I was happy to find out that Simon (Dominic Monaghan) had gone "underground" with the QED ring and not decided to turn it over to the evil powers-that-be, but his hidden status didn't last very long and within the first few minutes of "The Negotiation" he's tracked down and caught. Of course, he gets caught in the most enrapturing way possible; held at bay by a sextress extraordinaire. I really hope they keep Simon stubborn. He's at his absolute best when threats just roll off him and I don't think I'd buy him finally cooperating with Hellinger unless he was trying to double cross him.
