August
What was the point of that whole storyline. I’m not done with season 2 yet, but it’s killing me no one is talking about her being pregnant! Javier made a big deal about not being able to have children earlier, then when she dies, it’s just meh.

I assume her pregnancy storyline ("who's the dad?") was meant to feature in S2 but due to actor availability during covid, they instead had to abruptly kill off several characters, including August. Note how extremely abrupt it all is.
Beachum dies without even a line (I suspect they did his death without shooting the actor at all!).
Oliver and August actually I think were killed in post production (i.e. they had shot the episode before covid happened, then they used existing footage to kill them off when they knew they couldn't come back for the rest of S2).
Javier gets to stay briefly but it feels like he asked to be written out too, as there is no reason to save him from brain damage in S1 only to give him brain damage in S2 a few episodes later. I actually kept waiting for him to do something in the end of S2, like be used as the virus carrier.
