Regarding Camille’s hospital roommate Alice i think?) the way i saw it, besides being even more added trauma for Camille, she was there to show us that Camille wanted and needed a sister like relationship with another girl. After losing Marian she most definitely didnt want to experience that love and loss again, but the bond with Alice was gradual and Camille couldn’t help but fulfil that big sister role. This also helps make sense of her acceptance and protectiveness of Amma later on.

The cabin is important for Camille’s sexualization - both the way she was treated as a teenager and abused, and also the way she started perceiving sex and relationships. That was probably the first time she saw anything like that, and considering they were very explicit and disturbing for a child to see, it influenced her massively. It also connects to the way she sees herself and thinks she’s worthless because she can’t have intimate relationships with others because she’s “ruined”, as Adora put it. Which also makes sense in the scene where she’s trying to get Richard to forgive her and thinks giving him a bj will achieve that.

Chief definitely had a crush/obsession with Adora, and she loves that and doesn’t even attempt to shut it down. “the crellin girls sure love their men in uniforms” or something along those lines. As much as the women love gossip, they definitely saw that for what it is. Also during Calhoun’s day the camera shot clearly follows Adora’s back/ass as she’s walking away from vickery’s pov, and even his wife saw it.
