In Damaged, we see a snippet of the life of Calliope and her son, Dimitri. We know Calliope as the wizard behind the curtain - the woman who can hack any and every system possible. She is a huge part of the success behind Thomas Mulvaney's extracurricular activities. And her son is a psychopath. 

Dimitri and Arlo really are adorable in their own way - as much as they can be when they're trying to get away with murder. But what starts as a life or death situation turns into Dimitri and Arlo establishing their relationship. And that, in turn, leads into what appears to be a snapshot of things to come. 

The rest of this series is going to be a wild ride, and I'm quite excited to see how Dimitri and Arlo fit in with the rest of the rag tag Mulvaney/Navarro vigilante crew.
