ok, i'm watching tonights ep right now, 'cause i taped it, so i'll update.
currently, Al is coming out of his shell a little more.
in a to-camera thing, he literally begged for a notebook and pen so that he could write a fic about his fellow Castaways. it made me laugh, 'cause it's just SO Al.
he seems to have made friends with one of the girls. don't know her name, but she wears a green head scarf. she was braiding his hair in one scene, and when the crates with some of their stuff arrived, she gave him a HUGE hug. which i thought was sweet.
one thing i noticed, there was a girl, quite possibly the same one Al seems to have bonded with, was talking straight to camera and she had the words 'Mr. P.' written on her shoulder.
a message from Al? lol, if it's a tattoo or something, i didn't see it before!
