Darling

Episode Summary

The Village Matchmaking Service targets Six, pairing him with a woman, 4-15. Six recalls 4-15 from a brief encounter his New York alter ego, Michael, had with her shortly before he was taken to the Village. 4-15, however, pretends that she does not remember Six. 4-15 and Six become lovers, and ultimately plan to marry, until 313 intervenes. 4-15 reveals to Six that she is indeed Lucy, the woman Michael knew in New York; Two has brought her to the Village to "break his heart," and break Six in the process.

4-15 apparently dies by jumping into a bottomless hole that has appeared in the Village; in a concurrent, ostensible flashback to New York, Lucy apparently is killed by an explosion in Michael's apartment.

Quotes

313: Does he not love her enough, now?
Two: Oh, no. He's hardly begun. What he feels only scrapes at the skin of love. Let him go where love is terrible.
313: Is it possible to love someone too much? Does he have to come in here very night?
Two: Love is a torment or it is not love. It'll crack him right open. And then, we can see the Six inside. The inside Six. 

Two: We always save our best lies for ourselves. 

313: Please, why am I here?
Two: If I touch your hair, you can refuse. We can all refuse. We have choices, so long as we can live with the consequences. Oh, damned consequences, huh?
