See, issue is, Jeroy didn't need to exist ANYWAYS. They just needed drama and screwed over Jara and Mara's character to do it. Had they done more to develop her at this time, showed her more sympathetically, and let her get involved in the mystery before TOR (which I loathe anyways for different reasons but that's a different topic). I don't hate Mara.I hate what the writers did to her, and what she became, and the fact that she was barely ever a character.
