Personally I was surprised at how willing Victoria was in becoming an asset again. Her new agency made clear that they have been watching her, that they know that she was being hunted, that they knew she was involved in the jailbreak, that they killed her pursuers, and that they were able to leak disinformation to stop the hunt.
I suppose one subtext was that they really could have arrested her at any time.
Tap for maybe spoilers
I have watched and read enough espionage stories that I don’t really know what might constitute a spoiler, so I am putting these thoughts in a spoiler section. I am anime only and do not have any familiarity with the source material.
The agency had made it clear that her “safest” course of action (also convenient for the agency) involved some sort of expedition to acquire medication or something related to this special medicine. While the messenger was very nice and polite about it, the subtext was pretty clear, though.
Jeff is her new handler whether he knows it or not. I am leaning towards not because he has been “getting it” extremely late whenever the question of getting anything comes up. He did surprise me in these last two episodes even though the EP implied he would join Vicky and Nonna in some capacity.
I suppose you don’t have to elaborate if you don’t feel like it.
