* Why didn't Ruby explain to the mother in Episode 4 "your son insulted me and my uniform, left my tips in a cup filled with spit and deliberately burnt himself on a griddle"? Maybe the mother wouldn't have believed him but it seemed like a solid middle ground between giving a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and grovelling in apology over something you didn't do.
** Given the way his mother was acting, Ruby probably figured it was obvious she wouldn't have believed her anyway. Plus, after enduring the little twerp's mistreatment for who knows how long (plus, as revealed in other episodes, a lot of other crap at the diner), she might have just hit a point where she thought "fuck it," even if she realized it probably wasn't her smoothest move soon after.

** Annie doesn't have any credit at the store and Boomer already was on their heels.
* Why didn't Beth at least try explaining to the gun man (in episode 4) that he's sick and Rio entrusted her to take him in. It sort of worked itself out anyway and we don't know if he would have listened, but it seemed worth a shot and the risk of losing your car and the money that Rio was going to pay necessitated it.

** In episode 8 of season 2 Sadie comes out as a trans boy.
* Why doesn't James Lesure's character go after Beth's husband Dean. He would sell Rio out in 10 seconds. I'm not sure what TV Trope it's called where two characters like this don't connect in a way that could solve the plot immediately, but it's a very thin part of the 2nd season
