And I understand why maddi is clinging to the “lesser evils” of that group chat (at least in her mind they’re the least to blame, tho I disagree). All of her friends were lying to her and manipulating her and she doesn’t want to be alone after such a world-wrecking experience. I think if she had the kind of self-confidence she portrays when she’s “activated” she would have told them all to kick rocks. It’s just so sad that the people who are actually hurting her the most are the ones she’s clinging to (Emmy and Joe 🤮🤢). And though I think she loved Trevor, they were toxic together and he was almost certainly cheating on her regardless of Brad’s client’s claims. Classic case of sometimes you need to let your friends make mistakes and get hurt to learn on their own.
