> What really got my attention was what Kerry was saying to Vizh, and how little basis it had on anything Vizh did or said to her. Makes me wonder...did she come up with that on her own, or is Danny telling her things designed to seperate her from family? The latter could be quite scary for his future tendencies (or soon to be present).

This scene was really the closure of the earlier section "On Mircandalee and Kerry", where Kes outlines her doubts and fears now Vizh has twins to occupy his affection. It's every older child's secret worry, but of course Kerry being Kerry it can become an explosive paranoia.

At the end of that scene we hear:

Ã¢â‚¬Å“Me and Vizh, talk?Ã¢â‚¬Â Kerry snorted. Ã¢â‚¬Å“We only ever really connect when one of us has screwed up to epic levels or the worldÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s about to end. Or both.Ã¢â‚¬Â

Ã¢â‚¬Å“Be careful what you wish for,Ã¢â‚¬Â Mircandalee said superstitiously.

This is the chapter where that bit of foreshadowing comes true.

> Galtivac better be careful with that vacuum hose. Visionary causes really bad heartburn.

How would anybody know this?
