Because I came to the show late, I saw this ep AFTER seeing the Ringer, and FdL (I got hold of the first 5 eps after watching FdL)... so I wasn't surprised he imagined Cora instead of Beth. I kinda saw the show as a love triangle... cause my first eps were about his fascination and obsession with Cora... and he seemed to be developing a relationship with Beth but not yet able to throw off his first, enduring, and decades-long obsession with his vixen of a wife.
It gave me a different perspective than for most of you I think. For better or worse... Cora just seemed such an intrinsic part of him to me.
