As episode 7 kicks off, morale in the wilderness has never been lower. The girls are still starving, and Shauna (Sophie Nélisse) is – understandably – at rock bottom, traumatized in the wake of her miscarriage and eschewing all attempts to help her. Is this slightly undermined by a needle drop of Nirvana's 'Something in the Way,' which is now – at least in our eyes – eternally tied to images of Robert Pattinson's emo Batman? We couldn't possibly say.
In the present day, meanwhile, the survivors are reunited and Nat (Juliette Lewis) reveals that it's been a week since she tried to take her own life. This means that the entirety of the adult survivors' season 2 storyline has taken place over just a few days and goes some way to explain the glacial pace of the present-day timeline, which still feels at odds with the several weeks or months we've covered back in the '90s. Speaking of slow-paced storylines, Shauna (Melanie Lynskey), Taissa (Tawny Cypress), Misty (Christina Ricci), and Van (Lauren Ambrose) are encouraged to pick a therapy session at Lottie (Simone Kessell)'s wellness center, for reasons that don't seem particularly relevant to the plot.
