The plunge from normalcy into intrigue for Meg is a lot like a drag race, 0 to 60 as fast as possible. I want to say I found Meg's pride annoying, but frankly if someone paid off my debt without telling me, without asking me, I would verbally tear them to pieces at the very least. I didn't even grow up truly poor, but pride is a terrible thing.
In the midst of a frantic run to prove legitimacy and avoid death, it was interesting to see just how the trio shifted and grew into one another. Every time one of them held their tongue for the others, it felt like they pulled a little closer to one another. An unintentional dragging down of walls on the characters part.
Part of me was anticipating Meg having to leave, to make a wild comeback in the third act of this part of the series. I'm pleasantly surprised that they're jumping in with both feet. While the relationship isn't perfect, it is another good look into what poly relationships can be like. Work. Difficult. Sometimes two people are freer with one another than another partner. It's good to see these things shown, without it destroying the relationship entirely. That they learned from the mistakes is even better
