In “Fatigue”, Jon states that he “[doesn’t] really drink coffee”. However, when Melanie attempts to poison Elias, she mentions that “Jon likes his [coffee] black”. So, either Jon doesn’t drink coffee often, and he takes it black on the rare occasions that he does, or (and this is kind of sad to think about) he started drinking coffee sometime between those two episodes.
Also, why does Melanie assume that Jon and Elias drink their coffee the same way? Is she stereotyping Beholding avatars? I need answers.
To add my possible explainations to this…
When Jon was hiding at Georgie’s place he met at least once with Melanie somewhere in public. It might have been café and Jon just ordered first thing he saw on menu which was black coffee.
Or Melanie doesn’t know nor care what Jon drinks and she was just talking to fill silence because she was nervous.
Or Johnny once again forgot some little detail from some of the previous episodes… (which is very understandable since it’s really nothing plot relevant.)
