What spotlight moments, according to your definition, were there? There were no moments like that in the season 1 finale. In the season 2 finale, I would characterize the Joy and Fabian conversation at the party as one. It wasn't really about their friendship/love triangle/romance plot because that was already resolved in the tunnels--it was resolved after Joy and Fabian had their fight and made up and said they were just friends. This was just Joy and Fabian talking as friends, dancing as friends, showing that Joy does have a nice side and she truly didn't have any intentions to get in the way of Fabina anymore. But the finale is the ENDING to all the struggle! They were struggling throughout the season, and it's resolved in the finale! And where else in the episode could these moments have been? We're not just gonna suddenly have Eddie and Mr. Sweet talk in the middle of Rufus putting on the mask. I liked that in the end, they were all together at the party, everyone getting a turn in the spotlight.

Ok, Amber WAS proactive. Maybe not as proactive as Alfie, though. (Do you think Nina did anything useful, or was it all Fabian?) (Nina doesn't deserve to be the Chosen One.) (Alfie should be the Chosen One.) (Can you imagine Alfie as Chosen One?) (Ok I'll stop now.) (My mind tends to wander.) Actually, Alfie is the reason we have the dollhouse. Amber too, but Alfie saved it for her. Anyway. Back to Patricia. She wasn't the most active member of Sibuna--you could argue that she was least active--but she wasn't "filler." She was a member of Sibuna just like everyone else. Just because she didn't know about Egyptian mythology or get the gang back together again like Amber doesn't mean she didn't do anything. She was there with them the whole time, getting cursed, getting blinded, falling into the hole in senet...While I do wish that her toughness was more utilized, I don't think she was space filler. And she was the same way in season 1 near the end of the season when she was in Sibuna. She wasn't the most proactive then either.

Patricia's arc COULD HAVE been about her dealing with a relationship, which is way outside her comfort zone, but season 3 ruined that. She DID struggle with it. She felt weak, didn't know how to tell Eddie she liked him, etc. But since all of a sudden in season 3 she was completely different, that arc wasn't elaborated on more. Yes, Peddie has a lot of problems. The plotlines and drama were forced, I know. But they still showed Patricia struggling with the relationship emotionally. At the end of the season, they were happy, but that didn't mean all their problems were fixed. If only in season 3, they could have shown it more...Ew, season 3. Ew.
