*** POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING ***

This leads him into getting a great equalizer to combat this evil. Their banter works in elevating the threat. This moves events into the final stages. The writing constructs the new direction with a sense of pause behind it. Spector’s rage is overflowing to take care of business. Damn the consequences.
