Thinking about wishes and wish lists and who grants those wishes (or doesn’t).
And also, how you could wish to be a star, and sign a contract, but then your fate is in their hands.
Just thinking about how the head of the Met Police was Cressida Dick. And she protected THE Family (and others ). 🤔
But love was a cold bed full of scorpions (/zombies)
The venom stole her sanity
And if you'd never come for me
I might've lingered in purgatory
Oh and the episode she dies in is called The Slaughterhouse - which made me think of Sluaghterhouse 5…
Maybe it’s irrelevant but putting out here just in case it connects something for someone!
There are some connections to The Night Agent - Isobel has a difficult relationship with her father (The Broker) but she doesn’t want to get to know him by the end and it’s the father, rather than daughter, who dies.
Bit of a leap, but I got thinking what if it’s Ofelia and not Ophelia? Of course I realise there is a lot pointing toward THE Ophelia, but T has been know to throw in the odd red herring (red - her - ring?).
The character is bitten by a zombie in Season 3 Episode 13.
Sorry should have cropped that! Riverdale sounds insane. I’ve been a bit put off by the the number of seasons but maybe it’s time!
Hmm.
Yes! I thought that about the date too! There’s so many connections and I didn’t do the greatest job of documenting them all but I think it might be worth revisiting a bit more systematically.
Like I noticed there was ship called ‘May Ship’ and 5s are coming up all the time (it’s gonna be MAY/ME!)
And the assassin and his son are playing Dungeons and Dragons in their hotel room - the purple dice features a few times.
The assassin (know as The Father) uses Blue 88 as a truth serum on Peter.
Also, the president’s wife is reading Wizard of Oz at the end to their children.
This is where I should draft these things first - forgot something important! The cipher key is OFELIA, and then when they look up the word in Grimm’s Fairy Tales, the actual password is GOLDEN!!
Honourable mention to the beach memory scene with Peter’s mum, which felt very like the one in Billy’s mind in Stranger Things. Peter has a red/pink Razzmatazz icecream - which is also what the episode is called. For some reason this is ringing bells but I can’t think of the connection yet…
There’s a long explanation of how to work the cipher too - with mention of other ciphers, including the ROT13 cipher.
The book needed alongside the key for the encryption was a rare edition of the Grimm Fairytales, but also Jacob MONROE makes a big deal out of having a first edition of The Great Gatsby, that was also from the OFELIA bookshop. Isabel points out it should be in a museum for all to access.
Spoilers for season 3 alert 🔔
I finished watching The Night Agent and there are so many NR connections! But the big one that had me gasping is a drive full of incriminating files (yes, like *those* files) and a cipher needed to access it. And the password?
OFELIA
Her name! The Louis Tomlinson x Taylor Swift of it all is not lost on me
You mentioning TNT and destruction made me think of this - I was watching the Night Agent and on the explosives there was a M112 label - the 112/211s out there in NR land haunt me! ‘Used for light demolition work and sabotage’.

Yeh it’s weird - she seems pretty put out by it though.
Oh but wait! She says otherwise on IG
Her posts recently have felt very NR to me. Hmmm.
👀 Could this be the last waltz? Please let it be! (Don’t know why I do this to myself and even suggest it…)
It’s such a beautiful book. I read it and couldn’t stop thinking about it! I’m not going to say anything and spoil it for you, but read it when you can and then let me know what you think - I’m dying to discuss it with someone in detail!
Watching the Night Agent and some of the names (Peter, Rose) and numbers (12, 31) got me wondering. That and the corruption + double agents + making a ‘deal with the devil’. But either way, interested to learn about M112 explosives this way.
I’m obsessed with the connections between their work! I have a feeling it something to do with changing endings - both are saying they were saved from drowning/head in oven scenarios - but in both cases it’s been attributed to finding a man.
Oh sorry, just seen you already made this link 😅
Ok, so I think I get Lana’s random White Feather etc etc song title! Look
What comes up! How many NR motifs can you spot?!!
Paddington? Not exactly sure but he’s a bear all over the place at the moment. There’s a famous sketch from the Jubilee with the Queen (2022). I think the bears tie to childhood mostly though, but could be wrong!
Yes!!
