Hello and welcome to beautiful Salts Neck!
Well, maybebeautifulis a bit strong.
Thats the word I was looking for.
Welcome to bleak Salts Neck, childhood home and workplace of Harmony Cobel.
Its been many episodes since we last saw Cobel, so we were due for a check-in.
The severance procedure was Cobels idea!
It was stolen by an Eagan who took all the credit!
She has the evidence stuffed inside a bronze head her dead mother stored in the shed!
Its a problem the show has created for itself.
Its setting the season up for a wild conclusion.
There are so many plates spinning, I would believe almost any theory you throw at me.
First, lets take a minute and review what we now know.
And now she feels betrayed.
Which brings us back to the issue of trust.
Reghabi doesnt think so.
Reghabi hauled ass outta there as soon as they tried to call her.
Any port in a storm, you know?
But they do have a common enemy now.
Sometimes, thats good enough.
Strange times lead to strange coalitions.
There are a lot of ways this can go.
Thats important to me.
.Does this explain everything Cobel was up to in the first season?
It definitely explains at least some of what she was up to.
It explains why Lumon had her in charge of the severed floor.
It explains why she kept pushing Mark and Ms. Casey together for those wellness sessions.
It explains why she stared at Natalie like that every time the board had input.
(YOU FOOLS ARE TINKERING WITH MY GRAND DESIGNS AND HAVING THIS STRUMPET DELIVER THE NEWS.)
Things like that make more sense now.
It always seemed to mean something more to her.
Maybe thats because it did.
Again, theres pride here, probably.
She should not have done that.
Very few plans involving infant-related subterfuge are justifiable.
My point here is that mistakes were made.
But I can see how they happened.
.What happened to Salts Neck?
Theres also a parallel here to what happened with Cobel.
Well, at least this is all dystopian science fiction and not something that happens in our world.
That would sure be a bummer.
.Does all of this make the Miss Huang situation more or less clear?
I had myself all spun up after last week with theories about clones and goats and potential immortality.
I still stand by some of those.
.Should Cobel be putting this many miles on her rickety old hatchback?
She really does seem to be driving a lot this season.
Im not sure that old clunker can handle much more.
I guess we dont know exactly how far Salts Neck is from the main office.
It seems pretty far, though.
Brushing your teeth outside is usually a tip-off that things have gone sideways for you somewhere.
I sure hope it is not!
.Where is my damn Milchick episode?
We have been on some journeys this season.
Weve been on an ORTBO.
We traced through the past and present of Gemmas story.
We took a trip to Cobels hometown.
We met Dylans wife and Burts partner.
The world of the show is expanding rapidly.
I know there are only a few episodes left this season.
That is not my problem.
