I agree with you completely. But I don't think it's coincidence or DPC's inability.
I assume that one of two of my theories will be true. Either the MC has been on the B&R before or something bad happens to the MC that will cause a time irritation of 1 or 3 years.
Possibilities:
The MC goes to jail because of the Preps Mansion shit in EP5.
Something happened on the camping trip where Josy and Maya got closer. Derek hints at this in EP3.
The MC saves a life and something happens. My worst guess is that he saves Josy's life by donating bone marrow and something goes wrong with the MC during the surgery. Yes that is a provocative theory for which there is only dare evidence. One clue is the swimsuit the MC wears during the carwash action. It says "Lifeguard" in big letters. With a cover of the many books could represent a tumor. As Jade enjoys her coffee in the break room, we see a pin board with three info slips. One is a base or tennis ball. This could indicate that Jill was saved. The second piece of paper says "The Law," which could indicate the sprinkler action. But the third slip indicates donating blood and saving lives. Damn it. That's why I recently wrote that I am also controversial with my two LI's, Josy and Maya. But why just Josy? EP2. She thought for herself, that it is the first human contact for a long time, what can not be true according to EP1, because she already had human contact with the MC. Even the collaboration with Steve is human contact. The thoughts of Josy sound to me as if she has some kind of rehab behind her. Now let's add the special renders of Isabella from BaD. A farm. pretty remote and probably not many people around either. Then the Josy avatar image from DPC.
I don't want that, but I dealt with such thought or contingencies in advance. If it does not come so, everything is still great. But if it does, I am personally prepared for me.
