Episode 4149:
Cylon George lost control of a car on a snowy freeway years ago, and he uses the steps skid training teaches as a map for the moments when life itself starts to slide: ease off the gas rather than getting busier, keep both hands on the practices that get abandoned first in a crisis, look at where the next stretch of road should be, and steer there. His point is that outside control is often gone, while control of the inner response never is.
