> Thinking about former intern now assistant Jon being Gertrude’s one remaining assistant, following her around like a little duckling. Elias figuring that Jon can get some experience before he’s promoted and if he distracts Gertrude that’s even better.

> Jon being used as a chew toy between the two of them. Elias calling Jon into his office and fucking him over his desk, asking him what Gertrude has him doing. Of course Gertrude actually tells him nothing important, so it’s not really helpful, even if Jon shares everything knows. Still Elias calls him a good boy, tells him his performance review went well and sends him back to the Archives.

> Gertrude interrogating him in her office, fingering him till he doesn’t even notice the answers are being yanked out of him. Or that he’s telling her everything Elias did to him in his office. She plays it off as a performance review as well, telling him he has done adequate. She lets him eat her out as a reward for being a good little distraction even if he does t know that’s what he is.

> Gertrude telling Jon nothing because she doesn’t know what Elias’s plan is for him. She tries her best not to get attached, but it’s hard, and she’s often harsh with him in her frustration. Jon just trying to do better, which only makes everything more complicated.

> Gertrude not telling Jon what was going to happen, hoping he isn’t as connected to the institute as her and he’ll be okay keeping his eyes, but willing to sacrifice him if necessary. Even if he is her boy, it’s the world. She sends him out of the institute at least, on a job, hoping to keep him out of it.

> Elias digging into that little fact, telling her that it would have killed Jon, but it’s okay he’s going to take good care of his son with Gertrude out of the way.

> Elias comforting Jon when he gets back to find his mum missing probably dead, the only one who understands. Everyone else just thinks he lost a boss, not that he lost something much more.

> Do you see my vision?

The emotions Jon experiences when Elias admits to killing Gertrude, the absolute devastation. Jon breaking down and crying, and no one really understanding why. The only person who would comfort him is the one who caused his distress. Jon should get to go a little feral as a treat.
