Went to bed last night thinking the same–V pool and necklace don't add a lot. But I've gotten used to not understanding the why or timing of some of Q crumbs.
The chase did give me some empathy for how troubling AC's childhood might have been.
Also gave me some possible perspectives about Gloria. Picture and necklaces may be evil symbols, or could be Christian symbols (even if ugly) to ward off the evil she encountered in her life.
