> MAG 193 has lived in my brain rent free since it aired, especially this exchange:

> > JONAH/ELIAS: Were you drawn here?
> > ARCHIVIST (STATEMENT): Yes. I was.
> > JONAH/ELIAS: Against your will?
> > ARCHIVIST (STATEMENT): No.
> > JONAH/ELIAS: Then why did you heed the call?
> > ARCHIVIST (STATEMENT): Because… this is the place I know I should be.
> > JONAH/ELIAS: Good.

> The dialogue is taken from original Elias’ conversation with James Wright Jonah but when you’re listening to the exchange it sounds like a conversation between Jonah and Jon. This is clearly intentional.

> Jon was drawn to the institute and to Jonah. The very first teaser of the podcast is a recording addressed to Jonah. He admires Elias’ knowledge of the supernatural. Jonah can call his Archivist, and when he does, Jon comes to him every time.

> Ultimately everything Jon does leads him to Jonah. Where he knows he should be indeed.
