Most importantly, it was an excellent look at how Frank Mackey became the Frank Mackey that the readers were acquainted with starting from The Likeness. He remembers back to the night they were supposed to meet and recalls a noise that he'd heard coming from the abandoned house. That was actually a great thing from a character perspective, since the character would be self-aware and comfortable in their own skin and totally owning it.
