I know. It's going to get worse before it gets better. But it will get better. If nothing else, think logistically. It's a television show on MTV, and not one like Game of Thrones. This is just a season arc. There will be a climax and falling action. I know they've said there's a death this season, but there have been "deaths" on the show before that haven't been permanent. So realism is important, but it's not hopeless.
