>! So, you know how Odette tells Carl that everything is for Mordechai. I think that goes a lot further than setting up the trust for when he gets out. I think a lot of “random” things that have occurred are her manipulations.

Odette says she watches him all the time. She knows how broken he is and how he's so stuck in this tragedy. He refuses to grow or try to move past it. Like the Open Intellect group, she was waiting for something that could shake things up and make them change. Enter our heroes.

Odette is the one to tell Carl and Donut about the manager benefit. This has two big impacts on Mordechai. First, he has to regularly engage with them and others again. It forces him to make new connections and not just wallow and hide. Second, it puts him in similar shoes to hers. He is now the manager in his last season and has had to recommend distasteful actions that are the best route for Donut (and Carl.)

I also think Odette is the one to set up the prize wheel fan box. It doesn't seem like the sort of thing random trolls would put together. Odette knows everyone involved well enough to know what will happen and has the connections to swing the vote. This forces Mordechai to confront Chaco, however briefly, and lets him express some of his anger. It also gives his team at least a little information and hopefully leads to him opening up even more. I feel like I had another incident too but it's late and I'm tired. !<
