But first, another quick aside on humanitys psychological constructs.
Part eight of season 2s narrated explanations focuses on the notion of moral panic.

Farouk, unperturbed, responds to David as if he were a child throwing a tantrum.
Davids response to this is that his ideas about harming Amy in terrible ways were just thoughts.
Its not like theres a handbook, David says.
Thats the nature of love, even in a world of infinite realities and time-travel paradoxes.
David destroys the world, Syd betrays her true love, and Farouk is Farouk.
Meanwhile, present Syd goes to have a conversation with Lenny.
Youre the song they play outside a hostage crisis to keep criminals from thinking clearly, Syd tells Lenny.

Speaking of uncertainty, Ptonomys delusion is finally mature enough to spread.
David is luckily away from his bed while the delusion is hatching in D3.
Hes in the tank having a conversation with Future Syd, and that talk doesnt go especially well.
David doesnt want to help Farouk, and Future Syd passive-aggressively tells him that he should quit.
He tells her that shes not his Syd.
Its entirely possible that this Future Syd is actually Farouk in disguise.
Just before Clark puts a bullet in Fukuyamas head, David appears and freezes the scene.
As is often the case onLegionthought has become reality in a major way, particularly for Ptonomy.
Inside that manufactured world, hes shushed by a knitting old woman in a rocking chair.
So what have we learned?
asks the narrator toward the end of the episode.
