Never knew seeing the MC get kissed on the cheek could be so fulfilling. That conversation between he and Charlotte was probably the best moment of the update for me, maybe outside of Emma saying that she loves the MC and getting to scare the living shit out of that creep Johnto. It also was nice finally being about to help out Suzi, who seemingly gets hotter every update. But the cesspool that is Hillside still has a lot more creeps in need of a good "fixin". Starting with this smug little shit Zak, it bad enough he wants to ruin Emma and break her heart, but going after Charlotte too? I've been a very patient man throughout this whole story, but damn it man. Watching Emma potentially get her heartbroken is like watching a car crash occur before my eyes.
A few takeaways though:
1. Regarding Kaylah I feel like her story is gonna end two ways, either being the next druggie whore of Hillside or smartening up and taking Charlotte's advice. She's already full of herself, I picked up on that ever since she arrived. She could go the route where she thinks that Charlotte is somehow jealous or envious of her and goes along with Harry's advances to spite Charlotte, maybe, maybe not. She definitely has an ego, which could be her downfall.
2. I know everyone feels like a suspect and looks fishy but I don't think Detective Carter is a bad guy, I of course could wrong but I think Carter himself knows that there are moles inside of his department and him closing the blinds was just showing his level of paranoia. He knows that there dirty cops on his force, knows how personal the case of Charlotte is and doesn't want to fumble it or let anything slip away. But then there's the chance I'm completely wrong and he was in on everything the whole time, and offed David to keep him silent, which would make an already dark story even darker.
3. The revelation about Emma, Charlotte and MC was a bombshell. But knowing that Emma was killed made me worry even more about Charlotte and the girls.
4. Relationship wise Lucy doesn't do it for me and it sucks because she seems like a great person but there's really no easy way of telling a woman "I'm sorry, but your sister his my heart" is there? I can't take Kaylah serious, because... she's not looking for anything other than a fuck toy. Plus she's way too overconfident for my taste.
Overall I enjoyed the update, as I do the story but it's past time to crack some skulls, starting with that obnoxious teen actor. Then it's the lard ass movie mogul Harry and we'll save Jason for last.
