So when you think about Andy's character, you think about three things that the show uses her character to do.

Mm-hmm.

Shout out to Fogel Fogel.

Number one, the show uses her character to prove that they were highly skilled people that survived the environmental cataclysm.

Mm-hmm.

Right.

So the first thing you see with Annie's character is that she was a medical student, but for some reason she didn't have the nerve or there was too much trauma in her backstory.

I mean, we go back to Annie's childhood.

Yes.

Right.

Yeah.

But that she's brilliant.

Right.

So that establishes the framework that there are brilliant people who through guile, a little bit of luck and circumstance were able to survive.

So Annie's character just lets you know that there are many Annie's.

There are many Annies, and this is how they survived.

Number two, Annie's meeting of Dylan and the rest of the people, or Link, and the rest of the people that he's traveling with, kind of lets you see how people are surviving.
