I wish I could figure it out because the first two episodes should have been one and it's gotten messier ever since.

I will add that to my list. I just found out about the Searching for Augusta movie as well (about the nurse who worked w Renee).

For the record, I get why they ate that cat but like come on. This episode had way too much going on already and they thought they needed this? If you compare this to the episode of Chernobyl where they had to go around shooting radioactive animals* it's a stark difference in how they used it to drive the plot.

*do not watch that show if you are tender-hearted or cannot stand gross medical stuff you will be destroyed.
