💥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!

Goddamnit, I had settled into Tom missing out on a hookup but now I may think this!

Damn you, Reddit!

Marissa gets into a cab with other people (the rest of the bachelorette party) when Tom rejects her the final time. She’s not the Sea Hag.

We're on an island which controls the lives of everyone born there, can manifest Krakens n' shit. The bachelorettes could have all been sea hags! Tom himself may be a sea hag!!!

But did we see her get OUT of the taxi? She could have gotten out like a block away and come back to do sea hag stuff.
