I completely agree with you here. To everyone who says it was a cheap death poorly executed (lol didn't intend on a pun but here we are) I would like to point out a few things: One of Jessica's rules is to do what she says without question, not to challenge her. They needed to see the results of their actions. In the exchange Jessica tells Samantha to back off and sit down. She doesn't. Two birds one stone, or in this case one bullet. She proves to the rest she is absolutely willing to get those who will challenge her authority out of the way. Honestly, this was beautifully done. It wasn't over the top, there was a lead up to it and you saw the cause and effect happen. To those who are giving up on the show, you have obviously never read Gillian Flynn's work before this. Most of her protagonists are deeply flawed and unlikeable. The tend to be products of their enviroment to a very realistic end. She really gives thought to, if a bunch of bullshit happened over and over again to a person, how would they realistically cope? As someone who has been homeless and food insecure this speaks to me on a jarring level. When you are in survival mode empathy can sometimes be a luxury that you can not afford.
