This whole immaculate road trip amped us up for some big movie scene ending when in reality it just wasn't. Margo was amped up in Q's mind to be this untouchable more-than-human species, but she just wasn't. It was John Green finally putting us in Q's shoes when we couldn't do it throughout the entire book. Therefore, this quote about "what a treacherous thing to believe a person is more than a person" (i think is how it went) was not only for Q, but it was for the readers. What a treacherous thing to believe Margo had some big golden egg at the end of the hunt. She is just a teenager trying to find herself. That's it.(less)
