Julie

Was anyone else bothered by how Julie started acting when she took Victor in? Like, when you find a lost kid, you take them to the police station, not keep them. I know she had a connection with him, be even then, there are much better, legal ways of going about the situation. She could've taken him to the police, filed a report, and offered to be a foster parent or something. While that's already weird, she didn't even seem concerned about that fact that he literally never sleeps, and drew pictures of the dead neighbor's body being eaten by a cat. Julie is a doctor, so I feel like those two things should've been extremely worrying. I'm also wondering what she did with him when she went to work? He didn't go to school, and she wasn't going to explain who he was to anyone, so did she just leave him home alone in her apartment?

I've noticed a lot of flaws in the show, but this has got to be the one the bothers me the most. I don't see why Nikki, or anyone, would think that Julie was capable of taking care of Victor.

I agree. I didn't get why she dialed 911 then didn't go through with the actual call. Whether or not she felt bad for the kid she still should've called. I even thought she would've told her neighbor she didn't know the kid. She had so many opportunities to call the police & report it all.

I am thinking she is one of the Returned so she knows deep down he has been Returned from the dead. I'm only on episode 3 though. So it's just a wild guess.
