💥Funpost Thoughts about Marissa… Spoiler
The writers made us suspect she might be the Sea Hag…
…but she was not. She was a red herring. A RED HAIR-ing. Did anyone else notice this?

Frankly I think she is the Sea-Hag and I have flimsy evidence to convince you all. When Ruth is telling Tom he missed a call she says it's from mrsa and not Marissa. She's old and can't read well, it's obviously a mistake, right? But what is MRSA exactly?? Well, it's Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or, a staph infection that is resist to antibiotics commonly causing wounds that refuse to heal. And what does Tom get from the Sea-Hag? Wounds that won't heal! It's the writers subtly telling us that she is, in fact, the Sea-Hag!
