“Akilah, help her.” - Shauna and Akilah’s future

This might be a wild guess as to what could happen in the coming episodes, but I think we’re going to see Dream Lottie’s request for Akilah to help Shauna come true sooner rather than later.

Next episode seems like it will probably involve Coach Ben getting out or dying. I wrote something earlier today about the fact that I think that group cave dream means Akilah will have to help Shauna control her rage and impulsiveness in order for the group to survive. I’m now thinking this might mean Shauna is going to accidentally kill Akilah. If Nat lets Ben go (or he gets free some other way), Akilah might try to protect him based on her vision, and if this leads to her accidentally dying at Shauna’s hand, that might be something to wake Shauna up from this mean streak of hers. In her mind everything she’s done recently is justified by going after people that have wronged her in one way or another, even if her treatment is incredibly disproportionate. But to accidentally kill the girl who stepped up to help Shauna while giving birth rather than the man who left her when she needed him most would probably be a new breaking point for her.

Also, I’m sure this would lead to even more guilt for Travis, who is the one who put Akilah in Lottie’s line of sight.
