The Reveal
 People Watching (Web Animation) / int_6b2b3b59
comment
The Reveal: At the end of episode 1, it looks like Candy and Jeremy are talking to each other only for it to reveal that they are talking to different people on different days. At the end of episode 3 after a successful date with Jeremy, Safra talks to him in her apartment only for his comments to become suddenly negative and dismissive. It turns out she is talking to Depression Guy. Her date with Jeremy was over a week ago and she hadn't talked to him since. At episode 6. Flossie seems busy with her phone during her break at her live concert rudely ignoring her fans. It is revealed that she isn't really doing anything but switching screens on her phone during all of her minimal interactions during her shows At Season 2 Episode 1 has the characters talking about their experience in 2017 documentary style It turns out that this is being filmed in 2067 asking the characters about their experiences 5 decades ago and that they are being digitally altered to make them look younger. We spend the entirety of Season 2 episode 2 with Jackson spending time with his brother talking about memories and what it means to be alive forever. Only to be revealed that his brother has been Dead All Along and he has been talking to himself to cope with his loss. Season 2 episode 4 has Safra talking to a Bar Patron named Mau about how hard it is to make friends, and they say that people should just invent a device that could find you a perfect friend no matter where or when that would be. Mau is from the future where both time travel & a universal friend finder existed, and Safra has a 99.97% compatibility with her. The title of the episode "37" refers to the amount of time Mau has returned at that exact moment to befriend Safra.

Continuity: Ted mentions being in a relationship with Christianne at the end of episode 5, the only girl who reacted positively when Ted mentions he likes the beach and pegging in speed dating. Candy mentions her accident in the Secret Losers Anonymous Meeting. After their shared hatred of the movie and discussion on why talking should be allowed in theaters in Episode 9, Jackson, Ted & Martha became friends. We can see Jackson being invited for a movie night in Ted's Apartment as well as Jackson cheering Ted on in one of his rants in a comedy club in episode 10. Candy mentions her date with Jeremy in a conversation with her alternate self.

Attractiveness Isolation: Candy is so attractive that clients for her job as an exotic dancer gives her a lot of free stuff and her image is used as a poster in her workplace, but she comes of as intimidating to guys especially combined with her high IQ, because of this she has no real/close friends to the point that nobody visited her in the hospital during her 4 month stay.

Hypocrite: Most guys ask Candy out for the sole reason of her looks, when she asked out Jeremy she kept bringing up the fact that he is transgender & how brave he is. It is also hinted that she did not read through his online dating profile, which make Jeremy ask her if she only asked him out because he is transgender.
