      Someone should have reached in and kidnapped NC with a blindfold at the end of the this episode. Then they could have started the next one with critic being "forced" to review the next movie.

    Ironically, playing along is likely the best thing to do in this situation, so getting all "lovey dovey" would probably decrease the likelihood of a psychotic person lashing out and harming the hostage.

      Well...Stockholm is psychological and causes the captive to become completely submissive to the captor. They fall into denial, which makes them more forgiving to abuse or manipulation, even willing to blame themselves for the sake of their own survival. The psychological damage can can shred self-esteem and cause a cycle of returning to their abusive relationships.
      Lima Syndrome, in a sense, is better. It doesn't generally apply to the captor falling in love with the captive but rather the captor gaining sympathy and compassion for the captive, so they're more likely not to hurt them. They will talk with them, feed them, and treat any illnesses or injuries. In some cases, the captive may form a friendship with the captive, feel guilt and even consider their freedom. So it's basically human empathy over anything.

To make it so subtle that the hints would go right under the audience's nose's and at the end, would really scare them into thinking that these modern, cutesy, unrealistic, low-key abusive rom coms shouldn't just be looked at so lightly. Because in the end in real life, your adorable little romantic story is going to turn out like a horror story if you don't take healthy relationships seriously.
