PANCAKE finds Scarlet heading into Delaware and towards the north-eastern
seats of learning and power. There she meets a Messiah figure, but swiftly
becomes disillusioned. If her Latino revolutionary was all action, this
Messiah is all talk. "He doesn't uphold the values which he preaches. He's
deaf to the real needs of the people and is becoming drunk on the kind of
power which he once denounced."
-- Scarlet's Walk bio
"She [Scarlet] picks herself up from division. And she moves on into Delaware and then on up through New Jersey and she's following a different sort of questioning now with Pancake and it's about power. She's on the east coast. She's going through arguments in her head. She's weighing as much as she can and she's taking in information. She's going and listening to people speak. She's very much where the learning centers quote-unquote are. And she's, um, drawn to hearing how people see the world. There's someone in this who has alot of power. And she's drawn to this person who speaks. And who's able to rally people. But he doesn't seem to really walk it. And there're other people then that she begins to look at more closely. Whether they're leaders, or whether they're, hmm, people she knows. People who say one thing, and yet it just doesn't feel right and there's so much at stake. She believes at a certain point America's soul is at stake. The moral compass has been manipulated. And that's what she's discovering."
