(How did she learn how to shoot, let alone well enough to teach a roost of 20-somethings?

The answer cant just be television, right?)

Is it possible Missi Pyle is simply too good an actress?

IfRoxannehad been that good at changing her entire personality, she probably would have been an actress herself.

At the very least, shed have gotten somewhere with her good-for-nothing boss.

Then again, maybe murdering multiple strangers to defendyour Caucasian PriceMaxchanges a person more dramatically than I previously assumed.

For folks who lost the thread, lets recap in normal chronology.

First off, most of Roxannes stories were true.

She did get breast cancer.

Her husband, Eddie, did leave her, both physically and financially.

From the look on Roxannes face, whether or not the fourth woman was armed was beside the point.

Later, as she is attempting to burn the bodies in the parking lot, a horse appears.

When she approaches, it leads her home to St. Annes.

(Yes, she literally drops her name tag onto the evidence.)

What theyve really been shoring up are the rules of their own groupthink regardless of who is in charge.

Sam is not a gun guy, while New Hero is a natural.

Sam means promises Old Hero doesnt want to keep, promises New Hero doesnt have to honor.

Worst of all, Sam is in the process of becoming a different, if not new, Sam.

Hes not the unchanging, back-pocket mainstay Old Hero could indulge in without consequences when it suited her.

There is only one person here on her way up in this new world.

Nora, whose hair has beenred and wavythis whole time.

Nora, whose jacket has been green khaki this whole time.

(At least shes not a chess master.)

Maybe on some level, Roxanne recognized her as a potential rival.

Even her supply hoarding goes unnoticed amid the more obvious tension between Roxanne and Sam.

All she needs is a little leverage that cop car, that name tag and shes suddenly on top.

You dont need the building; you need the people.

But to keep them, youre gonna need more than Men suck.

Por que no los dos, Samuel?

Speaking of Sam, his encounter at the abandoned school after he leaves PriceMax feels kind of … random?

Seems a little too magical to me.

Good-bye and good riddance, freaky cat toy.

No one will remember your uncanny-valley meows.
