Here is.

While I would rather we got on with it, this one is actually funny.

"Do good things, and hit people that want to make the world a worse place"

Why can't it always be this simple?

For start, because there is no reliable source of objective morals.

Also, if you would be hitting people that want to make the world a worse place, you would be arrested. In some countries for treason.

It's "Treason" or "Rebellion" or "Mutiny" or "Insurrection" if, AND ONLY IF, you are unsuccessful

Well, yes, but in most countries is impossible to be successful in single action. So, either group effort (but that's terrorism if you fail) or evading the police between actions.

It's much better if someone else will try. Or if everyone thinks it was someone else.

Ok, note to self
Set up patsy to take blame and/or fall when things go wrong before I start Project X

Just one problem
How do I keep the patsy from claiming credit or reward when things eventually go right?

That reminds me, I need to re-do the data entry for Project X with the current schema.

This screams perfect setup here, problem is, who'd be the mastermind and who'd be the patsy?

It occurred to me, based on the commentary, Dan really wanted to make sure he showed Catalina and Rhoda bonding, I may be reading to much into it and he's only doing it because Catalina and Rhoda are cute together no matter what setting, or maybe there's another reason.

Like maybe Catalina turns out to be another one of the heroes after all, just like Rhoda took Susan as inspiration to be a force of good, maybe Catalina has a similar epiphany because of Rhoda?  Or maybe Catalina becomes someone that Rhoda feels strongly enough towards that she becomes even more empowered, like Susan was a catalyst to want to fight evil, but Catalina gives her the resolve to keep going.

I hope so.  Otherwise this whole sequence has been just a waste of time.  Granted several of them were either cute or funny, but still a waste of time overall.

If you think you're the Mastermind, you're probably the patsy...

Thc converse of this isn't true however.
