In the never-ending quest for knowledge...
and in the interests of what we loosely call "research" around here, I've looked up such diverse subjects tonight as "Stockholm Syndrome" and "shock collars."
No, I'm not going to tell you why. But I did find out that shock collars work exactly the way I need them to for my plot, and that opens the way for things to go disastrously wrong for my (putative) villain (who is no longer as villainous as she seemed at first blush)--and thus for Ben.
Stockholm Syndrome can apparently manifest in as little as three or four days. INTERESTING.
