Given a minuscule production budget, one expects certain storytelling shortcuts. E.g. Getting one's prospective room-mate as one's Uber Driver in episode one was incredibly unlikely but one willingly allows for these types of things, occasionally. Meeting one of the main character's estranged family members here was much more jarring. It just seemed like a device to fill in missing story-line details and resolve the current plot dilemma on the cheap. While it was filmed well and the actors did a great job with what they were given it still felt far too unlikely and gave rise to as many questions as it answered. E.g. How would a sister who'd not talked to Joshua know where he hid his spare key and that he was cooking for Andre, even assuming that she COULD read his e-mails.
