Tora relives his nightmares for Poppy and then proceeds to give Poppy nightmares with his cautionary tales; he then melts all our hearts with his bare faced admission of how love-starved he is. (OK, he didn't exactly say it that way but we can read between the lines.) Listen to Patty's song choices for this episode, 3 Libras and The Beach.
