Towards everyone considering the Lana segment as "wasted":
To me it kinda looks like Lana got into the crossfire between Buddy and Rex or am i wrong?
I suspect Buddy killed Rex (after rex threatened him with a knife) with the fentayl coke and as Jonathan only asked for a "rookie package", rex just gave him a bit from the stuff which he used himself at this moment/evening which lead to buddy kinda acidentally killing lana too (not that he gives a shit).
The whole drug storyline is kinda strange tho imo, which dealer would ever care which prices sub-dealers take from the customers ... ? He can just raise his prices if he thinks he can get more for it ..... its kinda nonsensical.
And just because Quinn and Vinny sell the dope more expensive, Buddy decides to disfigure both Riona and Vinny instead of just selling the drugs more expensive to them lol. Torturing a college student like that is so over the top for basically no reason and a lot of risk of being exposed.
If buddy acted this unhinged and reckless the whole time since rex died in a area like that, he would simply be long gone already.
The way Vinny and Buddy act/behave is just too much over the top evil clown imo, it doesnt fit the surroundings, they would have been dead/in jail for a long time already if they acted like that the whole time. And whats up with Vinny trying to force Lily to buy stuff from him and lily caving lol? It doesnt work like that, not even mexican cartells force people to become their cumstomers
And Quinn's "masterplan" is simply to rat them out and hope her recording is enough to keep them all in jail? Even if it would work with buddy ... what about vinny and mick and who knows who else? And isnt this putting a HYPER BIG RED CROSS on riona, riona's mom and quinn herself for retaliation? What is she thinking?
Poor riona, trapped between entirely uninged maniacs
