@ahysanti I think she might have had asked to leave the hub - Gogol tech would have the means to even delete memories, falsify evidence, change emotions and stuff like that. I agree with her lack of communication skills though, and I am curious to find out how and why did she tie the knot after only a date. I bet that was manipulated as well though.

Holy crap, Byron sure is creepy. The kind of psychopath/narcissist you wouldn't see coming, with his typical white boy charm, subtle gaslighting, and, in this case, that genius-level intellect and claims of philanthropism. Not a very good one though based on his confrontation with Hazel ("I'm crying." "You are the thing --" "Person." "--person!" lmao).
The fact that Hazel met, dated, was married to, and ultimately locked into the Hub with Byron all in one day is a scary thought (am curious about the circumstances though, because how the actual f does that happen?). She has a pretty big flaw though, one I've noticed even in earlier episodes: she doesn't communicate, something that's to her detriment. She had a chance to voice out her concerns when she saw the ad (though I suppose she knew well enough at this point that Byron is not the type to listen).
But why, why, would she stay for 10 years? It makes me wonder if she had just asked to leave within that time, would Byron have let her go?
And damn, Byron was actually convinced that she was actually happy and in love with him (despite possibly some doubts given her secrecy), or was Byron just in complete denial of her true feelings for him? I suppose one has to be delusional enough to even think something like Made for Love is a good idea...
I am confused as to why Byron let Hazel go. He had a whole squad with him, and it did look like he would have been willing to use force to keep her (when one of his lackeys offered to follow her). Will he really just stop after this?
Side note: girl didn't at least come up for a gulp of air before leaving the panel in the pool, and that took her all the way out of the hub. Did she get gills implanted in her too? lol
