What's really funny is the realization that I had. I keep forgetting that Kaplan is using the name of a character from a TV show.

That character, a woman that uses the name Mr Kaplan for backstory reasons, ended up being written out (temporarily) after she went against the lead character (of which it aint me, I'm a random fuckin NPC in Season 1 Episode 2 in the background) and proceeded to not talk to him or anyone else and do what she thought was best. Unilaterally made a decision that managed to functionally destroy everything she was trying to protect, leaving her to desperately try and clean up the mess.

Makes you think. Just hoping that this time Mr. Kaplan doesn't fake Liz's death.
