That's not the point. The point is that in character moments, the important part is...well...the character. I know that the plot is the catalyst, but characters should still come first. It's the difference between them just doing things specifically because the plot needs them to and because it matters to the character and their development. Like any character can run down the hallway to distract the bad guy; but each character should have their own motives, attitude about it, and their own style of doing so. Depending on which character you use, the results could and should be different in some situations because everyone is different. Plot moments aren't bad, of course. But in certain moments, I'm just saying that the characters should be given some level of importance and control over the outcome, the action itself, or the events surrounding said action. It's more than just a reaction. Everyone would have their own ways of reacting to different things at different times and sometimes those different reactions are key to understanding things like a character's thoughts, feelings, desires, motives, flaws, and their own personal development. Plot causes it, but shouldn't control it. Basically, think of it as real life- the things that happen to us do cause us to act certain ways and do certain things, but we aren't controlled by those things, we're controlled by ourselves and that should hold true for a character.

It's true, Patricia was in a moment where standing up for herself would be lethal. And you're right, that should have happened. Amber and Alfie, mostly, would be terrified because that's their character. Patricia would probably be more angry than scared about Senkhara's existence, you know, like she'd be the most likely person to just react with frustration and desire to stop her. Fabian and Nina would probably just react like they were the entire time; Nina because she's used to Senkhara's presence and Fabian because, well, he was growing his spine which led him to take it more seriously, like, he knows the risk but also prefers to keep Nina feeling safe than to panic. I guess it sort of makes sense because only Nina really ever sees Senkhara- the others could be afraid but they aren't the ones who will be running into her.

Jerome and John's plot technically started season 1, if only because that's when we found out about Jerome's backstory in part. So they did have more time. Eddie's and Mr. Sweet's, while for the most part worked, was also a bit...random, just a bit, I mean it was definitely foreshadowed but, you know what I mean, right? I think the problem is that Eddie and Sweet's plot was never finished. They didn't have closure, they had their final talk at the finale that opened a ton of questions and possibilities that were never followed up on.
