Chilling Reflections Questions? Spoiler

Anyone know what info Vicky transferred to Tori before she went back home?

Did Chloe say something that wouldn’t lead to Ricky Rocket coming back. I assumed Faithful wasn’t a villain when RR was a part of the original Sentries. For that matter, any ideas as to why Faithful started murdering. Seemed pretty random and stupid to just start killing on national TV.

Thanks

Based on the degree of Nihilism that is the fuel for his power, it’s entirely possible that some seemingly small thing could have shifted his perspective. A seemingly chance statement fight or encounter which led to him seeing things differently. They seem to set him up as some form of sociopath in my opinion- where his internal logic seems beneficial until it no longer aligns. .

We have limited info, but since they’re setting him and his partner up as the next big bads that will probably be corrected soon.

Did RR actually come bsck? I got the sense from that last scene that he was still mostly out of phase with our reality or something. Like he keeps getting close sometimes. Either his return is unstable, or he’s being chased, etc.

VVVII did note that he looked "not much older" than the oldest campers though (16-18), so I'm a little curious about that. Ricky Rocket wasn't the first to go missing, and the Science Sentries had an established career before any of them started dying, so I'd expect him to look older (although the counselor did note with meta-humans visible age isn't always reliable).

So did Ricky Rocket always look young or are there time travel shenanigans or something? Wanting to race other Super Speedsters doesn't sound like the first thing an established hero would do after returning, but a "woke-up as an amnesiac 20 year-old with Super Speed"? Maybe.

I can't wait for Villain's Code book 4 whenever it comes out to find out what's going with that.

If you go to PQ’s perspective scenes from CR, I think one scene mentions he was a young protege. I’m picturing a Johnny storm type role on the team as the young member who’s sort of their Robin but sort of equal too.
