The sobbing of shame...

Bullies don't often get a chance to feel the pain they inflict. Of course there are those who say that bullies have often been bullied themselves and just inflict themselves on those weaker than they... Even then, I don't think they stop to realize the hurt they cause... or just don't care in a "I hurt so you hurt" kinda way.
Called it... I think it's funny though that Tara is focusing on the bear... like that's all she remembers...

Yeah... it's a bullet. Sorry.

Devyn has an interesting, and lucrative career if she chooses. Offer almost instant PSYCHO Therapy!

now would that be PSYCHO therapy or therapy by a PSYCHO?

Do we know for sure whether Jordon actually remembers the details of what happened to her? She remembers the insights... but does she remember the experiences which led to them?

Jordan's was a journey into a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind, which enhanced her character... while Tara naively missed the signpost up ahead.

I wonder if Tara brought the bear back with her. Inside her…

If so, perhaps it will emerge into the real world, forcing Devvn to face her demons in the flesh (so to speak). Perhaps this will be the point of this whole episode.
What happens in the lab needs to stay in the lab... because it's such a bloody drag to have to rebuild civilization all over again.

Because the rest was un-bear-able!

Drops a baby bear into the jar as he was just right.

Those epiphanies can be a real bear. And not one of the teddy variety...

I hope somebody stays with Jordan until she can come to terms with this. Right now she's full of self loathing, and might act on that to self-harm.

Because his heart was in the right place. Or wrong place, according to McCoy.

Wonder if the bear acted as a safety catch. Sort of a last ditch effort to show that you're not all that bad of a person?

Possibly Tara got the "good" ending while Jordan got the Mega-sad" ending to their adventure.
