Overview
Sine Qua Non is the confirmed[1] title of episode 8 of season 4.
Summary
- According to Michael Taylor, this episode "features the return of another favorite character, who’s undergone something of a crisis since we last touched base with him… or her. Oh, and we also look deeply into the character of Jake the dog."[1]
Notes
- Sine qua non is a Latin phrase meaning "without which it could not be". It is famously used by Andrew Jackson, who says the following after receiving an honorary degree from Havard: "E pluribus unum, my friends. Sine qua non."
Analysis
Questions
- Who is the "favorite character" that Taylor refers to?
- Given that the Latin phrase sine qua non is a legal term, could the character in question be Romo Lampkin, who is, by most accounts, a "favorite character"?
