That's not my sense of things, although I am surprised that the search
was over so quickly.  It hadn't even gotten boring yet.  I was similarly
surprised at how quickly the love interest on _Moonlight_ was gotten up
to speed.

I forget how he found out what was in the book, but I think that in the
book, she said that he *knew* that the recovered memories were false and
yet still pretended to treat people for them.  Basically, it was taking
the hatred of therapists one step further and depicting them as not
merely misguided, but predatory, deliberately destroying lives in order
to profit off of them.

Personally, I don't mind if he ends up like Young Indiana Jones, always

already sailed.

I've found that a lot of people treat marital separation as almost the
equivalent of complete unattachment.  I'm not personally comfortable
with that, but it's a common attitude.
