Also, If someone shows up and says they found Amber's glasses, that person needs to be watched closely, IMHO.

Has anyone considered that Amber might *not* be in her room? Consider: she seems like she might have been attacked after the protest, potentially by someone who knows she's also Amazi-Girl. Sal and Asher put effort into getting her to K-Doc, and Sal was sticking with her after that. She may have a sense of who attacked her, and that person might be keeping an eye on her dorm in case she shows back up (especially if she hasn't gone to any local hospitals afterwards). It wouldn't be too hard to stuff a bunch of pillows in her bunk and tell people who stop by that's where she is, especially if you expect that person to show up after the fact. She might even have initially been there before escaping into the ceiling or down the side of the building. (Also a possibility: she could be sleeping in *Becky's* room, which would be empty at the moment, and presumed to remain empty until she returned since neither Joyce or Dorothy would also be going to church. Becky might appreciate the opportunity to help her in a moment of need, as well, given their history). It wouldn't be hard to be lying to people about where Amber was recovering, is all, and it might be a good idea if she was attacked by someone who knows who she is and can find their way into her dorm. Does anyone else think that might be part of this? Dorothy didn't actually get a look at Amber, after all.

Oh I thought getting together with her lady crush would make her problems worse. Dot is the rope in a tug o' war game between her heart and her neurotic ass brain. The reason she treated Walky the way she did is because she kept snapping between what she wanted and her (incorrect) ideas of what was "right". Currently she's doing something that she would usually consider a Moral Bad, and I'm waiting for the full realization that she did something Not Right to crash down on her. She's acknowledged it, she was there for the Sarah tongue lashing but that was more Joe focused. It feels like she's still protected in a blanket of Joyce love and I want to see how she takes it when that bandaid gets ripped off

I’m actually really excited and happy to see Dorothy’s compulsive problem solving savior complex, now with: trauma-inspired self-loathing and survivor’s guilt, showing up in a completely unrelated to Joyce light? Because like, so much of her problems have revolved around her denial of her feelings for Joyce, and I was worried that getting together with her ladycrush would be treated somewhat as a panacea, BUT CLEARLY it is not so! Bless you, Willis.
