aside from the obvious point here in whitepine, another thing i noticed is just how zombie's lowkey kind an asshole in this ep
like he tries to keep all his money to himself: he doesn't pay the workers in his factory decently and his company doesn't let them unionize, he originally protests when izzy asks him to give kantje a raise- citing that others would want a raise too- and then they give kantje the bare minimum to keep his father's hospital expenses afloat, dismisses that his father's condition is horrible and even has the gall to say "i don't mind helping out here and there"
they say something sexist to their own child saying that she "needs to roll down her sleeves because it's ladylike" (which lowkey makes me wonder if part of that is why bitrotter goes by she/her pronouns in whitepine because can you imagine the shit they'd say if they were openly nonbinary-)
he doesn't gaf about what's happening within his staff- not knowing that a doctor had arrived because his maid got assaulted and "doesn't remember" when zam told him that the detective was in whitepine a while ago
and to top it all off they infantilize vi in front of everybody, saying he needs to pack his clothes and his toothpaste and telling pyro to keep an eye on him and then going "you're my kid" when vi calls them out on their bs
