the hypnotic is a test on dean’s self - restraint. how long can he witness shady deals and the exploitation of women before resolve crumbles ? it hasn’t yet but there’s only so long dean can bear looking the other way. tells himself it’s for the GREATER GOOD. that he’s of no use to anyone if he gets himself caught catching little fish before he can shut down the whole pond. excuse rings hollow , especially tonight when he’s particularly on edge. impatience accrues and he knows he’s liable to do something stupid if he hangs around so he decides to call it a night ; to go home , toss and turn for a few hours and come back more - or - less refreshed. he’s on his way out the door when he overhears. it’s nothing new , men who won’t take no for an answer , ranks low on the list of misdemeanors going on in the club at anytime but it’s something dean can intervene without raising any red flags so he redirects mid - stride. “ hey , pal , i don’t know what ‘ no ’ means in sleazeball but the lady here’s trying to tell you to fuck off , capisce ? ”
