Bill and Holden are getting some chops now. Their theories lead them to the solution of a big case. This will entrench them a bit because all the philosophizing and teaching isn't impressing the big boys. They continue to meet with Ed and listen to his sick presentation. They are nauseated by him, but must portray themselves as friends. It is made obvious, however, that they will be dropping more and more into the dark recesses of crazy minds of the people they interview. They are given an option to go this alone but Bill isn't about to leave a safe career. Holden is a bit of a loose cannon and, if I am correct, isn't totally different from the people he is studying. He is obsessive to a fault.
