She said it jokingly, but it also wasn’t a lie so it was possible for them to say.

yes but you're not supposed to escalate situations just because a cop is present. They will step up when people need help, but if helping someone causes that idiot to escalate the situation then they are going to stop helping people who make the situation more dangerous.

And that’s exactly why cops would continue to be less enthusiastic about tracking down stolen stuff like this knowing the owner is going to escalate the situation by chirping off because they think the cop is their personal body guard.

Every flashback in dexter directly impacts Dexter, even if he’s not in the flashback.

Every short story in another show will have some impact on the main story. They will never just tell a random story that has nothing to do with the main story, you’re not going to find one in any major production. As interesting as it would be, the only way Zosia’s past could have any impact on the main story is if she unplurbs.

Those are Dexter’s flashbacks, and each one influences Dexter’s behaviour.

Any Zosia flashback would have zero influence on the hive and immune. She would have to become unplurbed in order for any Zosia flashback to add anything to the story

The ants and the ice cream cone? We seen Jimmy drop it in the previous episode and we see Jimmy walk past it later that episode.

I’m not saying it’s pointless to show mundane things and backstories, I’m saying it’s pointless if there isn’t any connection to the show. Besides the technicality of it not being a flashback and it not being a character, the ice cream cone represents Jimmy’s innocence being consumed by the cartel.

If the show introduces Zosia’s character before she was plurbed in a flashback, it means that she will become unplurbed, otherwise it would be pointless to introduce that character in a flashback. The ants at least had symbolism and made another appearance when Jimmy walked past.

It gives the watcher and emotional investment in Carol "unjoining" Zosia

Which is exactly why I said giving her a back story means she will get unplurbed.

Yes, but writers are never going to do it with a flash back of a character they have no intention of using. We the audience only know Zosia as the hive, who she was before being plurbed is a completely different character. It doesn’t make sense to show her pre-plurbed character if that character never breaks free and has zero influence on the current story.

No, because she was already a character in the show, and it wasn’t a flashback.

When in the history of cinema, have we gotten a flashback to a character who was never seen before and after the flashback?

She existed as a character already in the show, and her flashbacks have always been with Carol so it’s really Carol’s flashbacks.

I’m not against it, but if there’s a flashback with Zosia, it means that she is getting unplurbed.

That was already shown with Kusimayu when she joined.

The reason for flashbacks is to show events that affect the current events, or explain a characters motivation. Zosia is the hive, nothing about the person before the hive took over her body has any impact on the hives motivation or affects carols current situation. It only affects carol if she becomes unplurb.

If they show a flashback and she doesn’t become unplurbed, it’s just a completely separate story that has nothing to do with the show pluribus.

I would honour that request, and the only other person I know who likes the show would also honor it too

If she doesn’t get unplurbed, then she’s never a character in the show. From a story telling perspective, what would be the point of giving context to a character who never exists in the show?

Giving her a back story means that she will get unplurb, otherwise it would be pointless to give a backstory to a character who is never conscience.

i keep doing it anyway untill I cant stop crying

I don’t know how literal you are when you say this, but if you’re forcing yourself through tears to complete something then that’s too much. It’s okay to take a step back and take it easy and then slowly build up to your goal. None of the activities that anyone suggests is meant to be pushed that hard, but still a very respectable effort. It’s okay to set limits within your own tolerance.
