* Pete and Ben decide to go camping together and one of Ben's [[ItMakesSenseInContext traps]] catches a rabbit.

Pete assures him that it's okay not to kill things and that it would be best to let it go. Something is just telling that Ben has been forcing himself into the mindset that ARealManIsAKiller... and he's only just learning to let it go.
