This might sound dramatic but I don't think it's an accident that right before the team splits over whether or not to stay in the wilderness, Misty lost her glasses. Misty hasn't faced physical danger in the way that many others have, up until this point she's felt more useful and valued in the wilderness than she ever did in her life at home. So having Misty face a personal physical threat to her safety was very purposeful at this time. I hope and I do think that Misty will take Nats' side in the division of the team.
do you ever think about shauna telling jackie "i love you" and jackie not saying it back and then in the next scene shauna telling jeff to say he loves her and promising she wont hold him to it . or about jackie telling shauna "you're the best friend ive ever had. you know that, right?" only to have dying hallucinations of shauna coming outside to reconcile and say those words right back . there is much that is wanted and much that is unspoken. what is hunger without insatiable desire

misty cannibalizing nat through her grief, not by eating her whole, but instead consuming the skin of her. grafting the masks nat wore onto herself. striping away nat's flesh and wearing it as her own, but never rendering the meat and bones underneath into an unrecognizable mush. her grief is eating at her, but she won't let her grief eat away at her understanding of who natalie was, the memory of her. she sees a reflection of nat in a mirror, rather than the ghost of her. nat's death haunts her, yes---the guilt gnaws at her, sending her into a spiral of whiskey and self-destructive behavior, paralleling nat yet again---but what remains of nat in her psyche is not a personification of her own guilt and doubt and self-hatred, but instead a vessel for self-actualization. she stands up for herself in that bar. she's combative when she thinks the two men are laughing at her, finally asserting herself in face of the bullying and shame she's been subjected to all her life. she lashes out at walter, finally asserting boundaries, finally verbalizing how much she hates the dynamic she has with him---and in tern expressing how much she hates the dynamic she has with the others, even if she isn't able to admit it yet. misty is tired of feeling used and ignored and forgotten---just as nat was and still is, even in death---and through donning nat's own armor (her leather jacket and eyeliner) and grieving her loss, misty will be able to transform into something beyond the roles she's forced herself to play for so long. misty's love for nat isn't destructive and all-consuming, but transformative and mending
I think that weird things happen sometimes when you're trying too hard to fight the way things actually are. I mean, we keep telling ourselves that Mom is a basically good person, and that all this bad stuff that happened to her couldn't be helped, but... what if she's actually a bad person?
