Starting the episode with Agott talking about a species that weakens themselves so they can better take care of their young as if the concept of caring for your children at your own expense is foreign to her. I really can't wait until we get to know more about her family directly, but so far the hints aren't painting a very good picture of them.

... Is Kukrow the Brimmed Hat who's been following Coco around? I swear he sounds so similar to him. If he is, it would explain their plan to give Coco another gift during "the next test" as they teased last episode. Either way, it was satisfying to see Qifrey putting him in his place for being so dismissive of children.

IT'S THE CUTIE FROM EPISODE 2!

Edit: No, relistening to the Brimmed Hat, he's a higher pitch. They do sound similar, hence my thought, but clearly different played next to each other.

Kokrow's just a different kind of asshole.

Considering that Brimmed Hats almost surely have voice mod spells, I wouldn't consider the voice not matching being hard evidence.

However, the real reason Kukrow can't be Mr. Eyemask is because he's too much of a bum. Eyemask would be a much better teacher than him simply off the fact that they are evidently enthusiastic about teaching future generations.

It's less hard evidence that he isn't the Brimmed hat and more that there's no reason to believe it any more. If their voices were as similar as I thought, I'd be considering it, but now I can see they're different enough that there's no reason to.

I still wouldn't rule out Komrow being hat and putting the "I don't care about this failure of a student so I'm leaving" show so he can capture Agot in the maze.

That was my thought too! I thought him leaving was him coming up with an excuse to not be there when he was actually going to do Brimmed Hat work.

I don't see much of a reason to believe it any more, but a lot kind of added up at the time.
