Deacon’s
(presumed
late) wife
was a
researcher
working for a firm called
Cloverblue when they met. In
a flashback sequence, she
describes her research as
being concerned with plants,
and a scene in the present
day alludes to a connection
between that research and
Deacon’s current
predicament. Just how
deep this connection goes
remains to be seen but, as
Deacon still grieves her loss,
we’re likely to see a lot of
her in flashbacks.NICE TO EAT YOU
