You betcha, and I've chosen to just ignore it; but I can understand if you can't. However, it does make sense if Jonas is Order, and this was a plan..
I understand sometimes you set things up so that later they are available to go back to, like when Jonas used the cell to call ahead to the cabin. If you don't go back it becomes a red herring but I also think you can go to that well too many times.

I think there is potential here (ignoring, of course, the obvious recent plot holes; let's hope those will come to a halt sometime soon).
I think I'm just feeling overwhelmed with the arrival of so many new characters. I hope they don't all make vids. It would be nice if one of two of them caught on.

No, not at all. I think you do have to stay true to the heart of the character. In Training Hard, Bree said "So, I brought along an old friend. I haven't really had much time to hang out with him lately, so, yeah. And to be honest, I think I'm a little old to be playing with stuffed toys. Sad but true." I would have preferred she said, "So, I brought along an old friend. No not to talk- when I look at him it I remember how things used to be. It takes me to a safe place in my mind and reminds me that the Order has taken all that away from me." You do that and no longer is PMonkey and imaginary friend or toy, it becomes a symbol. Same thing with Proving Science Wrong. Bree is supposed to have a scientific mind she could use those skills to help herself. It obviously wouldn't be as lighthearted, on the contrary more serious and probably more of Proving Science Right. In a way keeping things like these that many feel are at the heart of the character but sort of growing them with her not only acknowledges their significance but in a way pays homage to them instead of just tossing them away or leaving them behind. Again IMO it's providing the B between the A and C of her character development.

I think that Jonas has an ulterior motive, but I'm not sure what it is. One minute I think he's Orderite to the bone, and the next I think he's just trying to get info about his parents. I wish they would let us know what Jonas's motivations are, because, frankly, the ambiguousness is getting boring.
Are you going to stick around, or have you had it?
I so hope you stick around.
I just read where some are speculating this is all introducing the Parallax aspect of the ARG. In one way I was relieved because it explains some of these plot holes. When the ARG elements are in the forefront, story telling seems to take a backseat. On the other hand, I feel-here we go again. This show is supposed to offer interactivity to fans other than the ones playing the ARG.
I have a lot personally invested in Dr. Immant. I feel like his story deserves to be told and I think I can bring some interesting things to the table. I also am involved and support other fans who make vids so I'll be around. I appreciate the sentiment-At the end of the day we all want the same things. Sometimes I get frustrated and just need to blow off steam.
Thanks to you, too.
