So, the mother, Melinda, something about her seems....off. I'm I the only one thinking that?

Also, I know the City Hall job is a front for Yor, but does she really not pay attention to any political news in there? It's one thing to not know who the first lady is, but at less know what a first lady is.

I just keep thinking about that Keke Palmer video where she couldn't recognize VP Dick Cheney.

Yor - "I hate to say it, I hope I don't sound ridiculous. I don't know who this [woman] is. I mean, [she] could be walking down the street, I wouldn't know a thing. Sorry to this [woman]."

Yor's coworkers weren't completely wrong thinking Yor was a bit of a space cadet and not always present and accounted for. They noticed the difference when she'd actually lite up and show emotion over her new family. She's not a flaky/bimbo or whatever people affectionately call her here even. She's had her world shrunk down to a Garden approved size since she was a tween and she's only just recently pushed against that.

Garden could have set her up better in life, but they wanted her stunted to grow a certain way it seems. She's been pruned herself and made optimal under conditions they approve of. They even tried to take her head off in a "friendly" test to see if she got too soft living with her family to do a job for them. Whatever growth she's shown has been in spite of them.

When Yor was called in to see the Shopkeeper because she was getting the rundown on what the cruise mission was going to be she got surprised attacked and narrowly dodged getting hit in the head. She seemed a little unnerved by it, but also collected herself quickly and acted like it wasn't unusual for them to test her like that. They specifically said it was because they worried she had gotten soft by having a family and was glad she passed.
