Almost any TV show, at some point you realize the whole problem is person A not talking to person B and solving the mystery/interpersonal conflict, and that's where TV shows come from. But man, if this whole show just sat down it would be so easy:

"I saw/fucked/became a bizarre creature, that's why I was acting so weird before."
"OMG me too! That's totally why I was acting weird!"

"It was all for nothing. How funny! Once again, communication has saved the day."

—Jacob, on True Blood

"I'm just surprised that someone who talked so much would communicate so little during an encounter!"

—Weiss to Ruby, RWBY (The Emerald Forest)
