Olivia's fear and power wrapped up in one. I think it was partly so powerful BECAUSE it - for once - cut through her underlying anger and control that she usually uses to mask any invulnerability, but, like her anger, and like her control, her fear, even in this mindwarpingly odd moment, is understated; near-silent.
I want to draw hearts around this quote so much! This is so very true of everything about Olivia, Cortexiphan and her abilities. She has so much mixed reactions to her abilities, she isn't like Nick Lane who has waited all his life to be activated, nor was she like all the other poor Cortexi-kids who have no control over their powers and end up hurting so many people and ultimately themselves.
Jones and his creepy look together with the line 'poor bastard' sent a shiver up my spine because that's the reaction to Olivia most of the time but Olivia throws all that back to their faces with something a little more extra.
