Ben Lindbergh

it's a pretty pretty thankless uh part ultimately because uh you know she meets up with with dylan slash link i'll use his video game name they have uh one one little one night stand and then she doesn't go with him on the road and then she is left to fend for herself at least until xavier crash lands in her backyard basically but

She's pregnant and she has some medical training, but not enough.

And she suffers the fate of many an unfortunate mother in the post-apocalypse, which is that she bleeds out and she gives birth.

It's very much Ellie's mom sort of situation in The Last of Us, minus the zombies.

And so it's a great portrayal.

It's a character you really care about.

And then ultimately...

You know, the baby becomes the charge, the sacred charge of X. So he basically adopts a kid that he has met along the road and Terry does too.

And I was apprehensive.

We never got to see the conversation where X is like, I got a baby now.

But I was wondering how that was going to go.

You know, definitely some explanation there.

This is clearly a white baby, Terry.

Don't worry about what's happening here.

But, you know, she's picked up a kid along the way, too.

So they're even.

Anyway, she gives her life.

And then this baby basically gets passed via X to Dylan.

And at the end, he's a devoted dad, I guess.

But what do we make of Annie's part in this season?
