Curate, connect, and discover
ive been trying to distract myself from what happened to van at this episode so heres my theory about what's happening next in the teen timeline:
we're finally heading to the point we knew was coming - the explanations of misty and natalies relationship, their partnership, why is misty so devoted to natalie and why natalie just lets her.
since we saw that she's currently the only one who knows misty has (and possibly broke) the transmitter while being one of the few people in the group that actually really wants to go back, i think natalies gonna be divided between the anger and the betrayal about what misty did but also hope about the fact that she may be able to fix it and they can finally go home after she almost lost all of her hopes when the bear guy died. also, i think nat must know that if she tells anyone about it they may kill misty AND not even try to fix the transmitter.
that said, i believe we're finally going to see more of their dynamic in ep10 + first episodes of season 4, where, together, both secretly try to fix what hannah broke and manage to call someone while the rest of the group is fighting and hunting - that's when the rescue actually comes. also, i do think maybe van and travis may find out about it (?) 😀
if nat and misty are able to actually get the rescue it would explain why tai feels so responsible for her and is always paying stuff for her.
this whole thing would also explain why misty is so loyal to nat and why she does have a soft spot for misty cause what if she kept that secret for 25 years ? anyways... #sendingtotheuniverse
