Misty and Natalie

No one seems to like Misty that much. Still, there are times in both the teen and adult timelines when the rest of the group can not deny that she is needed and useful. Misty is desperate for companionship, wanting so much to be a part of the group.

In 1996, Misty is incredibly useful as the only one there with medical knowledge, even if she is a little too quick to chop off Ben's leg, or a little too happy about the prospect of trapping everyone in the woods if it means she can be considered useful.

However, the adult counterparts of Misty and Natalie are very interesting to watch, especially as, for most of the teen timeline, adult Misty's dedication to Natalie does not appear to make it easy to connect the dots. Except, that changes in season two's "The Chosen," when Misty chooses to save Natalie over a drowning Javi, and then again in "Storytelling," when Lottie crowns Natalie as the group's new leader.

Even though Natalie herself does not seem to view Misty as her closest friend, Misty does. Misty bows dramatically to Natalie in the woods, and as an adult, is the one to accidentally kill her.

While it is not clear yet exactly when season three will jump back into the story of either timeline, season three may show the beginnings of teenage Misty's devotion to Natalie as their leader, while adult Misty may be feeling the repercussions of Natalie's death, and how that impacts her moving forward.
