“Fun fact: Minnesota law didn’t require hospitals to let visitors see their same-sex partners without an advance directive until 2013.”

If you have no other visitors and no immediate family, that’s BS. Even Ohio wouldn’t stop you from visiting during hours, no matter what your relationship was, unless they were explicitly told NOT to.

WHAT THE HELL MINNESOTA. And wow that nurse. What a dick. That advanced directive feels like an olive branch somehow.

In reply to SuperNova. I immediately thought of Desdemona's handkerchief - the key detail that reveals to the characters the nature of the tragic misunderstanding.

There’s something that feels appropriate about Al having granted Brendan power of attorney (or something close to it) in his advance directive. Makes what Brendan is about to do seem…better, somehow.

So in the end Al came through for Brendan.
He chose not to hide him when it came down to it. He’d rather be exposed than have Brendan face not being able to see him, know anything about his condition or not be able to decide for him. That’s one hell of a vote of confidence, especially for someone with as many issues as Al.
Too bad, he couldn’t face his issues earlier. More for his own sake than for Brendans.

In reply to Jibbia.

Wait– Since Brendan is still (present-time-track)trying to figure out who built the New Al, if he (will have- next sequence in this flashback?) records his personality etc., that someone else must have stolen/copied the recording, eh?
Curiouser and curiouser! The plot thickens!

In reply to Disco. (fortunately {?}, i don't really have experience with That Kind Of Thing, so i wasn't aware of those specific Nuances and Connotations, Discotheque.)

well, to be fair, not many people designate their strictly-business partners as people able to make medical decisions for them! it’s pretty obvious that someone named in an advance directive would be more than a business partner, and likely more than a friend, too.
