Having already put out the lantern it's hard to see—dark enough that she doesn't see the blood at all—but the familiar silhouette of the captain's nose and lips is one that's haunted more than a few of Flora's nights over the years she's known him now, and it's one she recognizes right away.

Jack who wouldn't be dropping by this time of night without some sort of purpose, and it was the realization of that which made Flora feel problematically needed by the older man. To put it another way, he was one square away from striking an instant BINGO! on the Doubletake's Daddy-issues bingo card.
