Level 3 · 1 week agoJake befriending Chris Watts in prison is sending me. Two of the most calculated killers just casually cell neighbors. That detail was buried in the episode but it says everything.

Level 5 · 1 week agoJake Patterson was indeed discharged from the Marines after one month. The official reason given was that his character was incongruent with Marine Corps standards, which checks out in court documents.
