bill mentions HOW IMMUNE HOLDEN IS when facing the violent offenders they interview / study and try to understand . but if we pay closer attention , we notice it’s actually not entirely true . yes , holden shows incredible RESILIENCE dealing with such difficult topics as the ones he & his partner work on , however in eps 5 & 9 , when holden feels threatened by frank janderman & richard s.peck respectively , it becomes obvious how TENSE he can also be . the way he jumps at their provocations is mostly a sign of how THOROUGHLY INVESTED he is in the interviews he conducts ( contrary to bill , who’s extraordinarily calm & doesn’t show any kind of physical reaction at all ) , but it’s also the first step leading to holden’s panic attack in ep 10 .
