But it wouldn't make up for blood loss and sheer trauma, so I'm still curious as to how Liz was absolutely fine immediately afterwards. It would seem there's a bit more to it than Max thought at first. Which brings me to...

So, it seems like Max really didn't think of it as healing, at least not till that point.
| It was established that the hybrids hadn't used their powers much at all, so it's reasonable that there are all sorts of things they could do that they didn't know about, or knew about in some fashion and didn't completely understand. I always liked that aspect of the show--the self-discovery, even though they found it frightening.

I remember back in the day that some theorized that their powers were abilities that they all had, but in less degree. They compared it to drawing: We all can draw, just that some can do it really well, and some should stay away from all pencils and ink for the sake of humanity... |  And that would be me.  (I still can't figure out where my kids got their drawing ability, but it definitely wasn't from me.) I like this explanation; it makes sense, and it covers a lot of territory.

And Michael was feeling quite an emotional connection to River Dog at that point, which may have helped. I wonder if that has anything to do with healing--the willingness to form an emotional connection with the one you're healing? |
