The inaugural episode of *The Audacity* proved to be truly chaotic, with countless characters feeling as though their world was crumbling around them; yet, it all felt strangely well-coordinated, and we could already glimpse the points of convergence where all the characters would begin to intertwine. By the end of the first episode, Orson discovered—while eavesdropping on Duncan’s therapy session—that neither of his parents had wanted to take responsibility for him following their divorce; furthermore, he ended up locked in the basement when the housekeeper noticed that the door to the small room where he was hiding had been left open.

I just hope this momentum doesn't fizzle...
