What I don't understand about Marie and her cooking course? Why she waited until the week before to sort out where she'd actually be staying. I don't know about you, but I prefer to get myself accommodations as I'm booking to go somewhere, whether it's a course like Marie is taking or visiting for recreation, sightseeing, etc. Who registers and pays for a course and then worries about living arrangements the week before? Oh, wait! I know what sort of people do this - vagabonds and grifters!
Allegedly, she got a car the week before she travelled, too. We all know why she got the car - because Stephanie and Philip are no longer there and she has no wheels to get around, since she's literally all by herself. But if we take it at face value, to have your car a week before you travel to your destination, before you have a place to actually stay in your destination makes you look reckless and disorganized, in my opinion. Maybe this was a spur of the moment decision, to take the course? Who knows? They all lie with such regularity, you never know what's real and what's fake.
These people are idiots. I don't know why I expect anything different.
