TargetPardison Fontaine

MeaningWhat it means: Megan describes a man who cannot move on, uses cocaine imagery around her Tina Snow persona and invites anyone profiting from her name to work for her instead.

Wordplay‘Hooked’ describes both emotional fixation and drug dependence, while ‘Tina Snow’ is Megan's alter ego and supplies the cocaine image.
