Um, can we get Isabella into some kind of intensive trauma-therapy program?
This plot is doing too much and also not enough at the same time.
I say this even though the July 99 plot just got interesting for the first time since Isabella arrived.
His name is Trevor brother of Lisa (R.I.P.
), ex-boyfriend, and kind of a jerk, if Im honest.
She also tries to distract him by smashing her face onto his face.
Its a noble effort, but it fails.
After Trevor leaves, July of 99 returns to its regularly scheduled teen love-triangle programming.
Two teens in 1999 who are obsessed withThe Matrix?
Who is Isabella to come between soul mates like that?
Anyway, cut to December.
Isabella then pulls out her Christmas gift to Megan, an obscenely expensive new monitor for her computer.
So, you know, things are still a little weird between our ride-or-dies.
You never know if it could be used against said best friend in a murder investigation six months later.
That is simply not ride-or-die behavior, Isabella.
Im still rooting for you, but come on.
Isabella agrees to go, but not before dropping one more bombshell.
Debbie, theres something under my bed that Megan wanted to get rid of, Isabella tells her.
You should ask her why.
All I know for sure is that Isabella is not to be trusted with sensitive information.
Clues to Watch
Why, exactly, is Megan trying to hack the Feds?
Is this still considered white hat hacking?
How did Lisa die?
What happened to Brent?
Im also going to need a lot more information about Isabellas so-called diplomat parents.
