The Sweepers Are Comin' Comparison Gar: "It’s time to go home." || Mr. Parker: "Long live the Centre." [2x22 Bloodlines: Part 2 || IOTH]
Parker: Why did you come for me? Ethan: Mother’s voice told me to. Parker: She told you to save me? Ethan: Just to go. Even though I’d been there before, sort of. Parker: What do you mean? Ethan: Well, ever since I can remember, I’ve had this repeating vision. I’m in a burning room and this woman emerges from the smoke to save me. She’s wearing this ring...and the reflection off the ring is so bright that I’ve always thought of it as like a beacon for her. Parker: She’s our mother. Ethan: Yes, I know that now because you look just like her. Tell me everything that you can remember about her. Please. [The Pretender 2001] This scene reminds of Harry Potter. He's been told so many times that he looks like James except for the fact that he has Lily's eyes. And whenever someone he doesn't know tells him that, he feels almost a bit disappointed. And yet, when Sirius tells him so, he looks so content and pleased. It looks like this happens here, too. Miss Parker looks so glad that it's finally someone she truly cares about to tell her that she looks like her mother. She is told by her half-brother, a brother she *truly* loves, that she looks like Catherine, and she's ecstatic. And her smile when Ethan asks her to tell him everything about Catherine is just lovely. I think this reaction only happened one time before, when Angelo told her that she looks just like her mother at the end of Bloodlines (2.22). That was her best smile, ever. And she was glad to tell Angelo about Catherine, too. She didn't know that Angelo wasn't her brother, yet. And their conversation was lovely.

"I’ve narrowed your brother’s identity down to these two files."
"One of those belong to you?"
"No. I am not your brother."
Amazing stuff from my fave tumbler.

No episode of The Pretender makes me more emotional than Bloodlines 1 and 2.
I've never seen such an emotional season finale after this one. It really gets underneath...
Parker: Jarod! Jarod: Looks like another dead end. Parker: I know all I need to know. Jarod: Do you? After all the deceit and all the betrayal we’ve both experienced how do you know what the truth is? Parker: Fenigor had no reason to lie. Jarod: Then you’re going to have to shoot me, because I’m going to find out the truth. [S2E22 - Bloodlines (Pt.2)]

Jarod: Yours and your fraternal twin brother, who supposedly died at birth. Instead he was whisked off to NuGenesis. I’ve narrowed your brother’s identity down to these two files.
Miss Parker: One of those belong to you?
Jarod: No. I’m not your brother. But one of these files does belong to him.
Miss Parker: Him?
Jarod: And the other to a boy named Bobby. But you know him better as…Mr Lyle.
Miss Parker: So you’re telling me that my brother is either a psychotic killer or Mush Head?
Jarod: It’s unmistakable.
Miss Parker: I need a drink. A big one.

Jarod: He’s slipping in and out. My parents, tell me about my parents. Parker: Who killed my mother? Fenigor: The man in the dark suit. The man in the dark suit. Parker: Who is the man in the dark suit? Fenigor: The man who killed your mother. Parker: Who is he? Fenigor: Jarod’s father... [S2E22 - Bloodlines (Pt.2)]
I love the fact in the first two pics they avoid looking at each other: in the first it's Parker who looks at Jarod, in the second it's him who looks at her... These two really *must* be a couple!
Parker: Mr Fenigor. Mr Fenigor. Fenigor: Oh, Catherine. Parker: No, I’m her daughter. Fenigor: Oh, oh. Parker: My mother… isn’t here. Jarod: She is… in spirit. Parker: How’d you get back into the Centre? Jarod: The same way I’m going to get out. Parker: If you get out. Why’d you come? Jarod: I want to know who I am. And I’d rather die trying to find out that live not knowing.
[S2E22 - Bloodlines (Pt.2)]
Ok, maybe I'm a hopeless shipper, but *to me* she's glad to see him. Don't you see a light in her eyes, when she sees Jarod is there, too? Well, I see it. *_*
Sydney: His regression is complete and irreversible. I’m sorry. Parker: Will he remember anything? Sydney: Well, he’ll remember all that’s important. Where are you going? Parker: Unfinished business. [S2E22 - Bloodlines (Pt.2)]
Mr Brewster: Is that your family? Jarod: It will be. Someday. [S2E22 - Bloodlines (Pt.2)]

Jarod: It doesn’t have to be this way. New blood for the Centre. Your mother would be so proud of you. Miss Parker: Save it! Jarod: I saw your face when Angelo gave up his last treatment for Davy. Miss Parker: Keep moving.

Jarod: He’s okay to travel now. We have to move. Miss Parker: I can’t let you leave Jarod, you know that. Jarod: Is this what your mother would have done? Gar: It’s time to go home. I love the way MP looks at Gar, I think she could even kill him! Jarod, as always, uses her mother’s memory to make her ponder…

Angelo: Fenigor knows. Parker: Yes. Yes. But I hoped you did too. Angelo: She played for you! I play for you. Parker: That was beautiful. [S2E22 - Bloodlines (Pt.2)]
