Summary
There’s a trick with pretty people, sometimes, where you think you know them; some sort of pheromone thing designed to draw you closer. But he knows this woman. He knows her, and he’s never seen her and he’s never seen anyone like her.
In the second before she turns, Hawk knows—something. Feels it in his stomach, a fishhook yank. Knows she matters. Will matter. Has mattered. Something to do with time. My own true— My darlin’— all this noise in his head—
“Hi,” she says. The noise cuts out.

Summary
If he weren’t so distracted, he might be wondering what disquieting dream vision or hastily telephoned-in information from the Bureau had dragged Cooper out into the woods so early in the day. Instead, looking at his dishevelled appearance, Harry feels weak with love.

Summary
Cooper’s been shot, and Albert still doesn’t know where they stand with each other. Which is symptomatic of who they are. You could fill a book with everything left unsaid between them; not that Albert’s planning on writing it, but he’s got a fair idea of how he wants it to end. Maybe not with sunshine and roses - some people aren't meant for happy endings, and he’s pretty sure that includes him - but with honesty and hearts laid bare. Tonight isn’t quite that, but it’s a start.
Missing scene for episode 9 ("May the Giant Be With You").

The newly-crowned Fire Lord Ozai offers his firstborn son to service in the temple.
