remember him from loads of things, from Enemy of the State to Starship Troopers (though my favorite place to remember him in is The Frighteners). Also at the bar is our own Ranger Freddie Gonzalez, talking to another fun and familiar face, Jake Busey. Meanwhile, our Winnebago family gets stuck as it overheats, and our preacher goes into a local bar looking for someone to help him out.
