I'm glad the bit with Mirage and Hound came across - you wouldn't believe how much time I spent wrestling with that scene!
With Ratchet and 'Jack's conversation, I wanted to show that WJ had reached the point of being willing to tell TB and talk to Hoist before Starscream went and let the cat out of the bag (otherwise it'd be a little too much a case of Seeker-ex-machina, lol.)
But tense, emotionally-charged discussions are coming. Starscream's intervention may have bumped up the schedule, denying WJ the option of making endless excuses and putting things off indefinitely, but he's still got a lot of 'splainin to do, and he's going to have to find the courage within himself to do it. In a perverse way, Starscream has helped by solving his dilemma about how to broach the topic, but where WJ goes from there is entirely up to him.
