Can anyone explain “Welcome to stage two”?
My first thought was of a movie with a very similar last line (I can’t remember if “stage” is the right word, I’m thinking “level”?).
Earlier in the episode, Eugene was talking about stage two with Abraham. Eugene was talking about playing RPGs (role-playing games) and how the key to survival is to allow oneself to adapt to the environment. By acquiring capabilities and skills, you can shape your environment to maximize your survival and longevity.
Eugene said “I’m saying I’m in the process of said stage two. I’ve changed, adapted. I’m a survivor.”
Abraham replied “Keep telling yourself that.”
After Eugene bit Dwight in the crotch and showed his survival skills, that was when Abraham told him “Welcome to stage two” at the end of the episode.
