Iit's lazy energy, it doesnt change the past, and it doesnt shape the future
man what these kids went through already was cruel but we needed to see the ramifications on their entire lifes, not just the kids, but also their parents and how society treated them, to fully understand the whole picture, and this episode gives you that exact picture, and it just aint pretty, its not like once you're out, that sh$$t follows you your entire life, that "half in half out" is not just a throaway line, the moment this stuff happened to them they became different from regular people in society, and both their right and the people reacting to them is bound to change, and you see it this episode both in small details and in bigger picture stuff like the last scene, but this is a necessary episode nontheless
so i was surprised by the dip in rating this episode got(maybe some people were annoyed with changing from kids to adults and having to get accustomed to new actors) i actually liked it more for this exact reason of showing the consequences for the adults and how its not just a temprary trauma but one that follows them their entire lives, its what makes this even more heartbreaking
