nat being the one to find out abt misty destroying the 'transponder' is exactly how it was always going to go and i LOVE its where we ended up. its why adult nat is so cold and jaded and wary around adult misty, its why she knows inherently that misty cuts her battery cable, tampering w something again to be close to her. why nat is not completely surprised at misty spying on her in her hotel room with a camera. like sorry, since nat's s1 misty hallucination its always been them, intertwined in this resentful and twisted and devoted red string of fate they keep tugging and tugging on until misty eventually strangles her

It's not related to the above point but I saw this and I remembered a thought I had. We never get to see Nat's influence as the Antler Queen in the adult timeline. Tai and Shauna are understandable, they were never the follower types, Lottie was a priestess and she was devoted to the wilderness but Misty definitely was a follower and after Nat guarded her insane secret she would have been absolutely loyal to her. What I mean is we could have gotten a scene where Nat is about to do something but Misty is against it but Nat wouldn't listen to her so Misty just kneels down at Nat's feet and begs not as a friend but as a subject. This shakes Nat to the core and she goes "I am not your leader anymore" and she is about to turn away before her resolve crumbles but Misty pushes through and says some version of "You will always be my leader".
