Several weeks ago, Jack found out that Lincoln does p (meth).
Jack ended up accidentally trying it while at Sebastian’s re-birthday, thinking it was E, and he enjoyed it a little too much. It’s a bit strange that Lincoln, who does meth semi-regularly, doesn’t seem to be addicted, yet Jack appears to be heavily dependent on it after only doing it only a couple of times.
Jack was really a wreck in today’s episode.
To which I say – what the hell is wrong with him? He saw what a drug addiction did to Charlie, so what is he thinking? Plus why are the writers doing this? We’ve already been put through this type of story with Charlie, who was not only abusing prescription amphetamine but also selling it. Lincoln does appear to be discouraging him, but of course it isn’t working.
He opted to take even more p after barely functioning at work.
I hope they don’t ruin Jack’s character with this storyline. P addiction is pretty gruesome. And they delved into this in 2012 with Hunter.
On the bright side, Jack and Lincoln kissed after Sebastian’s party.
I guess they’re together now, though it’s not entirely clear. I like the idea of them being together, but this drug storyline kind of sucks.
Lincoln’s great, though.
On to other things… Dylan and Kylie.
I don’t have any idea what is going on with this storyline. It looked like the main story was going to be Frank vs. Dylan, but then Frank was quickly written out. I guess the main focus now is on Dylan manipulating situations by faking emotions, but Kylie’s feelings for Dylan seemed to come out of nowhere. It looks like he somehow managed to use her grief over Julia’s death to manipulate her. Ugh.
Also, we really need to talk about Julia. Namely, was it really worth sacrificing her for this odious Dylan character? She was Kylie’s only family connection on the show – her only close family member with her mum gone and her dad who-knows-where/nonexistent.
They had an interesting, volatile relationship which they could have explored. Anyway, ugh.
Also, did anyone bother to tell Toby that his mother died? I know he and Julia weren’t close, but come on. It’s not like he’s in Antarctica, he’s only across the pond in Christchurch.
There wasn’t even a mention of him after she died. Mate, I get that she forced you to live on some strange commune, then ditched you to move to Sweden, but still. In fact, the only mention of him during Julia’s return was when she told Kylie how easy giving birth was for her.
Other things that irritated me: how come Miranda came to give Julia a stern warning about Dylan, but never bothered to directly state why she hates him?
Also, why did she disappear so abruptly? It does look like she’s going to return later this week, which should be glorious.
