An apocalypse is never fully dressed without a cult.

Or, in our case, she.

In 2021, that life might be possible without cis menis no longer a fringe concept.

Enter Roxanne, a new and improved breed of predator.

This would all be well and good if it werent for the fact that shes absolutely a cult leader.

They have abundant resources in their little Costco Jonestown, such as testosterone (!)

and eggs, and a full-on Turkish bath.

(For an addict like Hero, a pharmacy full of pills certainly helps, too.)

Elsewhere, trust is not so easily won.

355 and Yorick might have been on their way to a good place.

If only 355 hadnt lied about being in contact with Yoricks mother!

If only Yorick hadnt given up on her the second she relapses into superspy mode!

(Come on, dude.

A drop of emotional intelligence, acrumbof self-reflection this is all we ask.)

We even get to see 355 realize she was too harsh with Yorick andactually move to apologize(!)

before she discovers theyve abandoned her.

Its not Allisons fault, really.

*Regina Oliverlovesmen.Loves them.

Nothing but a red-blooded, American, heterosexual woman here.

When 355 is in the right (i.e., usually), Yorick isnt completely in the wrong.

When Roxanne recalls her experience with cancer treatment, she makes a razor-sharp point about theinsidiousness of medical bias.

Man, I really hope that scene where Hero and Sam get high is a one-off.

Sam has enough problems, leave him alone!

What the hell does 355 mean, she doesnt kill people?

In Yoricks defense, Allisonjustjoined their gang.

(Doesnt mean shes wrong, of course.)
