Is this suggesting Marten's going to do his "Save the girl, save the world" impression, by talking to Hanners alone while having pancakes, somewhat helping her relax more? I like the concept of a partially-saved Hanners, but I wonder how many people would prefer the "Let's watch Faye eviscerate Sven" impending drama instead?
Personally, a Hanners-based redemption seems like a more pleasant story arc. Let's see what develops (and pause the Sven-end).
