“Where did you go?”

The first time we hear that question, it’s the start of Episode 7, and Gemma (Dichen Lachman) is somewhere deep within Lumon headquarters having her blood drawn. Watching the small vials with green lids fill up one by one, Gemma’s mind drifts back to when she first met Mark (Adam Scott) at a blood drive held in the campus library. Back then, they were just fellow teachers making the most of some downtime during a shared good deed, unaware their polite yet potent flirtation over a research paper titled “All Quiet on the Western Blunt” would alter the rest of their lives.

That’s the way love goes, though. It tends to arrive as if from nowhere and then, suddenly, it’s like it’s always been a part of you.
