There's a public unisex restroom in the lobby of my workplace. We keep it locked for security reasons. Anyone wanting to use it has to get the key from the front desk. For kicks, I changed the label on the wooden key handle to "Internet Key 1" (It hangs on the wall under a "Restroom Key" sign).

We have a temp secretary this week.

Yes, she thought it was some sort of Internet key! One of the engineers got into the spirit and told her that she had to be very careful with it: if it got dropped, her Facebook would no longer work.

That's when she finally realized it was a joke.

I know. I shouldn't do things like that.

Probably not. The big boss and my supervisor are gone this week. I'll take off the new label in another day or two. We're privately owned and our culture supports harmless jokes, especially about technology.
 

If in doubt, just blame it on the temp!

Long gone, I suspect.

After that, they promoted me because I tend to talk to myself when I'm bored and that weirded out two of the contract workers who shared a desk within earshot: I was having a discussion with an imaginary Microsoft paperclip, if you remember those. In any case, I'm last on the list to babysit the front.
 

Now why didn't I get that kind of advice when I started out in my career!? You are TOO FUNNY!!!! LOL!

It was bugging me how fast they flash the pics in the beginning like they do the blacklist so I spent some time trying to freeze frame to capture the woman that keeps flashing.
Here are the 2 best shots I have of her. 
So what do you think?

I just did another re-watch on Redemption. I am not too sure Scottie didn't have an idea that Trevor was suppose to see Kat the way she was talking to her.
He could be a plant by her or Howard?
It really is crazy that she reacted the way she did to the fake parents if she really is not the real SH.

 

Eastcoast - on Trevor - I think he may very well be a plant - from someone.  Who, I'm not sure.  Possibilities are Howard or Red (if trying to get info on Scottie) or Scottie (if trying to test loyalty of Kat - but why in that way?)

I agree with you on SH's reaction, unless, given other hints we have had in TBL (e.g. Red talking to Ressler about Tom) , she has so "become" Scottie Hargrave and inhabited her identity for so long, that she has come to believe it herself.  It is a stretch, but possible I think.  It might be interesting to re-watch the episodes from TBL Season 3 to see if there are any other clues.

In this theory, she would want to eliminate an existing "Christopher" I would think, so in a way that would not make sense from a plot perspective, if they had planned at all at extending this beyond 8 episodes.    Just my view.

Should be an interesting episode tonight, in any case. They owe me a "one granny square" episode. If the show is great, I only crochet during the commercials.

LOL, Lara! Thanks for sharing.

east coast - I just re-watched Independence, USA episode.  The boss lady who is giving everyone their instructions in the school gymnasium says

"Do not break character for anyone or anything.  No exceptions."

then she goes on to say something like, from now on, you are that person.
So - if Scottie did replace someone, then after all of these years she is probably not going to break character.  She was in front of Kat for one or two scenes, then in front of the "adoptive parents" for another scene where she is upset.

But its just a theory.

The other interesting thing - which may or may not tie back to Red - is that the gymnasium has not one, not two, but at least three American flags.  I counted two huge ones and at least one smaller one.  I know its meant to be a US school gymnasium but I think even for that its overboard.  

And it made me think of the gym scene in the apothecary.  which also had at least one large US flag.  Well we know that flags are all over the place, and there have been some flags rather curiously positioned when it comes to Red (the torn flag outside the trailer  front and center next to Red in "Kings of the Highway" is the most obvious one that comes to mind.)

But are the two gym scenes with the flags pointing to Red as a Russian agent/double agent/duplicate person?  hmmm
