Eh, they could have found a moment to mention it in passing, I guess. I understand that they might not have been able to fit it in, but I guess I just wish it wasn't so out of nowhere.

They were minor moments because nobody was a superhero back then. All moments everyone did in season 2 were minor and in the background compared to Eddie being the Osirian, right? And yeah, they were helping Sibuna, but being helpful and good isn't really traits that need to be highlighted. They could have had Patricia interacting with Rufus a tiny bit, for example. Yeah, they helped, but it fit in with the tone of the season depressingly well- nobody matters except Nina and Fabian, and everyone else is just a piece of a larger group rather than an individual person with their own motivations and desires. Like, staying alive and defeating Rufus and saving their friends and proving themselves. Taking any sort of personal reasoning or personality out of what certain characters did just turns them into tools for the plot to move forward.

Patricia DID have things to care about, though. Like how about the fact that they were all cursed and needed to get the mask? Or how about Rufus coming back? Or Joy being a bitch? Or she could have had stuff to do for the Jackal. Etc. Literally the only thing she seemed to care about was the least important thing, Eddie. IK romance is important and she's just a teenager with horomones and it's her first relationship but all the mystery stuff seemed marginally more important. She could have easily been focused and badass and active the entire time but they didn't let her. She didn't even do anything solo, while everyone else got at least one solo spotlight moment! I guess there was walking across the chasm, but, that's it. She almost did the ox bell thing but that never happened. She was twisted because while she could have easily been focused and determined on all the important things going on around her, they didn't let her because romance was more important. They could have had Peddie happen while she was playing an active role in Sibuna. Mick, you have a point, but they sort of twisted him because the intention was to make him look like a jerk who was in the wrong. Whether or not they succeeded isn't the point, they TRIED to twist him. Nina was definitely twisted, she was nowhere near as bitchy and selfish in the first season (calling her selfish because even though she was very worried about all her friends and stuff, well, she was also pretty needy and whiny and useless as a heroine and needed help too much...which makes her look selfish).
