Season 2, Episode 5
5/10
A missed opportunity for the plot
6 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Did anyone else suspect that Crystal was just an imaginary friend for Misty? We didn't see her in Season 1 that I remember. She forms an oddly close bond with Misty just now, whike they clearly have so much in common. Both are disliked by the others, and with nothing else to do and both craving companionship, they never became close until now? Plus when it's time to pick a card for chores, only Crystal chooses. And would the coaches have just gone along with pretending they didn't know her real name, when obviously there would have been parental permission forms and a sports physical with her name on it? When Misty returns without her, the other girls only seem concerned with finding Tai and Shauna. Everything points to Crystal being a figment of Misty's imagination. And honestly, after watching the rest of the season, that would have been more interesting and also better for Misty's character. And when the other girls refer to Crystal in a later episode as "your friend" (to Misty) as if they barely knew her... how does a team work together well enough to become state champions but somehow not even know some of the other members? And how does this group live together in the wild for months and somehow still not seem to know everyone, despite having to rely on each other for survival? This was the most implausible part of the series in my opinion.
