Can we spare a moment to talk about how horrible the past two years have been for Esther?
Let’s summarise:
October 2016: Curtis breaks up with her after being sent to prison for a drug offence.
February 2017: Esther is diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy after experiencing arrhythmias
August 2017: Esther is kidnapped by Jason (Finn’s stalker), and she experiences arrhythmias as a result, causing her to pass out.
December 2017: Esther is again kidnapped (this time by a prisoner who escaped) and she almost dies as her heart stops from the stress.
June 2018: Esther is brutally beaten up by her husband, Finn Warner. Her marriage dissolves afterwards.
September 2018: Kawe, her boyfriend, starts selling drugs while bartending at the I.V. Esther finds out about this and breaks up with him.
Also September 2018: Esther finds out that her heart is failing after yet again being threatened with a knife by two drug people who she was trying to help.
She’s so desensitised that she doesn’t even care anymore about Kawe’s drug dealing, because “at least he doesn’t hit me, right?”
“I just have to keep looking at the good stuff, ignore the alarm bells, put them on mute.”
