2x03 To The Meadows

Wait, what? I'm confused. Why did Hanna react the way she did when she found the card John gave Marissa with his number, the same one that she saw call Marissa's phone? She told Marissa that she lied/she always lies, afterward, when they fought, which was referring to the card with John's number that she found. And I'm guessing she was also referring to when Marissa lied about who was calling her and said it was her ex. But I don't get it. Did Hanna think that Marissa is reporting her movements to John or something?

That was so weird. It felt forced just to separate Hanna and Marissa, and have Hanna go to The Meadows alone which in turn, was to have Hanna be captured by being mentally and emotionally defeated or whatever, instead of running away, by seeing that Clara is "fine" and "living the good life" with everyone else, something that Hanna could never give Clara, or something, I don't know. So ridiculous.

Oh, and one thing that I noticed very clearly in this episode that I didn't in the previous two episodes and recently came to the recognition of from someone else mentioning it, is that Hanna is seemingly accustomed to how the world works and knows stuff in regards to that, in the sense that she knows how to drive, is traveling all over the place, etc.

It's almost as if she wasn't just living in a forest for her entire life. I mean, you could argue that she was, at the very least, informed of stuff like that by Erik and was mildly taught some of it, perhaps, or maybe had the knowledge instilled into her memory/muscle memory when she was a baby. Still, the fact that she's so used to things like that from the get-go of this season is a little farfetched, way too convenient, and contrived.

This episode seemed worse from a general standpoint than the previous two episodes, shockingly but not shockingly. Oh, God. That dialogue between Jules, Helen, and Sandy, specifically the exchange of dialogue between Jules and Helen at the beginning of that scene. So horrifically bad.

But I guess it's a good thing that this season is getting progressively worse. That's better than if it started to get good or was relatively good at the start, then started to become way worse, then started to get good again, and constantly went back and forth. Plus, if it continues to get worse, it wouldn't be as bad if it started to become good towards the end where there's not enough room for it to go back to being worse, you know?
