>> This scene is beautiful. <<

Thank you!

>> It's a lot of fun watching Flip figure out that there's directions he can bloom. <<

Sooth. He has many different options and resources to draw from, so he's got choices.

>> Flip's Mom (does she have a separate name?) is awesome, too. <<

I don't think I've specified that beyond Mrs. Coulson.

>> I'm glad we get to see her with enough energy to teach. <<

She is a terrific teacher, and I wanted to show that, to hint some of where Phil gets it.
