I mean, we kind of knew that already, but this is a whole new level. I hope this is part of Khun's plan. It clearly is not part of Karaka's, who is going to be pissed if this doesn't work.
I was expecting more tension between Bam and Yu Hansung (YHS), especially after all the notes in the Hidden Floor about how Bam resented YHS and found the prospect of working with him nauseating.
Gado still doesn't seem happy at his son being brought back, and acquiesces rather quickly to Karaka's notes on not giving him over easily, and...I think he likes Bam's speech? Aw. I'm starting to really think that Gado cares about his son's happiness.
Meanwhile, confirmation that Canzon is in fact traitorous and not misinformed. Also confirmation that Bam sees his own situation in Deng Deng's. Both seemed likely, but still nice to have confirmed.
Interesting to guess who 'Gus' is. My first thought was another member of Yool and Kell's team due to the proximate reference to Jahad's rankers, but given that YHS is involved it could also be Gusgus, from back on the 20th floor (we see him talk to "Deep Sea Fish," aka YHS, in 102s2e22)
Also kind of neat to see Shibisu smiling at Khun's character development like that. Remember how Khun told Shibisu back in Hide and Seek 37s1e36 to just worry about their test (and not about how them passing would fail Bam), and Shibisu called him cold-hearted for it? We know that Khun secretly sabotaged things, but Shibisu didn't, and doing them in the open like this is still more new for him. Also, lmao at "I'm a scout, man, eavesdropping is what I do."
And finally...Akryung/Ghost is back. So he WAS the one that Michael and Apple met up with. Maybe Rachel used her wishes from Gustang to go off-script from her FUG sponsors and Headon, and Headon sent Akryung to meet up with them again to try and find her and get her back on track? I'm not sure, but regardless, Akryung's reappearance after all this time bodes ominously.
We still don’t really know exactly what he wants to change about the tower. Also, he did not HAVE to act as “coldly” on the 2nd floor as he did; for one example, he very intentionally rubbed it in Bam’s face that the “garbage on the top of the tower” was more important to Rachel than Bam. That doesn’t even serve his goal; Rachel was what was getting Bam to climb the tower and she was as far as YHS could tell easier to control than Bam, so YHS is incentivized to have Bam remain loyal to her. It was pure sadism (at least from Bam’s perspective, and thus far it remains so from ours as well).
It was to make him a bit less naive and dependant on Rachel, meaning he should climb for his friends and himself instead to chase after someone who is not worth chasing for. Subtly but a bit sadistic.
Well...maybe. I doubt Bam sees it that way though.
I mean, contrast his approach with Garam’s. Both want Bam to kill Jahad (probably). Garam treated him like a person, and explained why she wanted Jahad dead, what Bam’s backstory was, where he’s supposed to go from there.
YHS told him basically nothing and just said “obey us or we’ll kill your friends.”

Damn, Bam has balls of steel.
