Summary
In which Maxine plays match-maker, Sam gets picked on, Jody smashes the patriarchy, Owen is terrible, Simon is terribler and Zoe is the terribleist. Also I guess Jack and Eugene make out or something, WHO EVEN KNOWS at this point. Spoilers for everything up to the S2 season finale, and it especially helps if you've played side missions 14 and 18.
