Tony's wandering because... really, what else is there to do? Other than try again to get Azari out of his pod... and fail again, most likely.
To say he isn't in the best of moods would be putting it mildly.
And so the first time he catches a glimpse of someone that looks, for a moment, like Torunn, it's easy to tell himself it's only wishful thinking. The Torunn he left behind was bigger, for one. Besides, James and Francis would have known if she was there, wouldn't they? But after a second look...
"...Torunn?"
It could be a younger version of her, like with Francis, and he feels hopeful for a moment, before he fights the feeling back down. Hope leads to stupid mistakes... and besides, he's not certain having any of his kids on this ship is something to be hoped for.
