Put me under those conditions and give me a gun at my side? Yeah, I might easily go for that option too. I know it's not logical, but people are rarely all that logical at the best of times. It was a true moment. Solid writing.

And I would buy that if this was some mildly complex problem-solving scenario, and not an activity she would presumably have engaged in literally THOUSANDS of times at this point (searching an abandoned car).

You know how some days you can barely remember driving to work, because it's so well ingrained that you can do it without actively focusing on it? I would imagine the act of searching a car for supplies would be the equivalent after this length of time in this situation.

I know what they were going for, but the execution was poor. That is the case with 90% of this show.

While the thematic moment might have been real, the execution was trash. Par for the course.
