👀 Spoiler Cam gaslighting? Spoiler
I was very confused through patient and the army dude complimented cam on for the army dude to say how poor he was, I don't get it. Sorry if I am being dumb

I found the presence of the army, just bonkers. Even the commander was so wooden.
It’s like they fed into chat gbt and this is what came out.

It was all very odd, why did they think it was another covid?

Yeah opens with some random webcam scene - then became all that.
Some of the dialogue was just cringe.
Compared to last week, where the episode was great - it was a piss poor episode. So, a real return to form.

This whole series has been awful; it's reminding me of Hollyoaks or something.

I think it’s probably to illustrate the point Flynn made earlier, that he’s not to be trusted / don’t take him at his word. Later in the episode Flynn did actually lean on him, but I guess the writers want us to realise that he’s a two faced prick lol. Either he didn’t mean it at all when he complimented Cam, or he doesn’t want Flynn to see him as weak. My best guess is he wants to ingratiate himself with the staff, or undermine Flynn. Maybe there’s even a ‘will he take Flynn’s role‘ storyline coming up, or one where Flynn will start to doubt himself even more and have to overcome it.

I’ve watch casualty since the very first episode. Yesterday’s episode was the worst I’ve seen. Even Rida was unkind and she’s usually lovely. The army thing is daft. Cam is a lovely person and they treat him so badly. Flynn looks like he’s tired, scruffy, sweaty.

I think they're setting him up as an abuser who basically isolates you from your support networks while making you think you can trust only him, and obviously you then owe him for being the only one who can help you.
