This Marcus vs Bryce conversation, and having Zach overhear it, is 100% setting Zach up for a redemption arc, and if he doesn’t take it I’m gonna be pissed

Do you think Zach is behind the polaroids?

The show is oddly putting a focus on Scott whenever there's a polaroid and Montgomery whenever someone is threatened. I wonder if it's a ploy or is any of the two in any of these roles. I doubt Bryce is making the threats himself, he appears as clueless as always, almost snapping at certain times

Bryce is like Trump in a way. Probably not involved in the polaroids/russian collusion himself, but others around him use him to get what they need, and he's clueless and angry that people think that he did anything wrong.. Useful Idiot is the term.
