Gary Brandt delivers his most emotionally raw and rage-fueled chapter yet in this episode from The Dimension Of Mind Dot Com when what starts as typical teenage reluctance to return to school becomes a confrontation with pure evil that tests every moral boundary the girls possess.
After discovering Admiral Rodriguez needs Patricia for a military briefing about mysterious craft, the girls pile into a limousine expecting routine consultation work, only to find themselves face-to-face with Frederick—the military predator who repeatedly raped their sister Margaret.
The horror isn't just recognition but the immediate psychic assault of his thoughts: 'What kissable faces, especially the dark ones' and 'I can't decide which one to fuck first' directed at these fifteen-year-old girls.
Brandt's genius is in showing how their shared trauma bond makes this personal violation multiply exponentially—they didn't just absorb Margaret's memories to help her heal, they made her rape their own lived experience, turning therapeutic sacrifice into a weapon that cuts both ways.
But the real emotional devastation comes through Ella's internal monologue where righteous fury meets moral crisis in ways that showcase Brandt's understanding of how trauma creates dangerous emotional crossroads.
Her diary entry reveals the terrifying moment when she had 'murder in my heart' and 'actual premeditated thoughts' about using their psychic abilities to kill Frederick, recognizing that 'we have abilities that could make such thoughts reality, and that terrifies me.' The chapter's brilliance lies in how it transforms a routine military briefing into a masterclass on interdimensional portal technology through Helena and Patricia's technical explanations, while simultaneously exploring the psychological cost of their unique sisterhood through Melanie's therapeutic insight that sharing Margaret's trauma made it 'part of their shared consciousness.' The contrast between discussing quantum mechanics and processing sexual assault trauma creates a uniquely complex emotional landscape, ending with Ella's soul-deep exhaustion and fear of her own capacity for violence—a fifteen-year-old girl grappling with the knowledge that love can create both healing and homicidal rage, depending on who threatens the family you'd die to protect.
