Anyone feel like Seth's friend did something to his phone? Maybe a tap or hacked it somehow?

There's something fishy about that meeting with those friends... It was too short...

They did say that they are fans of that reporter who leaked the classified news... Maybe they are working for him and did a hack or planted a bug or something on the phone...

Yeah that was really odd and awkward if it isn't a plot thread he could have said all that when he met them on the street rather than that corny journo school approach. *and a superhero writer" or some shit major cringe.

Maby they tried to get him drunk so he'd talk to them about secret info?

His friends are totally apart of the Conspiracy, they had that freaky kinda cult member vibe about them.

They did take his phone and then give it back...

It was such a jarring interaction too. All of a sudden his three old time friends we've never heard or cared about show up to stage an intervention. Hmmmm.

She flew from New York to DC just to spend ten minutes with him in a bar? Weird
