Just finished episode 3.
Did not see that coming.
Now the long wait for ep 4.
Also, it's totally legit that that situation came up. MC never mentions Maya or Josie by name.
When Josie is told she can't stay with MC, due to being with a girl, she says it's ok, as she has a friend she can stay with.
Josie saying she has a BF may be because she hasn't come out publicly due to fear or what ever.
Maya is also in the same boat, but closer to being fully out.
No conspiracies or manipulating. Just a cluster fuck of errors.
