"But we already knew he'd done that," Tim says, half over what Jon's saying, because the news of the death isn't news at all, it's just the same information they've been hounding at for ages. They know that Elias is dangerous. Gertrude, Leitner--watching the manipulation of the contract with himself and Melanie, and the blackmail to get Daisy in play after Jon confronted him on those murders.
Jon might be an object of The Eye, twisting to its work, but Elias really is a monster of it, the way he works.
So he talks over the parts of it. Of course Gertrude was going to try and destroy the Institute (why else would she have had that much C-4, that they took only part of it with them to the House of Wax), and good riddance, too, as far as Tim is concerned. But Jon gets the words it, gets the knowledge out, and Tim's left with it.
He's not dumbfounded. He'd made a joke about it, what, years ago to Sasha after she got passed up for Jon becoming the chief archivist instead of her. Not directly, but sort of. Enough of it. None of them had known, then, had they? But maybe they had, in a sort of primordial way.
"The OG, Jack Magnet himself." It's not funny. Tim laughs anyway. He drinks. "Jumping between bodies, what the--what the fuck does that mean, Jon? Reincarnating or...or what?"
