Adoring the new asides!
As an extremely logical person who deals with a lot of intrusive thoughts (and borderline delusions sometimes), the crew did a fantastic job at portraying the balance of these thoughts with logic.
How you sometimes still need to check to ensure the intrusive thought is wrong, even as your logic continues to repeat that there’s no way its true.

AND LOGAN FINALLY GETS MAD!! I hate that Remus of all characters tipped him over, when everyone else has ignored him so much. But I suppose it’s just because they’re such perfect counterparts.
This episode really pushed that Logan is being ignored because other important things keep happening. That Logan can acknowledge that Thomas’ newfound connection to Nico is important to Thomas’ health just as much as a clean apartment is, but is upset that his carefully planned.. plans are being pushed aside for spur of the moment decisions.
And finally solid confirmation of the orange side! Gonna be honest, I’m really hoping this is just Logan. That Logan comes in two parts, calm logic, and seething anger. As we have seen other side’s get angry, but none have shown the orange eyes like Logan did. It would fit thematically as well, given how often Logan pushes that he has no emotions. Almost like he’s (possibly subconciously) denying that he is a very emotional side. And that Patton (Logans direct opposite in roles) encompasses a lot of Thomas’ positive emotions.
I’m sure Im not the only one who can get really angry when going down a logical deep dive into something Im passionate about. In a lot of what I do, Logic and Anger are nearly hand in hand. And besides, when one is angry, they tend to think its a logical conclusion even when it may not be. Anger is an emotion that feels logically driven, even if its logic is flawed. So it wouldn’t be too shocking to see Logan be the orange side.
Alongside a connection like this bridging the gap between Romans dubbed “light and dark” sides. Where Virgil is one aspect (in name) in two spots depending on how one looks at him, it would be nice to see a side that is in both sides at once rather than Virgils grey area. Where logic is good, but can lead to anger which would be viewed as bad. A side that cant exactly be seen in a positive light (anger), being simultaneously one that is rarely seen in a bad one (Logic).
