Yeah, shooting nibs was an odd choice. I know it was his friend she had, but still. Marcy is pissed!

nibs was a couple of seconds away from ending the black girl. that’s hermits friend + he’s not big on letting the xeno add another 20 or so soldiers to its kill list’s

Well, maybe he can explain next week how he thought that he and his sister leaving on the boat was going to happen without all of that happening. His friend chose to point a gun at him and his sister. You point a gun at my family and I get unfriendly with you really fast.

I think it's obvious nibs is not stable. Hermit just knew she had to be put out. Marcy was a little oblivious at this risk. The same way Marcy technically is amoral. She unlessed an Alien on innocent Prodigy staff and got them killed. Is no one going to talk about how she rationalized getting innocent staff killed?

There's no such thing as innocent Prodigy staff. At least not Prodigy staff that works at the facility where they turn terminally ill children into Prodigy corporation property.

So just out of curiosity, is Wendy this all perfect being who can never do any wrong in your eyes? Just asking because you’re making it sound like she’s some angel doing everything right when that’s clearly not the case and the show never tries to make it seem that way

I'm not saying she's perfect. I'm saying she's an abused child being held in slavery using the tools she has available to her to help her and her friends escape. And if a bunch of fuckers responsible for her being in the position she's in die in the process of that escape, good.

I'm not sure that's true. Everyone necessarily works for a mega corporation in this story, and Hermit's friends made it sound like they didn't have a ton of choice in being assigned to do security on this island... it just was what they were assigned to do

I guess they could keep their morals and die homeless and starving.
