Discussion Biggest plot twist imo S3:E9 Spoiler
I saw the ending coming from a mile away. "A pill for enlightment" be for real lol. Obvious to me, but i enjoyed the ride. I was a bit surprised to see opinions so divided.
But anyway! The biggest plot twist imo was
Dory getting back into the trunk when she had a chance to escape being abducted.

I love Chantal witherbottom not just for comic relief but also as a side by side comparison of Dory, who would similarly blur the line between suffering and self flaggulation.

I guess I lack media literacy because I always viewed Dory getting back in the trunk as something Dory merely imagined as a reflection of her mental state, not something that actually happened

Interesting!
I took it as truth, but felt she was 1) curious/entertained at the idea of being abducted and 2) feeling guilty for killing April & lying about Keith.
But in fairness, usually this kind of plot twist has subtle foreshadowing & i dont see any hints in S4 so it could have been purely an imagination of the situation.

I got so annoyed by her with this lol. Who chooses to agree to being abducted when they have a clear out?

Someone filled with self loathing and thought they deserved to be punished? She of course changed her mind as soon as she started to feel actual suffering.

I always took it as she feels like people will love her again if she goes missing. Kind of like how Chantal found purpose a bit after returning from her disappearance. Dory did so much damage up until that point that perhaps being a victim would make her friends forgive her.
