Abbey gets called on his shit by more people because trauma isn't an excuse. Especially at the con. Mike very clearly knows something is up and he glares daggers at Abbey, but he just sits with his thumb up his ass?
The Sandy debacle comes to a head and gets solved far sooner. Model Girlfriend should have been the absolute latest point before they break up. They clearly don't work together and everyone is aware of it, so the group needs to push Mike to realize he has a toxic dependency on someone who -does not fucking care-.
Lucy returns a more weary person, rather than this aloof '2cool4u' shit. She should play more off the fact that people from the table, Mike especially. pushed her to try and off herself. As it currently stands she basically treats the group like an inconvenience when she should on some level display hesitation and fear about getting sucked back into toxicity.
Sue needs more moments where 'trying' to be the smart, level-headed member of the group gets to her and she cracks. She's not smart like her mother and should eventually come to the realization that she doesn't have to be.
Daisy takes the lessons she learned from Augustus to heart and they stick as permanent character development. She learns to take charge, put her foot down, and get what she wants. She starts to build confidence, rather than always remaining the little sister of the group (the thing she didn't fucking want anyways).
Alejandro is either gone, or a more prominent threat. None of this basically nonexistant unless 'OoOoO BAD MEMORIES LUCY' shit.
Augustus gets more focus, he's 100x more interesting in his interactions than a lot of other characters.
Am I autistic for thinking so much about drama cat rewrites?
