Mira, Kiki's sister, sends Colie to buy food for their dinner. I love that Mira wears bright clothes and enjoys wrestling but it’s hard to see her as something other than a stereotype of a housebound or an obese woman. At the moment she is a little cliched, almost afraid to leave the house. I am hoping there is some more scope there because her lack of movement is a little frustrating. I cannot believe she is sending her niece off on a bike, in the dark, to a place she’s never been before. Colie may be nearing adulthood but where’s the supervision? At least let her get acquainted with the place. Morgan, the tall, skinny waitress decides to quit after another lousy tip. Norman is the fry cook at Last Chance and wears blue sunglasses on his head. Apparently Morgan quitting is a thing that happens quite a lot.
