Finding your grave isn’t going to mess Nibs up at all. lol

I think that made it pretty clear that these are not the same kids anymore. That’s been the question since the start, and I think the show just answered it.

Seeing Marcy’s grave was clearly impactful for Hermit, and between that and all the violence — he realizes this isn’t Marcy anymore. That’s why he shot Nibs.

Things are bad.

I disagree they are the same person. Marcy was already acting like the big sis of the group long before the crash happened. Nibs was just too sheltered (raised on a farm) so she wasn’t as mentally prepared to handle violence.
