Yeah, I had the same question until I got to the episode where she said she was a patient. It still seems to me like they changed direction with her being in the Upworld and it seemed pretty out of place to have her randomly famous and turning up at the clinic again. How long has she even been awake? It can't be long.
What's really bothering me right now (I'm still watching season two) is how completely random Medea's about-face is. She was the most evil, antagonistic character for the whole run of the show and then suddenly I'm supposed to care about her and feel bad for her. Her changing sides happens literally in one scene and for no reason. Equally suddenly Macro goes from being sort of a harmless bad guy who is less out to get our hero than he is just desperate to be the coolest kid to being hard core nasty. Well, supposedly. So we have the bizarre scene in the ep I'm watching right now of Medea telling Macro he's disgusting and being all morally righteous.
Just... what? No. She was the force and brains behind him the whole time he was running things, he just likes to see himself on television. Don't buy the role reversal at all.
On the whole, season one seemed like the writers knew all the answers and knew exactly where the story was going, but season two seems like they're making it up as they go along and actively contradicting themselves. This is still a pretty incredible show, very creative, but I'm very disappointed with how it ended up unfolding.
