Part 9/14:
The Portrayal of Villains and Moral Ambiguity
The episode also touches upon the show's ongoing theme of moral complexity, especially in how it depicts Corey. Interestingly, the narrative attempts to frame Corey as a villain due to his past actions, such as arson and risky, destructive behaviors. Yet, the show seems to flirt with sympathy for him, capturing his capacity for manipulation, cold calculation, and vulnerability.
