we knew eric millegan was no longer a regular after s3 due to mental health reasons, cause when zack leaves at end of s2 we googled it FEARFUL CAUSE ZACK IS LITERALLY FAV but we learned he stayed until the end of season 3

throughout the episode we both made comments on how it was like the “among us/the thing” trope and knew it was someone in the inner circle who had to take the hit for being traitor

somehow zack being the apprentice was like totally and incredibly shocking to both of us and neither of us suspected him at all. we even figured him being blown up was their way to get him off the show/off being a regular to ease his load or something lol

when they literally arrested him it was like “no it’s a mistake” until he literally confessed????? then it was like oh it’s zack we’re idiots
