it's interesting how in lizzie's therapy box hope killed everyone at the school but josie whom she took with her and turned, basically made her her partner in crime that josie follows "blindlessly" (well in lizzie's pov), telling josie she is "already gone". lizzie definitely knows hope is josie's blindspot. but she thinks it will also be josie's downfall.
now to the real world... i think it's pretty obvious at this point hope is josie's blindspot, she loses sleep researching on how to get hope back, skips dates and breakfasts with her girlfriend for hope.. as finch said, josie is "spiraling". but this episode we also saw how josie is hope's blindspot as well, humanity or no humanity.. the way she stopped when she realized it's not dark josie anymore and her demeanor faltered, she backed off and didn't hurt her & then later only put her in the therapy box, which, as mg said "hope could've dont a lot worse than trapping her in a therapy box… it’s actually the safest place for her".
all while putting alaric in his deathbed & and harming others for way less. if anyone other than josie spoke to hope the way dark josie did, they would not come out of there alive. josie was like the one person to actually challenge her mentally. hope also realized josie is the one person who would never give up on her. she also knows josie got the best shot out of the super squad at bringing her back (hope: "are you gonna bring out the A team or what?" "since josie won't come out to play.." "what took you so long?") yet couldn't find it in herself even with her humanity off, to kill the biggest threat to her humanity-less. even though what she fears of is getting her humanity back.
(also it was so funny when josie told lizzie, smiling "don't you get it? she didn't kill me!" hahaha the bar is in hell, josie is so down bad but she's right. this just proved hope is not too far gone)
TLDR; HOSIE ARE EACH OTHER'S BLINDSPOTS
