[ Julia Shumway, the pillar of someone who is incapable of being embarrassed, is definitely embarrassed right now.

Maybe it's Wonderland and the introspection it's forced on her. Maybe it's the fact that this is the first time she's worked for someone since Chicago, someone she actually respects. The fact that her answer is awful doesn't help. ]

Corruption is front page news. I had an editor to impress and I let my ego get in the way of my integrity. It wasn't the first time, but it will be the last. [ Her ego isn't going anywhere, but her integrity is staying put. ]

[Wasn't the first time.

Georgia takes a steadying breath.]

Damn right it will be the last.

[Her voice is terrifyingly even.]

I won't fire you. People have done all sorts of things before they came here, and if we're not going to lock up former murderers, I suppose I can have a former liar on my staff. But I will be fact checking your work personally from now on. And if I find out you've lied again?

[She pulls her sunglasses off, glaring at Julia with her dead-looking black eyes. The light stings. She doesn't care. Some things are worth the headache.]

You're gonna think back to your old editors firing you and realize you got off easy.

[ Julia worked in Chicago, and then suffered under the Dome. She's seen some scary things. But nothing has quite affected her quite like this. She averts her gaze from George's terrifying gaze and sinks back into her chair, her cheeks flushing in embarrassment and unease. ]

I understand. [ She certainly deserves it, and the least she can expect is having Georgia single-handedly fact check everything she writes. It's better than the alternative, which is her not being allowed to write at all. ]

And I am sorry. I never wanted to disappoint you.

[ She cares a lot more about what George thinks of her than she cares about impressing her, which is saying a lot. ]
