Hello and welcome to Big Gay Energy.
I'm Caitlin. And I'm Fiora.
Come along with us while we dive into the fun and nuances of
queer media. Representation matters, and
we're here to talk about it. Cheers, queers.
What's on the big age ended today, Theora.
Today we're back to discuss Girl Rules episode 9 because we had
time and you guys keep listening to this.
Yay we're back. Woo Hoo Guess what guys?
Guess what? Guess what friend learn
something. Yay friend, learn stuff woo.
It happened. It took 9.
She did, and she learned to show up.
She did. She did also early on hydrate
for Gloria, getting it everywhere.
Gloria has kissed 3 baddies so far in the show so.
Yeah, who's the real? Who's the real winner here?
It's Gloria, that's what I'm saying.
She won girl so far. All right, So yeah, thank you
everybody that's been watching this along with us.
We're having a blast having a gay old time, loving all your
comments. And we're going to get into
episode 9. So my thoughts for episode 9 and
how we should tackle this is I think we should do Oreo feedback
style where it's like happy, sad, happy.
So C plot A plot B plot that was that sad to break up the drama.
Beautiful. I was going to ask what I was
going to ask you how you wanted to break it down because there
is a hell of a lot going on with that eight plot.
Yeah. So what we're going to do Oreo
feedback. So have you ever heard that term
before? No, I have not now.
Oreo feedback is a way to give feedback to people where you say
something nice, then you give them the critical feedback that
may not be nice, like happy, and then you give them something a
nice at the end. That way it softens.
The. Actual feedback you have to
give. Them.
I've heard that as a compliment sandwich.
Yeah, kind of same thing. But I think Oreo feedback sounds
better. Oreo Feedback OK, so let's get
into this. Actually before we get into the
the C plot, first thing I want to know is just the title of the
episode and the title card. So we have officially started
Act 3 because there are 12 episodes.
So act three starts in episode 9 will end in 10 and 12.
This is the first episode where the title is girl then the
descriptor because every episode up to this has been descriptor
then girl. So this is girls together.
So it's AI think Act 3 is a big turning point, hence the title
switches. Damn, Fiora, it's right there.
That was pretty smart. I know it's right there, but
like, I didn't pay attention to that all my in my head, it was
just like, oh, so everyone's going to be together in this
episode. So my theory that everyone's
going to break up in one episode still could stand.
It can happen. It can still happen.
Absolutely not. But like we.
Left, we have 3 episodes left, but I think that the title makes
sense and I think the the theme Mary Elle, you out there, you're
still what Mary, Mary Mary's the real hero here.
Mary went to YouTube to go watch on the episodes.
That's for you. They're all for you Mary and for
all of you guys listening and watching out there.
OK, so this episode, the theme again, if I had to write a blog
post, the theme would be this episode is about finding the
right girlfriend, not just finding a girlfriend.
I think that's the theme, hence girls together.
I think that's the theme going on here and I think it's most
explicit in the C plot, which is proud in men, but it goes
through all of them. So I first just want to go
through that and what I mean by that very quickly, not like
super in depth. So like men's dilemma, which we
kind of predicted in our last episode, was really about like,
oh, am I into is it proud who I want or am I just queer and
exploring this? And then here comes this other
person, oil. And then they have this
conversation about like, finding the right person, right?
And then by the end of it, men's like, oh, proud, yeah, I want
you. Here's why.
Like, you're the person I want. It's not just that I'm exploring
my queerness and just want women instead of men.
So it starts. It's there.
And then if you go to the A plot, this one's interesting.
I think that this is the theme for Arie more so than men and
men more so than Prim and Bambi because Arie's whole deal is
like, she got dumped by Z for Bambi.
And then if you go back to like, when she first enters girls at
the badminton court, remember she was there with her friend
and they're her friends. Like, oh, they're cute.
And then she's like, yeah, we'll see how long they're in love
for. I think that her thing is like,
OK, well, if I can get Prim to leave Bambi, I've proven they're
not right for each other and that I will destroy Bambi's
life. But by the end of their plot,
like Prim sticks with Bambi disproving what Airy thought and
showing that they're they found the right girlfriend of each
other. I don't agree with that, but
that's what the writers are saying.
I still am not on that train, but that's what the writers are
saying. And then if you hop on over to
the B plot, that was Gloria's choice, right?
It's like, do I want Emmy? I'm still Emmy.
I mean, do you want Emmy? Who says no to that?
The answer is yes, but do you want Crystal, who's like her
type quote, but she doesn't know Crystal versus Sasha, who is
she's been having this weird like fuck buddy got to know you,
I'm confused now kind of thing. And then at the at the end, she
had to choose who's right for her.
So I think that was the theme through every plot.
So that was interesting. I think that that's correct,
Matt. Great job.
Thank you. Thank you.
OK, so C plot, the thing I like
the most about the C plot is I really like oil and men's
conversation and the spa. Because for me it's like we kind
of brought this up a while ago where like Min is Min and Prow
are kind of like on the outs with everybody else.
Like they're like in the plot with the A plot B plot, but
they're like kind of on the outs with everybody because they're
different. Like their situation is
different and they're like different enough as people.
They're kind of on the outs. So like when it comes to like
being queer in their little friends circle, like men is
probably bisexual. Like I she hasn't labeled
herself, but like judging by the conversation.
So like she doesn't quite fit because she's not just like I'm
only interested in women. I've only ever been interested
in women, like, no. So like nobody can really relate
to her, like, fully when it comes to her queerness.
And then here comes Oil, who has a similar history where she's
like, oh, yeah, I, I've dated men before.
And then Min asks her, she's like, you know, what's, have you
noticed anything different? Like what?
Like, because she's, she has nobody to talk to about this.
You know what I mean? So I'm glad that they've had
that conversation where she's like, oh, this is how my
experience is dating men and women have been like, finally,
do we? Know if oil is bi?
I don't, I don't know in Thailand that they're really
into labeling the way we are into labeling.
Because it was just the way that she like, described things that
I was like, is this biphobic language again?
Because she's like, I dated men before, but I just kept denying
that I, I was into women. And then that relationship was
so bad. I was like, no, let's go to
women. Like, maybe it could be
translations, but then also at the end of it, Min's like asked
her what's the difference? And then she's like, it depends
on who I'm the person. It's not really.
Yeah, I know. So like, I feel like she was in
a relationship. I feel like it's paralleling Min
where she's like, Min was with Park and it was a horrible
relation. It's not because he was a man.
It's just 'cause I mean, misogyny, but it's like, it's
because he was a shitty person. And I feel like that's what
Boyle was trying to say also. But you could read it as that.
I didn't, but like you could. Yeah.
I mean, in the conversation, like I kind of got, it was like
both. Ends of it.
But yeah, I'm glad men had something.
She had talked to. Because nobody else can talk to
her about this, you know, No, definitely not Prim, No, not
Prim, not Prow. Proud doesn't have experience in
this like and she confides in Prow a lot.
Like they have a good relationship where they talk,
but it's like the thing I you can't relate to in the way that
proud can't relate to her family situation.
So and like, how are you going to you can't show Proud he's
like dating a man is like you can't like there's no like
exposure to that really that would get men in the
conversation. So, and also I again, it's
notable that like again, her dilemma was like, do I want
somebody who's on my equal, you know, in terms of like
similarities where oil is like, again, like I mentioned the last
episode, they're the same, probably around the same age.
They're at the same level of their career where they're
established making money. Like they can travel the world
together now because they, you know, they're successful
already. Where is like Prow is like in
college still and like just living paycheck to paycheck
because she's at the beginning of her career.
Min is in the like, not in the middle, but she's like past the
beginning and she's like getting established kind of thing.
She's more established. So then I I like that she had
somebody on her level in many ways that she could talk to
because I like min needs a friend.
She really does. She needs a friend that can like
relate to her because like I feel like Prim doesn't always
relate relate to her, you know? OK, so.
Slight change but like stay on the same thing you remember in
the last preview where they were like you can only have.
One friend, it wasn't in there. Yeah, I know.
I was like where? Was it I feel like they cut
stuff out. So I think I think that probably
what happened is like these are things they shot or it's going
to show up later where like and it was just this is an error
when they were doing the preview.
But I think that they probably cut again, They're the C plot.
They probably cut shit that they filmed.
And I assume Prow was a lot more jealous of this whole oil.
Men probably told her I'm going to go to the spa thing.
It's for business. And then Prowl's like, Oh my
God, what are you taking life lessons from Prim?
This woman is into you, like what are you doing?
And then was like getting jealous irrationally.
And then men's like I can't have friends that are queer, like
what that aren't prim, like what the hell?
And then like I think that that's it was supposed to be in
the episode, but I probably cut it because it's AC plot, but it
it would fit. It would fit with the end where
she goes to see Prowl and Prowl's like not expecting her
to show up. Or is she?
And then Men shows up and it's like, I choose you.
Like it's not a yeah. So I feel like he was supposed
to be in there and they just got it.
That would make sense. But yeah, I was also waiting.
Very interesting. It's just interesting that they
had that in the coming up and then that's the scene that they
cut. But who knows what their choices
were. Maybe there was different people
editing it too. Also that probably, I mean it
does work. It does give you intrigue, like
it fits in the story. Like why not?
They got the audio use it, it, it it it tells you what's up and
coming in their plot line, which is jealousy and the oil thing.
So like to convey what it was supposed to convey.
And then we got the scene that we didn't get.
Also the little clip of them talking.
So yeah, that's true. Yeah, it was.
It was nice to get to see the two of them together and I kind
of hope that they continue that friendship.
I do oil in her because oil is definitely someone like on the
outside as well. And I think Min needs that as
well because she's getting absorbed into this company and
like a little too focused on work.
And like, so I just, I like that she has someone, I mean, oil's
still part of the company as well because she brings them
projects, but the fact that they're able to talk about non
work stuff makes it better. Yeah, it's like she, I think if
she lives with Prim, I think they're roommates at this point
and it's like, yeah, they can talk about not work related
stuff, but they're probably going to talk about work related
stuff because they own the business together.
And so like it's going to come up versus like oils in the
entertainment industry ish realm.
But like isn't it with her constantly the way Prim is?
So it is more of an outsider perspective on things because
like she's like her and Prim are constantly together.
Like, they work together. They live together.
Like so, yeah. It makes sense that they bump
heads at some point too, because like, they're always together.
And prims a lot. Prims a lot.
She is a lot men girl, you would say a little bit there.
Anyway, I, I was really happy that Min said in the very
beginning is that she knows what she needs to do to make herself
happy, which like is the very first step because like, so she
knows what she wants, but she's worried about her mom.
So makes sense. Yes, it does make full sense.
But it means that like, she's the only person she really cares
about losing is her mom. So I think mom may come around
and make things easier for her like family wise, but I think it
will require mom being OK with being ousted from the family as
well. And it's just going to be like
those. I mean, because like, just by
being OK with it and like treating men as not weird and or
like something's wrong with her, then that's just going to make
people their family be like, oh, there's something wrong with you
too. At least, I mean, yeah, yeah.
I mean, mom obviously can't change the grandparents, the
uncle, like they suck. So yeah, Mom's going to be an
like, something's going to yeah. I don't think you're wrong.
Something will happen with the mom probably by the end.
I'm curious to see how they shape that in light of, again, a
queer person already existing in the family and kind of how she's
already treated so. Still holding out with men.
Will it be the same with everybody else?
I don't know. Men's got money.
Still want to meet the aunt? Still want Phi to show up?
Yeah, still holding out for Phi. Doesn't have to make sense, Jim.
You just put her in there. Never has to make sense.
She. Just walks across the screen.
Doesn't have to make sense, she could just be a blossom one
time. But yeah, as if anyone's going
to pay attention to anybody else.
A blossom fly shows up Gory. She kisses Goria because Gory
gets everybody. Where is my hero?
Oh my gosh, she also made. Jealousy.
I give up. I give up.
Yeah. Excuse me.
OK, Yeah. So I like to your point, her
conversation with Prow in the beginning when they're alone and
Prow is also along that train is also like more empathetic
towards where Amanda's coming from because she's like, I've
seen your family now I get why you're hesitating.
Thank you for opening up to me. I'm basically men's like, OK, so
now you know the truth. Like are you going to like run
away from me because this is too much?
And men's Prow's like, no, I'm going to like hold your hand
tighter like because like you need support.
So like it says a lot about Prow.
So where Prow has is now with men's situation, which was good
to get that cleared up. Yeah, it feels like she's fully
on board with her and like their story's going a little too well,
so curious to see if more jealousy strikes them in the
next three episodes too. I think things are going to
escalate towards men coming out based on the previews, but we'll
talk about the previews at the end.
But yeah, no, I think that the other, I think C plot, B plot
are going to stay relatively happy because the A plot the A
plot is exploding. The A plot is Act 3.
This is all the fuck shit is going to go down with the A
plot. Mostly because trauma.
Trauma with a capital T maybe you get capital all the letters.
All the letters are capital. OK and then.
All right. So then in that conversation,
Min gives Prow the candle. Which did you start singing the
song when you heard the name of the candle?
Because I did. No, I literally sang it out
loud. And they real.
And was it the Glee version? Because that's the version that
was in my head. No, it was not.
It was not the. Oh, mine's the Glee version.
Weirdly, it was not the Glee version.
Any other song it would have been the Glee version.
That's for me. So if I knew a song before Glee,
then that's the song that pops into my head.
But. Oh, no, For me, it's always the
Glee version, all right? Anyway, so she gives her Girls
on Fire the candle, and then they have this whole thing about
how, oh, this is like a sexy time candle.
OK. And then we jump to later at the
end where Min goes to confront Prow.
And I was like, I choose you. If you watch that scene when,
like, Min first enters, like Prow's at her computer editing
photos or looking at photos or whatever she's doing, granted
they're at school. This is her school.
She has the candle on her desk. And I'm like, did you, were you
trying to manifest horny men into this?
Because that's what you ended up getting because you already had
the candle, the sexy dog candle at work or at school?
I'm just, you know, she might have been manifesting it because
I mean, they end up having sex at school.
Get yourself one of those candles is what I'm saying.
I bring them everywhere. Sell those candles immediately.
OK. The way they were lingering on
that, I'm like, is this going to be something they're going to
sell? They should.
What do you think it's like? Did they say what it smells
like? They didn't give you they didn't
give exact sense, but they're just like, oh, this is like a
sexiest kind of smell. That's all they said that could
that can be whatever you want. OK, I guess leave it in the
comments. What is your ideal sexy time
candle smell like? Leave that in the comments.
It will say a lot about you or what you think about the
characters. Only your comment can tell us OK
and then other thing I love about that conversation is when
men is like explaining why she likes prowess.
This is the other thing I like because part of again, the
dilemma was should I date somebody who's an equal, my
equal kind of thing versus me and prow are so different.
We have an age gap or a different, you know, levels of
our career. We have different, very
different backgrounds, like family situations, like they
have more less in common than they do in common.
If you were to look at them on paper kind of thing like right,
so here comes Oil, who on paper is a much more like men than she
is different from men. OK also fuck Prim.
I just have to at least one fuck Prim because she does good stuff
in this episode with fuck Prim when she's talking to men and
about oil and she's like Are you sure you don't want to go for
that? It's like she has a girlfriend
Prim. What?
Yeah stop trying to push her that right.
Like girl I was like Prim 3 episodes ago was like wow man
how could you do that to Prowl? And then here she is being like,
you sure, I don't want to hit that.
And it's like. Prim.
Have some goddamn consistency. What the fuck is wrong?
Yeah, first of all. That, but like, how about talk
to her? Be like, hey, how are you
feeling? Like what's going through your
mind not. That's not.
Don't you want to be with her? Like Prim.
What? It's ridiculous.
Like, you sure you don't want to explore that?
Which I mean that she's saying it for the plot, but fuck you,
Prim. So I just fuck you, Prim.
OK, anyway, so then she decides that she likes prow Bet you
know, prow is who she wants because and she's likes the fact
that they're different. And then one of the which is
valid because if you're too similar, sometimes it's it's
boring because like, I don't know, you class people, I don't
know, people tend to clash if they're too similar sometimes.
So like it doesn't work versus like having things that are
different, like makes the relationship interesting and it
gives you things to learn about each other and like that kind of
stuff. So opposite the track is like a
thing for a reason, which I think is what they're getting at
here. But what some of my favorite
dialogues surrounding that is when min is like you're tiny and
you can protect me, which gave me some more somehow vibes when
Tan remember Tan with POC or yeah, POC was like I like that
she can protect me like he's. Like whoever.
I love that so much. But yeah, it's just putting some
respect for the tiny ones like. I like that you're tiny and
could kick anyone's ass on my behalf, so I like that I was
happy for them. Like I said, I like the C plot
because I can't super predict what the hell they're going to
do with the C plot, but I like. I hope that to your point, Min
gets to keep Oil as a friend because she needs friends that
aren't prim. We all do.
Because then she must be like I'm prim with that.
Scene. I couldn't believe her.
I was like, Prim, she has a girlfriend.
She will be poisoned by Prim's thoughts.
Seriously. Seriously, she's being LED
astray. Seriously.
But like the titular line for Prim was like, does she make
your heart race? Because then she says it to
Prowl later. She's like, you make my heart
rate the boat, you make my heart race the boast.
That means we're supposed to be together, according to Prim.
All right, Anything else about the C plot before we move on to
the A plot? All right, they they didn't get
too much in this episode, but they got progress they got.
All the sex scenes in this episode, that is true.
They got the sex scenes this episode, so their relationship's
doing great. I called it by the end the B
plot would be together and then A plot is imploding.
All right, so a plot. Where do you want to start with
the A plot? Oh my gosh.
Well, I don't even know where to start with the A plot, but I'm
going to go with we got to see the events leading up to the
accident with Z Yeah, so. We sure did.
Yeah, so basically Z is upset because Bambi was prioritizing
her ex because she promised Prim that she would spend every
birthday with her. So Bambi is trying to keep that
promise, although she broke up with her.
Now I just want to say that Z is not wrong to be.
Upset about this? Because for someone like Bambi
hasn't even been hanging out with Prim though they're
friends. At this stage, right?
I don't know. I thought they were separated.
I'm pretty sure they're friends because.
OK. They're friends at this point
because of dialogue earlier in the show where basically around
when Z dies, remember Bambi goes abroad and like cuts contact
with Prim and that's when Prim freaks the fuck out because
Bambi's not contacting her anymore.
Like they weren't they stayed friends like they stayed in each
other's lives. That's why during the
conversation Bambi's like Z. You have to understand Prim is
always going to be a part of my life.
Like they were friends so like yes Z has a point but also she
doesn't because like they're friends and you can be friends
with your ex like but to ZS point, like I guess I think in
their relationship she gets the feeling that like Bambi doesn't
fully love her because she's in love with Prim and that's what's
fueling this level of irrational jealousy in her.
This is not a new thing. I think this has been escalating
in their relationship and this is like the like blow up point
of all that, the boiling point for that.
Yeah. OK.
So that makes sense. I thought this was during that
year apart. No, it's which is why Prim
didn't know about Z so. No, Bambi hid the relationship
from Prim. Yeah, specifically.
Thank you. So Z was wrong and wasn't wrong
at the same time. Exactly.
It's complicated. Yeah, it's complicated.
Yeah. This has been building up in
their relationship because, yeah, Bambi, it was Bambi's
choice to keep the relationship closeted.
And Z is like, why is our relationship closeted?
You were out before me. Like, this doesn't make sense.
That's why I think this was building for a while.
But I do like that we got to see Bambi trying to keep her promise
to Prim 'cause it shows how dedicated she was to their
relationship no matter if it was romantic or friendship.
And it also further proves how much Prim wasn't prioritizing
her relationship because in the beginning you feel so bad for
Prim when she is saying happy effing birthday.
But then like an asshole now. Yeah it does, but then we like
we finally get the scene where she stands up Bambi on her
birthday 1st. Listen, yes, that's the insane
thing. The insane thing about the show
is that I like insane and I wow kind of way not and I hate it
way. But like this show starts off
with the birthday shit. It starts off with their first
birthday together. They make the promise you must
always celebrate your birthday with me.
Then Prim being butthurt that Bambi's not there one time and
is salty about it forever. Then we get the like your point?
We get the memory for Bambi's birthday being like, OK, well,
Prim clearly doesn't reciprocate that to Bambi, you know what I
mean? Yeah, because it was always,
it's always about. Prim it's actually never about
Bambi which so I do not blame Bambi at all for being like I
need someone who cares about me and I'm their whole world
because Bambi was not Prim's world whatsoever.
No, no, she wasn't. And like again, I've said this,
I've said this before, I under I empathize with Prim at that time
because she was about to graduate and go into the
entertainment industry, which is a challenging industry to get
your foot in. So like you, she has to take a
bunch of jobs the way Prowl right now has to take a bunch of
jobs. Like she has to work like crazy
because she's not established, you know?
So like, I get that. I get her taking a bunch of jobs
and like she had stuff ready for Bambi's birthday.
It's just like I get the sense from Bambi that this is not the
first time Prim has done this. And like even when Prim is
established, she still makes it about herself.
So like, I can't excuse like I emphasize with the where she was
at that, but like she still does it later.
And I'm like you, this is just your personality.
So now I can't empathize with you anymore.
But she starts changing finally in this episode and prioritizes
Bambi fucking finally. Yes and finally I think that's
what's going to make them closer too because Andy's finally
Andy's finally seeing her actually love her and do stuff
for her rather than Bambi always being the 1 to reach out and.
Yeah, and it's not it's not about money in the relationship
where like Bambi can buy shit and like pay for things like she
gets a food truck. Yeah, because Bambi's got
millions. It's not that kind of stuff.
It's just like Prim showing up for Bambi, supporting Bambi,
like finally taking care of the airy situation.
And then later when that escalates, she's like, I'll hire
a lawyer for you, Bambi. Like she offers to do you know
what I mean? Like doing things like that,
Like let me support you kind of stuff like Bambi, who probably
already has a lawyer. But like still, the fact that
Prim said that is like a very a big deviance from it always may
be being about Prim and her dismissing shit like she was
like in that moment with Bammy and me.
Like I will support you here. Here's how like in a tangible
way, which is what I've been waiting for Prim forever.
So like I'm glad we finally got there.
It took of course, with somebody like Prim, it has to take like
the absolute worst case scenario for her.
It's like when she's one of those people were like, if it's
theoretical, it won't matter to her, but it like has to act like
she has to be experiencing the worst thing ever to change.
She's one of those people. Yeah.
That is very true.
Like people in America who now regret their vote for president
and it's like we said, this was all going to happen and then it
was just theoretical and now it's happening and suddenly
you're upset. And it's like like that anyway.
Anyway, so continue the the background of the Z and Bambi
stuff. Well, I get more into them in a
little bit, but so wherever. You want to.
Go I the next thing I had was just like going in order of
their arc this episode. It's just the scene with the
five things they want to do before they die.
And Bambi is the one to bring this up.
And like, I wonder if ZS death made her think more about how
like life is fragile and like never guaranteed.
And that's coming up now because of like what happened with Arie.
Maybe I don't like that they keep talking about death.
They keep talking about death, these two.
I don't like that it's making me nervous for Bambi self harm.
Including. I know I don't like to keep.
Doing this this at the end but like there's been multiple times
even in the previews with. I'm worried about that.
Yep, exactly. I'm like they started and they
started here. I'm like they are starting to
talk about death in relation to Bambi and I don't like that.
But yeah, yeah, it very much could, it could be to your point
that this the Z thing is bringing up.
Yeah, I'm worried that Bambi doesn't have anything on her
list or at least won't say it and all.
Yeah, all she says is she wants Prim, which makes me worried
that she is putting all she is into this relationship with
Prim. Yes.
Which is why her life was in ruins when she broke up with her
before. Like she is associating her
happiness with Prim's happiness. And if their relationship is
rocky, then so is Bambi's feelings on.
Life correct. Yeah, I've been saying that,
yeah. And I still think that Bambi
needs to work on herself without being in a relationship with
Prim because that is overshadowing.
All. The progress she can make.
Yeah, I agree. That's why I want them to be
friends at the end. Not that I don't think they
could make it work someday. I just think Bambi needs time to
be Bambi and like, figure out who the fuck is Bambi and what
does Bambi want? Because everything's been about
Prim since she met Prim. And I agree with you.
I thought that's really unhealthy where you're just
like, all I want is you. But to be fair in that
conversation, Bambi's like, what?
What could I possibly want? I'm like I have money because
like a lot of Prims bucket list is like money related, right?
It's like own my own start my own company, buy my family a
house. Like a lot of it is money
related. She's like I have.
Money so I don't like I she's she's the kind of girl that can
literally buy anything in the world.
And so she's like, I don't need stuff.
I don't even need to work. So like I just want love.
That's what she's saying. I just want to be loved.
So I just want you Prim. But I will say one thing her
bucket list has changed because if you go back into episode I
think 4 when they're in the record store, like the first
time they're in the record store, they're not back together
yet and they're having this conversation about like their
dreams and Bambi says I want to be on the list of like like top
like I don't forget most successful under 30 in all of
Asia. That's what she says.
And then here she's like, I just want you Prim.
So that was the red flag to me. I'm like, you had a goal a
couple of episodes ago. Now the goal is gone because
Fiona is not that successful yet.
It could because that's what Min says.
Min's like this could be successful if she does it right
kind of thing. So we're not there yet.
She's not on that list. So her goals just became it
narrowed to Prim. So that made me worried about
her headspace like that. It's gotten worse by that
answer. Oh yeah.
Yeah. Previews don't help with that
either. Anyway, we're not.
Talking about the previews, but yeah, no, I I think that Bambi,
that's an unhealthy thing in a relationship where like her
focus is just pram. That's not, that's not healthy.
That's not healthy. It's not healthy.
It's romantic in a romantic story because often times in
romantic stories, the personality trait of the partner
is loving the other person. But this is the story is not a
romance. It's not, it's not a romance.
That's not that's a red flag. In real life, somebody is saying
that shit. So yeah, I also noted that I was
like Bambi's. Bambi's mentally not doing great
is what I got from this. Yeah, oh, Bambi, we we need to
get you help. Anyway, at the end of this
scene, Airy calls and something that I'm going really happy
about is that Prim shows Bambi the phone right away.
Instead of like trying to conceal it, be like, oh, it's
just. Work.
Yeah, it's fine. It's just work, yeah.
I know, but she's like, she's actually being open with the
fact that oh, this is happening. This makes Bambi uncomfortable,
but it's also making me uncomfortable and she's
verbalizing that now. And I but I love my most
favorite part about this is like Bambi says, she's probably just
trying to making this up to get to you.
I've done this before. I love that part.
I've done this before. Yeah, Bambi is such a red flag
also. But like and I love her way.
She owns it. She knows.
When she's a red flag though. She's honest about her red flag
behavior. I love Bambi for that.
She's like, I've been there, Bram.
Bram doesn't react to that. I was like, what the fuck?
That was hilarious. Yeah, I love Bambi.
Yeah, Oh my gosh. All right, that was funny.
Do you want to go into there's a choice here?
So we either go into them going to the car accident thing or we
can go into Prim finally acting on how uncomfortable, airy like.
That's part of telling area. That's part of them at the well,
you go to the car, just do the. That sets up the.
That sets up the so I am actually doing something scene
that I was waiting for. Yeah, All right, so sorry.
My notes are a little all over the place.
So Arie Turner's Bambi and me a lot in this episode and the
first time is at the car accident and anyway.
Air quotes the car accident. Yeah, but the the first car.
Accident where also like there is a tow truck there.
Did she just know somebody with a tow truck and like completely
staged this whole thing? I feel like she would.
Yeah, Irene's very weird in this scene because she's like, Oh
yeah, the the steering wheel hit my chest and then pulls Prim's
hand on her heart. Yes, this was that's weird.
Yeah, this is all ploy to flirt with Prim.
And I'm pretty sure Arie was super confident that Bambi was
going to come to this. I think that's part Yeah, this
is all staged because I think she knew Bambi was going to
come, hence the car. Had she wouldn't put stage a car
accident, she wasn't confident Bambi was going to show up.
Yeah, it's like. This wouldn't matter to Prim if
she was like, somebody could have died and Prim would be
like, OK, but like, did you call the insurance company?
Like, you know what I mean? To be like, sure, but you were
alone. Why are you telling me this?
Like it wouldn't have the same effect.
Yeah and like later in the episode we find out that Arie
was ZS ex-girlfriend and she was basically just using Prim to get
to Bambi and hurt her. But like, the sad thing is that
although she was using Prim, I think Prim was still the closest
person she has to call in an quote accident.
Very. Possibly.
Meaning Arie really doesn't have anyone.
We don't see her talk about anyone.
We don't see her talk to anyone except that person at the tennis
right. That's what I was like.
I don't we still don't know what their actual relationship is.
If they're actually friends, they're just like they met there
and they hang out and just play badminton.
It could be like AI have a friend like that where you just
kind of like do activities together.
Doesn't really go beyond that. We don't know.
And it explained it's I think the goal the the key thing here
is that Aries been on a revenge mission against Bambi for like a
year and Bambi disappeared and now suddenly is back kind of
thing. And so Aries can do her revenge
mission now. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Anyway, so back at this fake car accident, Arie finally starts
playing her cards and triggers Bambi by saying that luck at
least no one else was in the car.
I someone else could have been really hurt.
And of course, that makes Bambi start panicking because now
we're at a scene with a car accident.
I don't really. There was not actually a car
accident, right? Well.
I I don't we don't I don't think so.
I think the whole thing was staged, but like Aries say, said
the word accident and that starts triggering Bambi and then
she's like, thank God, no one was there.
They could have been injured or died and she's saying trigger
words to get Bambi to get triggered and then eventually
Bambi cannot stay there anymore. She's like I got I got to walk
away from this prim which red flag prim because she hates
Aries. She's leave you alone with Arie.
Like, that's a huge red flag that she's not OK.
So yeah, Arie was like baiting her to like, be like, do you
feel good? You know, she's blames her for
Z's death. So she was purposely triggering.
Betty also know she has anxiety because she has the Xanax, which
that never came up again. So Arie still has the Xanax.
What did she do with it? Did she take them?
Did she sell them? What did she do with them?
That's a good question I feel like.
She'd sell them. I don't know.
I don't know with her, actually. She's kind of a wild card.
Maybe should both? Yeah.
Yeah, What do you think she did with the Xanax?
Leave that in the because that's an unanswered questions that we
can just use our imaginations on.
I think she took. Some and sold some.
Yeah. OK, so Xanax aside, well baby.
Doesn't have her Xanax now so she's legit panicking and does
not. She's been in the bag.
She does not have the Xanax. Yeah, she does not have it.
She's freaking out. And then this is when Prim comes
over and he's like, I understand what's going on and like, this
is result of your trauma. And she's like, what do you
mean? Yes, I knew Prim's going to do
that shit. Yeah, and like Prim's like with
your ex and all this, and she's like, you knew.
And Bambi gets so upset because she thinks that Prim got back
together with her out of pity with which like with the
timeline, definitely could seem like that 'cause like she finds
out what happened and then immediately gets back together
with her. Prim did get back together her
with her out of pity because she has a conversation with men and
literally says that she says I feel bad for Bambi.
She literally says that. That's the thing.
Like Prim did get back together with Bambi at that time because
she felt bad for Bambi. So Bambi's not wrong.
That is what Prim did and Prim's acting like that's not what
happened. Prim does care.
Again, it's complicated. Prim does care about Bambi.
She always cared about Bambi. She was mad at Bambi, but then
the fact that Bambi was deeply traumatized and she felt bad
about it. That's what pushed her to be
like, let's just forget about the past and be together now.
Like that is that was Prim's motivation.
Like baby's not wrong. Prim said it out loud.
But then Prim lies all the time. But so.
But she didn't say those words to men.
I think she also just really wanted to know what was going on
with Bambi. Well, yeah, she always wanted to
know that. But then when they get together,
Prim's like, forget the past. That's when she's like, I don't
need to hear any more about this.
Like, forget it. I just want you to be happy now.
Prim was the one who's like, let's stop talking about the
past. Prim kept saying that over and
over and over again. But initially, yeah, she because
she wanted to know why Baby left her and ghosted her for a year.
That's what she was mad about that.
Yeah, yeah. Anyway, Bambi's very triggered
right now having a panic attack. And like I talked about this in
Pluto before about how when you have a panic attack, you aren't
thinking rationally. And we see that here with Bambi
as well because she just keeps repeating all of her fears
instead of letting herself consider that Bambi, that Prim
actually loves her and does not feel sympathy for her, although
we know that does feel bad for her.
Both of these can be true, but in Bambi's irrational thoughts
like they can't. Like just if she feels pity for
me, then that means she doesn't love me and she needs to feel
that love from her because that's kind of what was missing
in the relationship. Like she wasn't feeling loved by
Prim because she was never prioritizing her whatsoever.
And film did a great, not a great an amazing job.
She's still good. She.
Did an amazing job with the portrayal of these panic attacks
and they were so realistic that they triggered me.
Sorry to everyone who watches the reaction video.
Anyway. Yeah, like she did so.
So. Good with this because when
you're triggered, you can't think, like, all of your
thoughts are swirling around like a tornado in your mind.
And you could see that happening with her in the way that she was
just, like, continuing to be, like, repeating words.
Yeah. Like repeating it over and over.
And like, Prim tries to hug Bambi, to ground her and just be
there for her in there. But like during this first panic
attack that we see, But it was just like too much stimuli for
Bambi and like, it wasn't the right moment for her and she
couldn't handle it. So she just got angry.
Like because she is angry with the fact that Prim might feel
bad for her and not actually love her.
Like that makes her angry because like, all she wants is
to be loved. And so it caused her to lash out
just screaming no and pushing Prim away.
And I think especially in this episode with the multiple panic
attacks we get from Bambi, which, Oh my God, film, are you
OK? That is always my question when
she does that gut wrenching crying that she does, I'm like,
where are you mentally right now?
Because it cannot be healthy and Oh my God, it's just like
crushes your soul. That's how good she.
I know fucking. Job, she's crazy good at it.
Like the other actors have to also get affected by this
because like, they're all so emotionally raw because they're
playing their character. And then they have her do that.
Like, oh God, I know somebody's always hugging her.
Like, Oh my God, I can't with this.
It's killing. Me, I know like, just like
thinking about it like gets my heart beating because it's just
so powerful. She does so well.
And but like in these panic attacks, I think it was like
really important to show that no panic attack is the same.
And here Bambi was more opposed to physical touch.
While her later panic attack welcomed Prim to hold her right
away, Bambi eventually welcomed the touch from Prim.
Like Prim held her super tight as she was crying in the scene.
And but it wasn't the same. Tactics won't work for every
panic attack. So just like for people
watching, if you have someone that's going through a panic
attack, just know you might have to try different tactics to get
them out of it. Not just they might not be
receptive to each tactic. But like I said, Bambi
eventually welcomed the touch from Prim.
And in the scene right after this, in the car, we see Prim
ground her again by rubbing her arm.
So she finally calmed down, was able to receive that grounding
from Prim. And then in that scene, we get
to the root of the issue, which is that Bambi blames herself for
Aziz's death. And because her reasoning is
that she was only dating Z to get over Prim, and Z is dead
because of her selfishness, because she was trying to get to
Prim. And I just want to give kudos.
We've kind of argued this, but kudos to Prim for actually being
there for Bambi throughout this whole episode because.
Yeah. She never left her.
She was always right there being like we can get through this, we
can do this. And I just, I mean really that
is the bare minimum is just to show up, right?
Yeah, I mean like Prim. Prim is also learning that she's
the reason also. Yeah, that's true.
Is the other thing. And that's the thing that like
the piece that was missing and that's what Bambi didn't want
Prim to know. Like Prim is the reason actually
this all fucking happened because if it wasn't Prim's
birthday, none of this would have happened.
If Prim didn't be like, promise me this, none of this would have
happened, right? So like it's actually partially
Prim's fault in a way, like indirectly.
And so she has to process that that she's got a body adjacently
to this situation. And now like Bambi is like she
really she's like again, it's Prim is like Naku theoretical
shit it it only will click when it's happening.
So like, yeah, she knew Bambi was traumatized, but I don't
think she knew how fucking traumatized Bambi actually is
until she got the gut wrenching cry.
Bambi almost walked into traffic and almost died and then Prim
had to extract her. And then that's when Bambi
broke, right? And like broke, broke and like
here's Prim hold like baby's falling apart in her arms,
right? And like doing that crying, that
is soul crushing and like nothing it will explain she's
traumatized more than Prim experiencing that.
I think that's the wake up that like Bambi is not OK.
Like that's the extent of her not being OK.
Like in her brain she's like, yeah, Bambi's but like she's
happy with me. So like how how like on OK is
she really? And like, here it is.
And I was like, OK, yeah, this is bad.
This is really bad. I don't think it really clicked
for Prim how bad it was until she witnessed it herself and was
like fuck. Yeah, because you never, you
don't know how bad it is when someone's really good at masking
it. And again, Prim knew about this
and never brought it up to Bambi.
Prim could have done that. Prim did not.
Time to. Prim did not.
Let her know that you know. Yeah, I knew Prim was going to
do something stupid like that. Not that that was not the move
for him. Yeah, because they don't fucking
talk about yet. So I called it that Ariel was
going to be the chaos demon that forced them to talk about their
problems because they were never going to naturally talk about
it. Understandably from Bambi's
point of view, I understand why she concealed it more so that
Prim could have been like, so Bambi, like, you know what I
mean? Where were you?
You know, she could have brought it up.
She didn't, but. No, she was too comfortable
living in the bubble that was their happy relationship.
She prefers band aids versus like actual problem solving.
She's like the band aid's fine. That's her MO for everything.
So I'm honestly not surprised by that.
I do like the dialogue in the car, the way Bambi kind of
frames things that like her she's and people can be mad at
Bambi for like having a girlfriend while she's in love
with because again, she didn't break up with Prim because she
didn't love Prim. She broke up with Prim because
now is not the time for us to date.
That was why they broke up. It wasn't I don't love you.
It was a you need to focus on you.
I need to focus on me, not that I don't love you.
So like, yeah. And then Prim is they stayed
friends. And so baby sees Prim living her
life, probably out of spite. It's Prim.
And so, you know, babies like, I don't want to, you know, I want,
I want to be loved still. So she tries to date somebody
and then is like, yeah, no, I can't as somebody's been through
that. I get that Like and you can be
mad at Bambi for like, why would you date somebody while you're
not over somebody? Sometimes you don't you don't
know that you're not going to be over them, you know what I mean?
And until you're in the relationship and you're like,
fuck, this isn't working. But then it's hard to leave kind
of. So because we don't know the
context of like their relationship really.
Z and Bambi, like what it was really like, we did find out
that Z left her girlfriend for Bambi.
That was that was not a good move.
Yeah, it was not. Not a good move on her part, on
Z's part and also Baby's part. We're going after somebody had a
girlfriend, but who knows, Maybe baby, Yeah.
I wonder. How they got together?
Like what was those events? I don't know.
We don't know enough about Z to know.
Like how they met, like what was their social circles like?
How did that even happen? What we do know is that Pook the
actor got Plutoed again. Yeah.
You keep getting Pluto, Dara. I'm so sorry that that is how
you've been diecasted. RIP for justice for.
Justice for. I feel so bad for you.
Get a leading role in something
at some point, stop getting. Plutoed anyway.
Plutoed the series. Then she'll finally get the
leading role. Or will she only time?
We can go to the scene where Prim finally tells Arie.
Oh my God, fucking finally Prim for fuck's sake.
This was ridiculous. So I mean, I'm glad it happened,
but it was also absurd because like Prim is like Frim is trying
to be like, I'm uncomfortable having this conversation, but
we're here because you keep hitting on me and I'm your boss
and you're my employee. So this needs to stop.
And the fact that Arie at one point is like, well, maybe this
is reverse sexual harassment because you're making me
uncomfortable by having this conversation with me.
And I was like, what a move that was.
That was so funny. I was like, what are you doing?
Aries do know it. And Frim's like what?
Arie is insane at some point. She was crazy in that scene,
like desperate and irrational. But I was I thought that was
hilarious, the fact that she said that.
But I'm really proud of him for like literally drawing a line
and being like, you stay there. I stay here.
And then Arie's like fine and like leaves that conversation
and like that's why I think like her MO was like to like get Prim
and Bambi to break up and like again, do what happened to her
because Z broke up with her for Bambi.
So she's like, well, if I can get Prim to break up with Bambi
for me, Bambi will know how it feels.
I think that was the first thing she was going to do.
And then Prim's like, yeah, that's not going to work.
OK, I choose her, not you. And so then and when she leaves
that conversation, you see Airy kind of like make this like like
frustrated face. So I think that's when she
changes tactics to be like, OK, now I have to go after the
actual murder situation versus just trying to like, take her
girlfriend away from her. Yeah, I really like that.
Prim tells Arie that it doesn't just make Bambi uncomfortable,
it makes her uncomfortable as well because she could have
easily framed it like, oh, this is making my girlfriend
uncomfortable. You cannot keep doing this.
And like, she got out. Yeah, like, put it all on Bambi
rather than taking ownership. Yeah, ownership of No, this is
your feelings as well, because this is weird for your employee
to do when you have a girlfriend and you're just letting it go.
Yes, when you have the power. So finally, Prim steps into her
power for good. And then from there we go to
Bambi's opening and. Yes.
I love when Shasha comes in and is sees Bambi and like the two
of them just light up. Like their relationship is the
cutest and I'm so glad that they have each other as friends.
I know he said this in the last episode as well, but just that
scene in particular was so cute. It was very cute and especially
I go I'm sorry. No, just especially with Bambi,
like just coming off of like the panic attack scene and just like
going through with Arie a little bit, just seeing her so carefree
and happy. Yes.
Was just so nice to see. Yes and I was right that Bambi
is that friend because when they come in the conversation is like
where's Goria Cuz didn't why didn't you invite her?
I gave you a + 1 and you showed up alone.
And then Sasha says something real vague and then Bambi's
like, no, no, no, everyone's going to get the happy ending.
I have Pram, you have Goria, everyone's happy.
And then Sasha's like, well, a villain just appeared.
And then Bambi, it gets alarmed and she's like, what do you
mean? Who do we got to fight?
And then she's like, no, no, no, no drama.
But Bambi's like ready to charge the castle and be like, who the
fuck would be killing? Like, point me in the direction
of that again. She's that friend.
So I sadly did not get my Bambi Crystal team up where they were
trying to get Gloria and Sasha together, but Bambi would
absolutely 100% a game for that just based on that conversation.
Like she'd be like do anything to get you you're happy.
Like she's that friend does extreme shit to make you happy.
Like I was right. So I like that was there.
So that was cute. She definitely is that friend
and it's I hope we get more of them because I love watching
them two together in supportive ways.
Yeah, I hope so. Probably we sprinkled out
because we're going to have to deal with more of Bambi's.
But but anyway, something I liked before we got to that
scene is when Sasha comes in, before Sasha comes in, the men
and Bam Bammy men and Prim are talking And basically that's
when men's like looking around the business woman is like, you
know what, I think this could be super successful if she
advertises this correctly, bigger than our mom's brand.
And like, Prim's, like, I'm happy to hear you say that
because like, I really want Bambi to put all of her energy
into work so that she doesn't think about the past.
Prim basically says that out loud.
So like, my thing is like, OK, Prim is making some progress
here. Like, she's become more
empathetic towards Bambi, but Prim does not understand what
Bambi needs to heal, OK? Because what she's saying is,
OK, Bambi needs to deal with this difficult situation like
how I would deal with it, which is to avoid it by throwing
myself entirely into work and not paying attention to anything
else. Like then she'll forget the past
if she does that. So like it Prim.
Prim's still Prim at the end. At the end of the yes.
She's like work, work, work's what we.
All need no, she's just like avoidance.
Avoidance is what there's another there's the other scene
later where they're in the the record shop.
Prim does the same thing like Prim is just like avoid it,
avoid it, avoid it. And it's like print like Bambi
needs to process it like if Prim is not is pulling her away from
the processing so. Yeah.
Yeah, I, I, I really hope by the end of this they're friends.
And Prim understands that like, Bambi needs therapy and just
like support and like, not for Prim can't be the center of her
life. Like Bambi needs to be the
center of her own life. And I'm hoping they're friends
with the end so that she can do that.
And then you can time jump like 10 years in the future where
they're like travelling the world and they're together.
But like Bambi needs time to heal, you know, like really
needs fun. She can't just be focusing on
other shit like that's. That's the Band-Aid.
That's what I mean. Prim likes Band-Aid solutions.
It's not the band. That's not going to fix it.
It's just going to cover it up for now, kind of.
Thing that's true. Oh, also we get the great line
of Kasasha comes in and they're all fine and then she goes and
sees Bambi and we get the great the iconic line from men where
she's like, I'm glad you 2 top lesbians.
I put your shit aside and you're not fighting anymore.
And which was a funny. And then Prim, I like Prim's
line of like, it's basically a saying like we're a small
community. We're all we should be
supporting each other in fighting.
Like we should band together. So I like that she said that.
Yeah, that's another great line from Prim.
Good job, Prim. Yeah, your job, Prim.
You don't get many compliments here, but.
You don't, because you're still you at the end of the day.
Someone else who doesn't get a lot of compliments here is Arie,
who of course has to interrupt this opening and send Bambi into
another panic attack by calling her murderer and throwing a
drink in her face in front of all the reporters so she can
cause a scene because. And she like tells Bambi like, I
thought you liked causing scenes.
She does. She does.
Yeah, she does. That is true.
But freaking airy man. I mean, to be fair on Aries
part, if she wanted to get to Bambi, this was the best way to
do it. That's what I mean, yeah.
Yeah, this was Plan B because plan A was get her girlfriend to
leave her so she understands what I went through and the next
is like, OK, well I'm going full on revenge for person I love
that you killed in my mind. So yeah, that makes sense.
And then she leaks it to the press, the like dash Cam
footage, which how did she get that?
How did she get that? I I maybe if like, I don't know
because like, I don't know that like my only thing I could think
of off the time I had was that like Z family doesn't exist
because Bambi says it later. She's like her whole family is
dead, which what's going on in Thailand?
Every family is just dead all the time.
Like what's going on in these stories?
No one safe in Thailand. Apparently again, Officer
Hottie, her whole family gets wiped out, so it's poor she can
Pluto so hard. OK, anyway, so she dies and the
baby's like she's got no next of kin.
So I wonder if like the closest thing to a family member like
was Arie and like Arie got, I don't know.
Or was it like public record, which doesn't make sense.
Like I wonder if Arie kind of got it that way because like
she's the closest to next of kin or some shit.
I don't know if she gets like the possessions or I don't know.
I don't know. I don't.
Know I don't know how she got it.
It was Bambi's car, right? I don't know.
I guess I I guess maybe it wasn't.
Maybe it was. Yeah.
Who? Knows.
What's her name's Car ZI Don't remember.
I don't remember how that how the the flashback started.
If it started with like Z rolling up, getting out of the
car or if like Bambi was going in the car, I don't remember.
I don't remember. Bambi was going into the car and
then Z ran up to her and got into the passenger seat.
Yeah, I don't. I don't know.
So I don't know. No idea.
I know.
It's Arie did her job very well. Yep, Ari got her vengeance
leading to the press. Thing I like in that scene after
that is baby obviously runs off, Prim goes after her and then
Sasha is the one who is the voice in the room who says stop
taking photos. Delete them now, again, she's
getting getting something that she wish could have been said to
her when she was having her trauma moment.
And she gets to do that for her friend.
And that I love. That's some good writing.
Yeah. I would love that we got to see
her do that. I'm glad she got the opportunity
to do that for somebody she cares about.
I feel like once the camera's cut off camera, she went around
to every photographer was like, let me see your camera, I'm
deleting all the photos. I wouldn't put it past her.
She's powerful enough now to like, have authority over
people. Yeah.
Do you have anything about the no, no.
OK so the next thing I have is when Bambi goes to Aries
apartment. OK, so then other things I have
is the scene of them listening to music in the music store.
OK, so this goes back to what I was saying about Prim all being
all about avoidance. So they go in there, they're in
there. Baby's already listening to
music and Prim's like, what are you listening to?
And it's something sad. And then Prim's like, why are
you listening to sad songs? And Baby says something to the
effect of like, basically it's, it's a way that she can process
sadness and rather than like she's like, I'd rather do listen
to it and like feel the sadness then like listen to something
happy and just cry on the inside kind of thing.
So like my inner world doesn't match the outer world kind of
thing. I have to mask more.
So what does Prim do? Prim has this whole conversation
with her and she's like, let's put on a love song instead.
And so she changes the music to something happy and like she's
being cute with Bambi because she's trying to get her to
forget that she's sad, right? And it works for a bit, But if
you watch till the very end of that scene, you'll notice
Bambi's facial expressions change from like happy to like
she's doing that like I'm masking my sadness facial
expression, which film? Great job.
She keeps doing another other show and it's really good,
meaning that like Prim is not helping.
Like I know that Prim means well, but like the avoidance
thing is not actually helping Bambi.
But that's how Prim deals with shit is by avoiding it.
And so she's like do do what I do and it's like that's not
helping. And so I think they need to have
a but anyway, so. No Bambi literally says that
she's she will cry on the inside if she has like pretends to be
happy. But that's why I think Prim's
like, let me make you happy and then put happy music on and
you'll stay happy. I think that's Prim's brain
being like, I'll change your mood and just make you happy and
then you won't be sad. But like Bambi needs to process
the sadness. And like that's why she was
like, listening to sad songs helps me process it.
That's basically what she was saying.
And like Prim's like, how about we just skip to happy and then
you don't have to be sad at all. That's like Prim's thinking, So
it's not going to work. And I think they're still in
trouble is my bottom line. But Prim does it twice where
she's like avoid the problem. And it's like, girl, she keeps
doing that. OK.
Oh, other thing I just wanted to mention, I forgot I had this in
here about the bucket list thing.
What I thought was really interesting is that like Prim
has achieved most of her bucket list, you know, like basically
she's like the only things that are missing are like an award
traveling the world with Bambi and then like the movie, but
she's like that's in the works. So she's almost done with the
bucket list. So in a way to Bambi that kind
of validates Bambi being like, I'm glad I we broke up so that
you could achieve your dreams because look at you've almost
achieved all of them in a short amount of time.
Like Prim just started her career.
Like I feel like that was validating for Bambi to like,
hear. I am glad.
I'm glad our time apart served you well because that's what
Bambi wanted. She's like, I just want you to
get everything you want and like, Prim's doing it.
So I felt like that was valid. That's very true.
Aw. Yeah.
But also like girl, what are you going to look work for to now
got to find another top five things you need to do before you
die. No, you just live your life.
Then she's like, you just travel the world.
Fuck it, I'll retire. Yeah, all right.
You can go to the next scene. OK so towards the end of the
episode Bambi and Prim go to visit Arie and I'm very
impressed with how much Bambi respected Arie because Prim is
like will sue her. All this and like she ruined
your life but Bambi stops prim and is like she doesn't want to
ruin Aries life despite what she did.
And Bambi is actually willing to hear Arie out about why she did
what she did. So maybe Bambi did go to therapy
a bit because she's willing to know that.
She's willing to see that Arie had reasons for why she did what
she did. It wasn't just maliciousness
like there's a reason why to What led Ari to do what she did?
Yeah, that's true. I also think that this is
Bambi's guilt because Bambi feels like she is responsible
for this. And so she's like, if this
person is upset over Z's death, like I am responsible for that.
So like if they want to be mad at me, then they have every
right to be mad at me. I'm mad at me.
Like I think this is also herself deprecation kind of
thing too. So it's it's another way that
she can punish herself for this thing.
She's already punishing herself over kind of thing.
I think that's part of it. That makes sense.
But yeah, you're right and. So yeah, when they go into Aries
apartment, Bambi apologizes right away and Arie immediately
slaps her in the face. She sure does.
And Prim is like, you can't do that and is about to step in
between them. But Bambi's like, you can hit me
as many times as you want if it'll make you forgive me.
Because she thinks that she deserves all of this.
Exactly. And they get into it and this is
when Airy reveals that she was Z's girlfriend before and like Z
left her for Bambi. And she was basically says that
it's Bambi's fault that she's dead right now, right?
And so like in this scene, Bambi's like, I kept living my
life. I've felt all this guilt for all
this time. All I could do is just try to
move on and live. So like while Bambi was just
trying to move on and put things in the past, Arie was stuck in
this past and letting it consume her and so like.
I don't know, I feel like Bambi was stuck in the past until Prim
came back in her life. You feel like baby's trying to
move on now but wasn't before really, because I again, she was
just like partying and like taking Xanax and drinking.
Like she wasn't really moving on.
She was very much like feeling guilty as fuck.
I think now she's trying to move on because now she has Prim, she
has the thing that makes her happiest of all like and that's
her moving on as Prim, which again, like again, baby's whole
life revolves around Prim now and it's not healthy.
But but yeah, she's trying to make this.
She's trying to make the point to Z, to airy.
You need to move on. Also kind of thing.
You need to move on from this somehow.
Yeah. And then Bambi starts moving in
closer to Arie and she approaches her to hug her and
it's very slow and yeah I I love how she went about hugging her
because it gave Arie the opportunity to give her consents
of the hug or pull. Away.
Yes, like many, many times, because this was very slow.
Yeah, I like how she did. That but really at the end of
the day it seems like Arie is lonely and like no one knows
what she is going through like Bambi does.
Well, yeah, they both lost Z, you know what I mean?
Like they understand each other's grief.
That's. Yeah.
That's the thing, like Prim doesn't understand their grief.
Prim is also in the room, but Bambi and Arie understand each
other's grief. Internet.
And I think them being able to cry it out together while just
holding each other was very cathartic for them because this
is something that the only the two of them could understand was
the grief between the two of them because they could bond
over this. And like really like, if they
got past this, they could talk about Z and like, memories of
her and keep her alive because only these two can understand
this loss that they've both faced.
And we we keep panning to Prim during all this and like, to me,
she kind of looks annoyed at this.
I know she's like feeling like, yeah, like I know because she's
like, it's partly my fault too, but I wonder if she's also also.
Bambi when Bambi goes in for the hug OK and they finally hug,
Bambi says I'm sorry and breaks again.
And she's doing that like again, the soul crushing crying again
like you can hear how much this hurts her and she keeps saying
I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't mean to do
what I'm sorry. And like, Prim is witnessing
that again, like she's being confronted again with the fact
that she did the cute happy music in the in the music store.
And like, Bambi's still not happy.
She's still not OK. Like she's still this hurt
still. Like, it's it's forcing Prim to
confront the fact that Bambi's still not OK, that I think
that's what she's like having a hard time dealing with too, is
the fact that Bambi's so torn up still about this and like, can
just break when she thinks about it.
Like, yeah, I think that's actually what this is.
I don't think she's annoyed that, like, Arie and Bambi are
like, being cathartic or hugging.
She's not like, jealous. I think it's a she's being
forced to confront the fact that Bambi's not OK and Prim can
pretend that Bambi's OK when they're being cute, you know,
and they're they're doing their fluffy stuff.
OK, but this is real. And like Prim can't avoid this.
Like this is it's real. Bam's not OK.
Like and Prim's kind of not enough.
In my opinion, Prim is not enough to cure Bammy because
again, to quote heart stop, her love can't cure a mental illness
like Prim can't cure Bambi of this.
And I think Prim eventually is going to have to accept that so
that Bambi can get the help she actually needs because Prim is
not enough for I think that's where we're headed in the next
couple episodes because Prim's not enough because she's not a
licensed therapist. It's not anything wrong with
there's a lot of things wrong with Prim, but like she's Prim,
but like it's Prim can't help her.
She's not she's not a professional trained to do this.
She's not. Love can't cure a mental
illness. You just can't.
Bambi needs actual help that Prim can't provide.
And I think they're both, they're both going to have to
accept that. I think Bambi's also going to
have to accept the fact that Prim cannot be her replacement
Xanax, like, because she kind of treats Prim like that, you know?
So yeah, I think that was part of why Prim was uncomfortable,
because she's being forced to confront the trauma that she
can't cure. And that makes sense for why we
get the scene with Shasha and Min coming to Prim her aid and.
The top support group at the end.
I love that. Yeah, and basically comforting
her and telling her that it wasn't her fault either, because
here Bambi's not Bambi Prim's like, well, she was leaving to
come see me, right? So I am partly the reason.
Yes, she is actually. But yeah.
Yeah, yeah. But Min and Shasha, Min
particularly is like she left, she broke up with you.
Anything that happens after that has nothing to do with you,
although it really did have something to.
Do that's what it because you can't solve prim.
Prim is the reason they broke up.
Like you can't absolve you actually get out of solve prim
of this. But at the end of the day, it's
ZS. Fault yeah.
Now at the end of the day, shit happened.
Like it like Prim didn't push the car into the traffic.
Like Z kind of Z and Bammy were fighting in the car and like
shit went sideways. Like yeah, like it's just like.
But the trauma is real, regardless of like whose fault
this was, who was involved because they were all involved
in some way. But it's like the the damage is
done. Somebody is dead.
Now what like we have to process this, move on and like deal
with, we have to deal with it, Prim, we have to deal with it.
And I think Prim is coming to the terms of the fact they have
to deal with this and it's hard. It's hard.
It's making Prim uncomfortable. That's why she's like, I don't
want to cry. You're going to make me cry
again. Like she's uncomfortable in this
position and doesn't want to be in this position because I don't
think Prim likes understandable. Who the hell likes being sad?
Like, I get it. You know, who likes seeing their
loved one got wrench cry more than you know what I mean?
Like, who wants to be in that position that is uncomfortable,
you know, So, but I think what they're showing is that like,
they have Prim has support, Bambi has support in the forms
of friends, but Bambi needs licensed therapy and like a
psychiatrist and like professional help that love
can't cure. And I think that's where this is
ultimately headed. Yeah, and I'm glad we're
actually headed there. Yeah, well, I hope so.
Fingers crossed. Yes.
OK, question, So now that we have the context of Ary and Z
and what their relationship was, how that went down.
OK, Do you think that Ary's breakup phone call in the
bathroom one more Prim was overhearing it?
Do you think that was her reliving when Z broke up with
her for Bambi? That's a good.
Point because at one point in the episode, Prim's like, do you
even have a girlfriend? Like it's a baby's point.
She's like, she's full of shit. So I don't I am of the train
that Zeri Ari never had a girlfriend that was all made-up
and she was just speaking about Z as the girlfriend.
Oh yeah, I don't, I think, I don't think.
I think the fight on the phone was what happened with Z because
if you listen to that that conversation that it was, it was
like I don't understand what I did wrong and like why are we
fight? Like it didn't seem like it was
Aries fault. Whatever the hell that fight was
about was on the other person, which would make sense because
he was breaking up with her for somebody else.
So like if you go back with that dialogue, it's I think I think
that was she's really, I think she's.
Sense. She's tormenting herself with
the breakup too, and I think she's stuck in it.
And so that was what she was saying on the phone was that.
And that's why she's crying like she's because she's upset still
about it, I think. She's too consumed in her grief
about what happened to even have another girlfriend to even like,
try to get over her with someone else.
Like for sure Bambi did, yeah, that she really had no focus on
anyone else. Like she was fully focused on Z
this entire time. Yeah, so that really that put
knowing that really put that phone call and it gave me a new
perspective on that phone call. And I was like, damn, that's
probably the fight that there was their actual breakup, so.
Yeah, all. Right, that's all I got for the
April. Yeah, that's all I got too.

All right, now that we've thanked Patreon for being
themselves, let's move over to the B plot, which is Sasha and
Gloria. So as predicted, this is the
last episode where these two are in the will.
They won't they stage, so yay. But we had to have some inks
because Crystal's here. And boy, was Crystal here in
this episode. My God.
Yeah, that understatement, that crystal is here.
Crystal is here and also I found out this week.
I guess this week they posted Forever Yours.
The song that Crystal keeps singing is an actual OST, so
Emmy sings a full version of it. It's now on in on YouTube.
It's glorious. Again, any excuse to get Emmy to
sing. And they're like, can you just
sing us a whole ass OS? You're not even starring in the
show. Can you just give us a whole ass
OST? I love her to death.
So the fact that we had her singing this so many times, I'm
glad we get a full version of it.
It's really great. If you haven't heard it, go
check it out. And there's the music videos.
Fun. It has like all the couples in
it from the series also, not just Emmy serenading you.
So what's not to love? But OK, so I think that when we
were predicting what the hell was gonna happen in the B pot,
we were like both right and both wrong.
This was like a combination of both of our thoughts.
Because your thought was that okay, Crystal was just doing
this just for Sasha. And then I was like, I don't
know, Gloria is hot. Maybe she's in the Gloria.
It was both, which is fun. So it starts off with with
Crystal and Goria working together now.
So she's officially been hired as Crystal stylist for the
music, another music. I thought they printed the music
video. This is for her tour.
Maybe this is a tour, not the music video because they were
like filming her in front of like a screen.
So I was confused what they were doing.
But I guess that's just for the show.
So she's going on tour with Crystal, I guess and is styling
her for all of the things, right.
And then Crystal, I love that she's pulling power moves.
She's like, thanks everybody. Can you give me alone time with
my stylist now and get the fuck out of this room.
It's like an auditorium and Gory's like what is happening
right now because she can't. She's flexing all her power as
the talent. And so she's doing as like her
flirting tactic and then escalates this by Gory's like
showing her clothing and Krystle's laying it on super
thick. She's like, I trust your styling
choices. I trust you, I trust you.
And then she's like, here, this is the next elephant.
And Krystle's like cool. And then she just starts
changing and, and Gory's like, aren't you worried about like
hidden cameras? And like, this isn't a change.
It grew. Yes, that just shows that Goria
always has people's best interests in mind and is a.
Sector first. Because she does not want
anything to happen to her like it did this shot.
Sasha Yeah. Again, Gloria telling on herself
what? What is on her brain?
Sasha is on her brain. Yeah, you're right.
I didn't even put that together. Sasha, she's Sasha is on her
brain right now. That's why she says that.
But also Gloria has St. smarts and she's like, this is really
stupid what you're doing for a practical reason.
I get that you're flirting with me, but this is crazy.
But Crystal keeps doing it and she's like, you've seen naked
models before. You've seen Sasha naked.
I guess for modeling reasons. Gori's like, yes.
Modeling reasons, sure. And I love how she's like, yeah,
I got. Used to it.
I got used to it. I kept coming back for more.
Yep, she got really used to it. Laura is always telling on
herself. It just makes me laugh so hard.
Anyway, so then that that happens, they flirt and then
Goria is like, I got to go to the gym because I who could I
possibly run into who also uses this gym at the same time as me?
And then she runs into Sasha, right?
And Sasha's like, where the hell are you working with Crystal?
And like, is this the same day where she's like, how did you
find this out so fast? I like to think I was like
several hours later, just like, why do you know this already?
It's just happened. How?
Often do Crystal and Sasha talk all right?
I think that that's an important question to ask that's going to
tie into the rest of this because judging by this
conversation all the time, I think they constantly talk to
each other, is my impression, at least now, now that they're,
which means desorbits. Are they friends?
Because that means she does have a friend.
Yeah, they're friends. They've been friends.
They're just, I don't think they're super close.
Yeah, OK. But they do talk.
But I don't think that Sasha calls Crystal when she's like.
Having a panic? Attack kind of that.
Not that kind of friend. The friends can mean a lot of
things, right? But yeah, they talk.
And obviously, so Gloria clocks that because they talk.
That's the key, right? They talk and then she's like,
OK, you know this. And then they get into this,
like verbal sparring thing. OK, for all the people out
there. OK, I just want to pause here
for a second. I think what there's been a lot
of critiques going on on the Internet with the fandom people
about this episode, especially with them.
And people are upset that these two did not have some like big
passionate reunion at the end and did not have a big long love
confession the way like Min and Prow kind of did.
And I would argue that like, it doesn't make sense for them
right now to do that knowing these two characters.
And also like, this is not a, this is not a romance.
It's not a typical romance. Their relationship is this big
ass backwards thing that starts off with passion, then the
passion stops and they become friends.
And now they're at the part where they both want to
transition into dating, which is passion plus friendship, which
is like emotions, right? They want to put it all
together, but they're stupid and they're traumatized.
They don't know how OK. And they're both bad at it.
And this conversation is an amazing example of that because
they're talking about dating in subtext.
This entire conversation is just straight up subtext because
neither of them, neither of them are direct about what's going on
here. And but also, if you watch this
conversation, OK, in the conversation here, Sasha is
upset understand because like, where would where did we leave
the last episode? I thought she's like, I thought
I made myself clear when I was like, maybe let's not have sex
right now. We'll just leave it at I'm going
to kiss you. We had a good time, like
emotionally talking, and then I'm going to leave.
And then she's like, what do you mean you're with Crystal?
That just happened. So she's upset, OK.
And basically her whole conversation was like, how do I
get you to to quote, how can I be?
How can I get you to be my exclusive stylist?
Like, which means how to date me?
How do I get you to date me? That's what she's asking.
And she's real upset. But if you watch Goria when
they're doing the back and forth, Gori's having a great
time. Gori is smiling.
Gori's loving this because in this conversation Sasha is like
begging her. She's like, how do I get just,
she's like, I can give you money, I'll double the money and
then or it's like, it's not about the money, even though I
just said it was about money. It's not about money.
And she's like, okay, why? I can take you.
You can be internationally, you can get experience
internationally and like do all these things and just I can pay
to go. She's like, OK, what the fuck do
you want? Like what do you want?
I'm trying to like give you all the things you said that Crystal
could give you. And then Gory's like, I don't
know this. Notice they're having fun.
Well, not Sasha, but Gory is having fun with this situation
because Sasha's begging. Gory has all the power and so
she's having fun with the back and forth.
And then Sasha's like, OK, fine, if you hang out with my ex,
she's going to hit on you because she's basically me.
And also look at you. She's going to try to date you.
And then Gloria is like, will she having just come from that
again, she's being coy about it, having just come from that scene
where where Crystal's like, I'm just going to get naked in front
of you, why not kind of thing. And then she's like, OK, well,
if she hits on me, she hits on me, whether or not I'm into her
is a whole nother story. And like, she's being like coy
about this with Sasha. And they're doing this back and
forth, back and forth. And at the end of it or during
it, Gloria says something like, oh, yeah, Sasha is like, be my
stylist exclusively. And gory is like, that's boring.
I don't want to do that. There's nothing new here.
This is like the big subtext thing.
And then Sasha, when they're talking about Crystal, is like,
OK, well, if Crystal starts hitting on you, is that the
challenge you're looking for? Like, a new person is what she's
asking. And the gory is like, I don't
know. But having a choice is pretty
fun because I never get to have those.
So I thought that was really interesting, the challenging
line, because if you go back, like way back to like the first
episode when Sasha was like hitting on Goria at the photo
shoot or whatever. And then once Sen comes in and
asks Sasha why do you insist on hitting on her constantly?
And Sasha says she's challenging.
And I like that because Goria keeps saying like saying no,
it's like a game. They like the game.
That's my point. They both like the game they're
playing and because of this game, because again, look at
Goria when they're in that conversation, she's having so
much fun playing the game because she has upper hand.
Sasha's begging and she gets to do the verbal, I don't know,
back and forth to make rile Sasha up because Sasha's always
riling her up. That's why she likes her.
But The thing is, they're so deep in the game that they're
not communicating. And that's the barrier here.
So this was never going to end with them directly communicating
because that like it's taking them forever to stop playing the
game. Like both of them to stop
playing these games with each other because like that's been
their relationship kind of this entire time, right?
They're kind of playing one big game with each other.
That's now. But they're both at the point
where they're like, I don't want to play the game anymore, but I
don't know how to quit the game because I feel like if I quit
the game, I'm going to lose you. And so I'm still trapped in the
game. So they mutually have to get out
of the game and then, like, talk, which they do by the end
of the episode, like when they're in the robes in Sasha's
apartment, they're actually, like, talking for real.
Like, it just takes them a while because they're dumb.
They're dumb. And that's why I love them.
They're dumb and in love. They're just This is expressing
feelings for dummies. That's that one.
So yeah, I really like that conversation in the gym.
I thought it was like good, great example of just like their
relationship. And that's what it's been this
just like back and forth, back and forth.
But the power has changed from Sasha having all the power to
well, most of it to gory. And I have in the upper hand
because they're the crystal has entered the chat, right?
So then Crystal proceeds to keep pursuing Gloria throughout the
episode, essentially. And then takes her out on a
date. She's like, first of all, she's
like, let's talk about work at a bar at night after work hours
and then takes her there and like refuses to talk about work.
And then she's like, let's do let's do small talk first small
talk. And then she's like, what's the
deal with you and Sasha and Gloria's like this is your idea
of small talk. You're going to talk about your
ex-girlfriend. So I think, I think there's
multiple clues throughout all of this that Crystal and Sasha are
are ganging up against her because they've done it before.
Yes, this is not new territory. This is not new territory,
right? So there's other thing there's a
critique about this on the Internet was people are like,
wow, I can't believe Sasha manipulated Goria.
And it wasn't this like romantic truth thing.
I was like, here's the deal. Like Goria knew there's no way
Goria didn't know these two ganged up to do this.
Like she knew there's so many clues.
Like when when Crystal says I'm not good at acting, I believe
her now because she does so many things here that if you're
Goria, who's seen this film before, she's like, these two
are definitely in cahoots on some level about this.
Because the way Goria answers the questions also were kind of
vindictive to me because she asks again, what's her answer to
the Sasha thing? It's that it's the same way she
would kind of answer Sasha where she's like, there's nothing
there. There's also something there.
It's really up to Sasha. She's like telling Crystal,
like, go when you report back to Sasha, tell her this.
That's what she's that's the dialogue.
She's like, yeah, she she knew. She knew this was all a setup
kind of deal. Not that Crystal at this stage
was like explicitly doing that, but like, they were talking.
So she's saying things that she knows are going to go back to
Sasha. That's how Gori was answering
the questions. Along the lines of that like
Gloria says that Shasha is hot and cold with her about like
what their relationship is. And I wish Crystal told Shasha
that instead of ultimately agreeing to continue to get with
Gloria to make her go to Shasha because go ahead.
Gloria already put herself out there like it's Shasha's turn to
show her cards now. Sasha showed her hand first like
Goria didn't. That's the thing.
I was like Goria said that I'm like you are hot and cold with
Sasha. Also remember the episode where
it all the Crystal stuff where Crystal's concert and then
Goria, Goria leaves and Sasha chases her out of there and
she's like why are you leaving? And then they have that
conversation and Goria's upset and Sasha's so desperate that
she shows her hand. She's like you're the only one.
You're you're special to me. She shows her hand 1st and then
Goria at that part was so emotional and upset.
She she wasn't in a a place to process what Sasha was saying.
She was just hurt and is defensive about it.
But Sasha shows her hand first. So like when you're, if you're
Sasha, Sasha is like when I'm direct with you, you don't
believe me? But like the way that Goria
engages with her at the most is if she plays games with her, if
she jokes around, if she's like is that does that weird
flirtatious shit that gets under Goria's skin.
That's what Goria keeps coming back to.
So that's why Sasha's like, I don't know how to be direct
because when I'm direct, you don't believe me.
So the Goria is also hot and cold.
Like that's the thing. They're they're very similar in
their approach to this relationship.
So for her to say that I'm like, girl, you're also like that.
That's that's the problem. That's the problem.
Because you guys are in the game, you're playing the game
too much and not nobody's being direct.
And when somebody's direct, the other person doesn't believe
them. Because really, if you think
about Goria and Sasha, they both have trauma that makes them
defensive. Like we know Goria or not Goria.
We'll start with Sasha. Sasha has trauma from her
entertainment industry stuff that makes it probably, I would
imagine, really challenging to trust that people want something
honestly from her because most people want things from her
transactionally. They don't like want her as the
person. So when somebody's being nice to
her, is it genuine or do you want to use me for something?
I've with Sasha's experience, mostly people want to use her
right? So forming a connection that's
genuine is going to be challenging for her because she
doesn't have many of those. Crystal might be a real one now
where they're like, you know, and now she has Bambi.
That's a see how she has new friendships.
Like not I've known you since I was 10 years old kind of stuff.
And then on Gloria's side, Gloria has been repeatedly shown
over and over again by romantic love interest that she's not
enough. Right?
Yeah, because she keeps getting cheated on.
Prim was like, well, you're not Bambi and, you know, but, you
know, so she's never enough. So then when somebody says I and
Prim specifically was like, you're my type, let's date one
day. And whoever her girlfriend was,
they dated for a year and then that girlfriend cheats on her.
So like Gory is like, when you tell me you like me, do you mean
it? Do you mean only me?
And then she's got these whip, these baddies right now who like
Crystal says it at one part. She's like, I can get anybody I
wanted. And Gory's like, I'm well aware
of that. That's what she's afraid of with
Sasha. She's like, are you going to say
you like me now? And they get bored with me 3
seconds later and find somebody else and then I get hurt again.
So like they're defensive around each other because they both
really lack those like honest connections where it's like just
I just like you for you kind of thing.
Like both, neither of them have that.
So they're they're they disbelieve the other one when
they tell them that stuff. Does that make sense?
Yeah, that's fair. Yeah.
So I think that leads to a lot of their miscommunication
because they're scared to actually communicate how they
feel most like a lot of the time and even with each other,
they've been burned when they put themselves out there.
So that's why Gori is like, she's hot and cold with me.
But then Sasha's probably telling Chris she's hot and cold
with me. Like that was probably the
conversation. She's like, what do you?
She's also like, like, anyway, so then that continues and then
Crystal's like basically like, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
You don't want to date Sasha because if you're not the real
deal, she's never going to take you seriously.
And then then she pivot since like you also you shouldn't you
personally shouldn't date her anyway.
And like puts her hand on Goria's knee and Goria doesn't
have doesn't really react to that said.
She's like, what's that over there?
What's that? The deflection, right?
Again, it's, it's very clear Goria's headspaces this entire
time and she's like, what's that?
I feel like if Crystal wasn't Sasha's ex, she probably
wouldn't have gone on a date with her.
I think part of the curiosity from Goria first, I mean,
Crystal's really hot, so yes. But like, I think part of it is
that she is Sasha's ex and they're in communication.
I think it's partially why Goria says yes to this.
But if she was some rando, I don't think Goria would have
said yes. Anyway, it's really, what's that
Crystal's like? Oh, it's a secret bar.
Let's go. Which is really random.
OK, I got I got some thoughts about the secret bar.
Random and it's only women so it's like a secret gay bar.
That was my guess. But like a secret bar, it is so
much for a secret bar when you have so many people coming and
going. I.
Know that it draws attention to two of the bar?
Yeah, it doesn't make any fucking sense.
I know, I don't know. I love when Gloria goes in there
and she's like a secret bar. I didn't know about it.
Well, it's not called a secret bar for nothing, Gloria.
I know that's nobody. I was like Doug, Gloria, that
was. Really.
There's a reason it is called secret.
I mean, probably it's not a good well kept secret.
But I mean, yes, apparently, because apparently it's Vegas
according to Crystal. And she's like, what happens
here stays here. So like, it's not not only is
this place a secret, things that happen here are also a secret.
It's like, OK, weird that we're all here.
All right. So then they're hanging out and
Crystal's doing her thing. And then Sasha shows up with a
Bipor. So my favorite person that gets
recruited into this is Bipor. Actually, I thought that was
hilarious because she just shows up like yay, I'm happy to be.
She's such a puppy, I love her so much.
That was hilarious. She's like, you want me to help
you make someone jealous? OK.
Yeah, as soon as I saw Bipor, I immediately knew.
Well, like I hoped that Shasha had her consent to use her to
make Gloria jealous. Because I'm like, we've grown so
much, there's no way she's just like dragging her along like
this now. But my friends just like going
to the club and dancing, you know?
Friends do that. Like I've done that with people.
But do you think Bipor agreed to this because she's still in the
Shasha or is it just you can't say no to a pretty girl?
I think Bipor is like, you're my friend.
I will help my friend. Also, I don't want to be home.
So secret bar with women, like secret lesbian bar, gay bar.
Yeah. Like, bring me in.
Like. Yeah.
I think she's just eager to get out there.
That's like, Shasha's, like, she's naive.
She's like, meaning like, she's new to the same kind of thing.
Yeah. Because Bipor has been living
with Prim's mom and they don't live in Bangkok, according to
Prim. And when she was kind of
explaining it, or I don't know exactly where they live, but
they don't live in the city. So like Bipor's in the city now.
So like, she wants to explore. So like Sasha's like, hey, you
want to go clubbing with me? You'd say no to that?
That sounds like a great time. She knows all the hotspots.
She's VIP everywhere. So if anything, Bipor's like
this is just going to be fun. But I think on Sasha's part, it
was brilliant to pick Biport because not only is biper like
yay like and it's like a puppy dog and how do you kick it back?
It's a puppy dog, but she's a brilliant person to pick because
it even if Goria figures out that this is all stage, which I
think Sasha's like, she might figure this out because like
it's Goria because Goria always figures it out, right?
That's what's the conversation, the music video.
She's like, whereas like, I knew you and your fucking idiot X put
the music video together just to get us close together.
And Sasha's like you knew and yet you said yes.
So I think Sasha's like, OK, if Goria, because again, they're
just playing games. Gora's like she's like, if Goria
figures it out, I have to at least make this somebody she
would be jealous about. And so she picks Bipor because
Goria knows Bipor had a thing for Sasha.
So if anything, there's a very real possibility that Bipor's
not over Sasha and like, like their closeness is threatening
to Gloria. Even if the scenario with
Crystal is like fake, you know what I mean?
There's real possibility there. So good pick on Sasha's part to
pick Bipor. That's true.
I think that they're definitely setting up Bipor and Crystal as
a potential thing, not just because they're like this
couple, but like with the looks that they gave each other during
that scene. Especially when Crystal says her
type of girl is right here. After.
Bipor asks her and Bipor like her face falters slightly before
Crystal turns to Goria and just plays it off like it's her.
Like you can biporally starts gay panicking.
Like Oh my God it's me. Bipor asks what's your type,
Crystal? She asks that because she starts
it and then Crystal's like she's right here.
I was like, oh, oh, and that was this one.
Yeah, no, they were definitely flirting.
Like that's definitely going to happen.
I I have theories about that based on like, again, Bipor is a
director, so they're in the same circle.
I've been saying that especially with Prim going Mia in the next
episode, I think Bipor is going to step in as director role.
And so yeah, I feel like that was the, I feel like Biper's
like, God dammit, if this wasn't a mission, I can go get that.
Yeah. Cuz like Crystal's basically
Sasha just like with short hair and she sings.
Yeah, so she's Bipor's type. For sure, and then they start
dancing separately and if you are with one girl but just keep
staring at another one on the dance floor, you don't have to
question anymore, you should be with the other one.
Well, I get the end, the end. They're both in the headspace of
like, I'm choosing you. Are you going to make the first
move? You make the first move.
You make the first move that they're in a standstill.
But you are correct. The other thing I want to note
about the dancing stuff is that before Bipor and Sasha show up,
Crystal's doing her thing, right.
But Gory, if you watch her, like, has her arms crossed, and
then Crystal's the one who's, like, got her hands on Gory's
hips, is like, trying to, like, get her to dance.
But Gory just doesn't engage until Sasha shows up with Bipor.
And then suddenly she's the one grabbing Crystal.
And I was like, put your arms on me now.
Like, it's very like, she wasn't into the dancing until they
showed up, which is hilarious. And as if Crystal's not going to
clap. Yeah.
All right. My thing, though, is about the
timeline of events. So when we get the flashback
later, when Sasha's master plan is revealed, Sasha and Crystal
are having a conversation in person where she's like, are you
actually into her? And then Crystal's like, not
really, not really. And then they make the plan.
She's like, she's like, I'll stop flirting whether you want
her. And then she's like, no, you
just keep doing it. The jealousy is working.
I just want to see if she actually chooses me.
Finally, they're having when they're having that
conversation, they're in the same clothes as they are in the
secret bar. Are they having that
conversation in the bathroom of the secret bar?
Because that was my impression. Yeah.
I thought it was during that time.
OK. Which means that Crystal just
brought Goria there. Maybe she texted Sasha's like,
where you going tonight? And then maybe that's why she,
like, brought by. Imagine this went on multiple
times. And she's like, damn it, they're
not. They're trying.
They're going through the study, trying to track them down.
Bipor's like, I'm just happy to be here.
I'm just happy she's a golden retriever.
I'm just happy to be here. Yeah.
So I think that, like, Sasha probably texted Crystal was
like, where you going tonight? And she's like, who are you
with? And like, figured out she's
there with Goria and then brings Bipor and then later sees the
jealousy. And then I was like, hey,
Crystal, are you actually into her?
Because she keeps staring at me. And I think that's when they
made the plan. So at first Crystal in good
faith was trying to get get Gloria, and then it changes
halfway through this Vegas evening or whatever.
And she's like, there's no way I'm going to get her.
And she's like, I'm really not into this anymore anyway so.
You brought Bipor? I've it wasn't great.
If she like pawned Bipor off on Crystal after Goria left, like
it'd be really funny. They stayed there and then Goria
and somewhere was like, I'm leaving and then she leaves in
Crystal's days. And then Sasha's like, yeah, I'm
done, but I have to hang out with Crystal then.
Kind of hoping that happened off screen.
Then Bipor's like you're my ride home and Chris was like, don't
worry, babe, I got you. Yeah.
I'm just, don't worry, you're staying with me.
And I was like, OK, I'm just having a beer.
Bipor. That was the cutest thing ever.
Also bipor shit where she's like Tasha's like, oh, she's naive.
Like she's like new to all this. And Bipor's like, I'm not.
I pretend to be so I'm more desirable.
I was like, girl, she's trying to be all tough.
I love, I love, she's so cute. I love my part.
She's the fucking cutest. All right, OK, so then, then
then when we come back to these idiots, it's one of my favorite
transitions in the show because of how fucking jarring it is.
Because what happens is before we go back to Crystal and
Gloria, the scene that precedes it is Bambi's Fiona thing.
So it ends with Bambi having a panic attack on the floor with a
pram and then hard cuts to Crystal going I'm hitting on
you. You know that, right?
Like the center transition is so jarring, like what just
happened. It's so jarring.
If you didn't catch that, go back.
It's hilarious. I'm just like sad, doesn't be
like I'm hitting on you. It's so jarring.
There is no, like, establishing shot just right into it, which
made me laugh. Oh, my gosh.
Yeah. It's so funny.
So Crystal and Gloria are alone. I don't know what they're doing.
And basically, like, in this conversation, Crystal's
extremely direct with Gloria. OK, Which is the thing.
She was like, Sasha's not direct with me.
You know, I'd argue that Gloria doesn't actually like that
because Dorie was having a gay old time at the gym.
Go watch her in the gym scene. She's having a gay old time with
that. Whatever they were doing that
fighting, arguing. That's her love length.
Again, she has a kink, guys, you have to understand she has a
kink. This is the kink.
The kink is Sasha riles her up with the the verbal stuff.
She loves that. She's never having more fun than
when they're doing that. Then here's Crystal and
Crystal's being stupidly direct where she's like date me flat
out says it. She's like date me.
And then Crystal kisses Gore and Goria freezes OK, and then
Crystal kisses her and now you can say, oh, Goria didn't know.
That's why she let Crystal kiss her.
I would argue that Goria did know her and Sasha were in
cahoots, hence her answers during this.
But here's the thing. Crystal's right here and
Crystal's. Crystal's saying date me being
direct. That's I, I think that catches
Gory off guard because no one's ever direct with her and she's
saying that and she's like Crystal's kind of my type.
What she says later. And then she's like, well, what
if? And then Crystal, you can be
enchanted by Crystal because look at her and still be into
somebody. I think she was kind of taken
off guard and a little enchanted by this and let's Crystal kiss
her cuz she's like, well, what if?
And then notice it like it's not like this like passionate, I'm
going to fuck you on this couch kind of kiss.
It's like a, I'm expressing how I feel with this kiss.
Kind of it's more emotional driven than like passionately
driven kind of thing and gory kind of lets that happen.
And like doesn't super participate in the kiss.
She's very still. Her eyes are open.
And then Crystal goes back to kiss her again.
And that's when Goria stops her, right?
Because I think it was a moment of like, well, what if she's
actually my type? What if I let this play out?
But I don't think that that sparked any kind of actual
feeling of anything. And Goria's like, no, that's
what she's like. You know what, thanks for
choosing me, but I can make my own fucking choices.
And then she leaves. OK, I feel like that's.
Exactly what's going on in her head.
Yeah also hydrate for Emmy in that scene and what she was
wearing cuz she looks really hot in that scene.
I would like to see that outfit more please.
Thank you for whatever the next show is.
Bring that outfit along. It's a great one.
I forget what their next show is called.
I really. I think it's called moon shadow.
It's moon something and I always forget the second word.
Thank you Moon Shadow. This.
Also watching Girls made me even more excited for that because
I'm like, I'm excited to see Home Wrecker film show up.
Funny show. At first I was like, I don't
know about this. Now I'm really excited.
I'm excited for film to show up and do whatever she's going to
do. Anyway, that's a side tangent.
OK, then. OK, then we get the romantic
drama of it all. Not that it wasn't all right
because again, Sasha set this shit up, OK.
And I think Sasha set up a lot of this because she knows that
Goria likes romantic comedies because what is one of the first
things they bond over? Sasha does that after they do
the the clothing thing, they come to Scoria's home.
And then they have the conversation when Goria's, like,
being a model is not that hard. And then Sasha reenacts the
scene from Notting Hill. Yeah, that's one of the first
times that Goria, like, freezes when she's with Sasha.
When she does that, she like stops and like kind of has a
moment and then she's like, wait a minute, you're just reenacting
my favorite movie and gosh, it's like, that's my favorite movie.
So she sets this thing up in my brain to be like a romantic
comedy. Hence why at the end she's like,
you're acting like a leading lady in a romantic comedy.
Do you like that? I thought you would because what
happens she's like, you have to choose between two really hot
women. Like it's set up like a romantic
comedy, right? You have to choose what is your
heart desire? That's the question that they're
posing to her. And then what goes down?
Gloria drives over there on like one of those mopeds or whatever,
and it starts raining. She's got to go in the rain to
get her luggage. It's just, it's set up like a
romantic comedy, right? And then she gets to the door
and then she doesn't just say like any normal romantic comedy
would be like, I choose you this and that.
No, but these idiots can't communicate because they like
their stupid games that they're playing.
So then she shows up and she's like, Chris will ask me out.
That's the first thing she says. She's like, you know, you're
you're a buddy in crime. Ask me out.
So she's like, OK, well, what did you say?
And then sort of like, what did you want me to say?
Because I think that's like a little accusatory of like, you
asked her to do this. So what did you want?
My answer? And Sasha's like, I want you to
say how you feel. This is as direct as these two
idiots can be when talking. And then Goria of course evades
that and is like, why I have choices now.
And Sasha's like, well, clearly you made the choice because
you're here, otherwise you wouldn't be here.
You'd be with Crystal cuz she's like, I know you're not going to
talk and be direct like cuz you're scared and I'm scared.
So let's set up this whole fucking fantastical scenario so
we can express how we feel through our weird banter and
like actions. I think that like again, people
are mad that they didn't have this big verbal confession, but
like they did using their own brand of communicating, which is
a hot mess cuz they're kind of a hot mess.
Is that fair to say? I think that is great.
It's fair. This is they're brand of I
choose you, you're what I want, OK.
Yeah, they just don't know how to say it straight up.
Or when they do, the other person doesn't believe them, and
so then they're afraid to say it.
You know what I mean? They're trapped in this weird
pattern with each other. So yes, Sasha sets up this whole
thing so that Goria can, like, actually express her and be
like, I choose you, too. Yeah, anyway, so then they go to
this whole thing and then the way Goria chooses Sasha I think
is parallels the first time she came here, right?
The first time she came here and was like the friends with
benefits thing. They had this like passionate
kiss at the door that just ends up being sex later.
And then this is the opposite of that because again, they're at
the emotional connection stage now, right.
So the kiss that Goria does here, because Goria initiates
this. I mean, she initiated the first
guess, but still, this is more of a like I'm telling you how I
feel versus a like, Take Me Home with you, because that was the
first their very first kiss was like, I need to I you're my type
tonight. Let's go.
This is AI choose you on an emotional level kind of thing.
So Goria does like very intimate things where she like touches
Sasha's face and then like puts her hands around her neck and
like it's slow. And Goria, if you compare this
to the crystal scene, is much more like has feelings in that
you can tell she's having, she like closes her eyes, she
participates like, and then like again, walks into Sasha's place
like she owns it because she basically does at this point.
And then we hard cut essentially from that from then we kind of
leapfrog over their evening together.
And then it's the next day, it's daytime, and they're wearing
robes, sitting on the floor talking.
And I want to note that Sasha already had a robe for Gloria.
Like they haven't been sleeping together for a while.
And it's Sasha. You always see her in the white
robe. The 1 Gloria's wearing fits
Gloria and they are different sizes.
So like she got one that's Gloria sized for Gloria.
It's already ready. So that tells you a lot about
that. The other thing I like about
this scene that's really subtle is that they're eating ice cream
in the morning. So if you go back to like when
they they do the friends of benefit things and the first
time they have like breakfast together when Sasha's like, OK,
but the friends part and they do the thing where they're like,
here's 20 play 20 questions, tell me about yourself kind of
thing before that starts when they're at the breakfast table,
the in that scene, the camera pans over the table and it shows
you what Sasha's breakfast looks like.
And gory makes the comment, it must be really hard to be a
model because all you're allowed to eat is healthy food.
You're not allowed to have sweets.
And Sasha flirts back with that. But the key there is, is that
Sasha as a model, again, she's been acting since she was 8.
She's not allowed to really indulge in like things with
sugar in them. OK, But here she is with gory
eating ice cream out of the pint container.
OK, So to me, that was a good. That was a way to show that,
like, Sasha is like free when she's with Gloria.
And Sasha is like fully herself giving in to what she wants.
Not like what mom wants, what her manager wants, what her fans
want. Basically, what does the
entertainment industry force her to be?
This is Sasha, the human being, being Sasha with Gloria.
So everybody's fully unguarded in this scene.
OK, We finally get there in the morning.
OK, Because they're dumb, but I like that little detail that
they're eating ice cream. Sasha's not really allowed to
eat that as a model, but here she is.
She doesn't have a manager breathing that she gets to be
free. She's never been free.
And like, Gory is the one that lets her be free.
I think that's really significant, knowing Sasha.
That really is yeah. Yeah, I didn't catch that.
It's very, very cute. OK.
And then this conversation is probably their most direct
conversation ever, ever because they're talking about their
relationship, essentially. And so Sasha asks like, why did
you choose me? And what I found really
interesting about this conversation is that when
they're talking basically, like Sasha's like, OK, like Gory's
like, I don't know you're. I know you.
I don't know Crystal. Also, she's my type, so it made
it hard. Then you find out that Goria
likes women with short hair. I love.
That they're just like, I'll just cut it right now, like.
I'll cut it right now and then Gory's like don't do that.
So I don't know if Gory's being truthful or not because Sasha's
like I'll do it and then Gory's like don't do it.
Also like, is she for real? Because Prim never had short
hair. That's true.
I was. Like is she for real and she's
just beating Sasha to make her jealous or does she actually
like sure. I can't tell with Goria because
like. Again and like.
Play the games. I couldn't tell if they were
like literally going to cut her hair because I'm also like,
doesn't she have projects coming up?
Like, don't they need to be notified about?
Any changes? Isn't her hair insured?
Like, you know, as a model she would though.
She'd be like fuck that shit. She doesn't give a shit about
modelling anymore, she's just Gloria.
Yeah, that's true. She has enough money to retire.
She put that shit in the stock market, She's fine.
Anyway, yeah, I thought that was funny.
So I was like, I'll cut it right now, but OK.
So anyway, then they then they talk about like, why did you
choose me? And basically they start talking
about, they go back to the theme, which is like, it's hard.
It's not about having somebody. It's about having the right
person kind of thing. And Goria talks about like how
hard it can be to find a person that meets your whole criteria,
which is so real, especially in queer dating spaces because the
dating pool of people is even smaller, just like in the world.
And then depending on where you live, it can be even smaller.
Like if you live in a rural area, you're a number of people
around is small, and then queer people's really small, right?
So it can be so hard to find like somebody that meets all of
your criteria. So I wonder if like Goria is
saying that is like I, I wonder if she feels like she's settled
for people before or people have settled for her.
She feels like they settled for her because it's hard to find
the right person. So I wonder if that was
revealing of other stuff, her trauma kind of thing, which is
that's real. That's I I get that.
That's that's life. Life sucks.
Perfection doesn't exist. But apparently Sasha found it so
good for you girl. So then OK, so then they start
talking about like what's your like?
Like why'd you like what? What?
Because then she's basically like Sasha, I don't even really,
you're not even my type. And then Sasha's like well why
did you what do you like about me?
Like I love that. She asks.
She asks what's interesting about this conversation.
Sasha asks what do you like about me?
And then Gory replies with what don't you like about me.
So again, it's indicative of their head spaces.
Like Sasha's more looking at the positive because Goria is like,
I hate most things about you. So then she's like, OK, what do
you like about me? That's the positive here.
And then Goria is like, what? Goria, I think thinks negatively
about herself. She's like, what don't you like
about me? And Sasha says nothing, nothing.
And then she's like, I, which we called it, I liked you from the
first time I met you, which was that whole photographer.
And the way gory immediately is like, oh, my God.
And goes off about that and then.
Yeah. And calls.
He was awful. Yeah.
The way she goes off and then Sasha's like this, This is why I
like you. And then she says, the more I
get to know you, the more I like you.
Like you're the perfect girlfriend to be.
And that that shuts Gloria up. That is just that's like the
wow, like because I don't think Gloria ever thought she'd find
somebody who thought about it that way.
I think she puts up a lot of fronts and it's like, yeah, I'm
awesome, I'm great. I don't care.
She says that, but she does care and I think is hurt, you know,
and then here's Sasha being like, no, like I like everything
about you. Like honestly here, here's the
reason why I like you. It has nothing to do with
because she asked her the very the first time they she goes to
Sasha's place, She's like, why do you keep chasing me?
So she's like, I'm into your looks, you're hot.
And then but here's Sasha being like, no, I really the reason I
like you is this because of who you are.
Like, that's why I like you. So I love that.
And then Gloria's confession, which again, her kink is arguing
and she's just like, you've riled me up.
That's why I like, she's more like passion driven.
She's just like, you make me want to punch you because you
make me passion. Because Goria is a fighter.
And Sasha's like, OK, all I do is joke with you.
And she's like, yeah, I know I'm into it.
And then that's kind of how they end this, which is really cute
with the whole like, I'll go cut my hair right now.
And she's like, Gary's like don't you dare.
And she's like, don't you have a stylist?
She's like, well, you know, I'll take you to the hairdresser.
She's like, I don't got time. She's like, I will find time in
your schedule to go do this. They start fighting.
They're so cute. They're so funny.
So yeah, I think that that was the most direct conversation
that they've had where they were actually talking about stuff.
So I think that I don't think that I think that we will get a
verbal love confession of some sort from them.
It just wasn't going to happen now because they they needed to
bury the game that they were trapped in and like start a new
game where like we're communicating and joking and
we're on the same page about the jokes kind of thing.
So I think it will happen. It just wasn't going to happen
in this episode because they're dumb as my hot take.
And if you're and if you're upset about that, I get it.
It's just that we're conditioned from romance stories to expect
the third act like the reconciliation to be this like
love confection and this like passionate thing.
But it's like this is a backward story.
It was it wasn't going to it's going to subvert your
expectations because it's already their beats are
different than a romance. It's close.
It's closest of all the plot lines here, but it's not the
same. So like it's not going to be the
same beat by beat kind of thing. But I don't I wouldn't rule one
out. Other thing I liked about that
scene, just to kind of end it with them is like they did they
again subverting your expectation.
They did the ice cream thing where at the end Goria feeds her
the ice cream and then Sasha is the one that wipes her own lips.
Because in a romance story, what would have happened normally?
Goria would have wiped it away and then probably licked your.
Thumb, right? So we don't get that.
We get eye contact. Sasha's the one that because
again, they're like, this is not your typical romance.
All right, that's what I got for this episode.
Shall we transition into predictions for Episode 10?
Let's do it. All right, so let's just go A
plot, B plot, C plot. So a plot makes me nervous.
Basically, yeah. Oh my God, no aid.
I don't like this. I can't live without you.
You never have to live without me.
Bambi's going to the hospital. I just can just.
It's going to have. I just.
It's going to happen. It's going to happen.
I'm worried but like. Is something going to happen to
Prim for Bambi to be like, Oh my God, something's going to happen
to her? Like what if there's like a
thing where like she thinks she's dead and then no.
I I mean, maybe I don't think so.
I think it's like the last thing we get is the therapist saying
Bambi says she doesn't want to be a burden to anybody.
So I wonder if she's still in her deep, dark place and thinks
that she's a burden to Prim because Prim, what's Prim going
to do? Prim's going to ditch her job to
hang out, to take care of Bambi. And I think that's going to make
Bambi guilty. I think it's self harm on
Bambi's end is what's going to happen.
I don't think anything's having a Prim, but I think that, yeah,
I think that's where that. Is in the therapist scene, like
when we get the close up of Bambi, the footage becomes a bit
blurry and it looks like Bambi's dissociating for some reason.
Yeah, so right. There's definitely something
going on in that therapy session, but kudos to her for
going back to therapy. And talking about something.
Reals, you're not OK. Yeah, I, I mean, I hope I don't
know what they're talking about, but yeah, no, I, I'm worried
about Bambi's self harming. I've been worried about that to
the beginning, especially 'cause they're talking about death her
and like somebody's going down and I think it's Bambi, yeah.
But probably not for good. Yeah, I mean, I hope not, but
yeah, I think, I think baby's coming up at the hospital at
some point. And Prim, again, kudos to Prim
for finally doing again. This is a parallel scene to her,
you know, Bambi's birthday where she's like, I can't leave work
even though it's your birthday and drop everything.
But now Prim is in a position where she can do that.
Yeah. Well, she's like, because they
were basically talking about some project in Phuket where
they have to leave Bangkok. And basically Prim's like, I
can't leave Bambi right now, so I'm not going min take care of
it. And she stays with Bambi.
So she's doing what she couldn't do all when she they were in
college. So that's big of Prim's
learning. She's not 100% great, but no
one's 100% great. So she's she's learning and
she's staying with Bambi. So that's good.
So I think that's where we get all those scenes of them being
cute because Prim's trying to make Bambi happy the only way
she knows how. Just I really believe Bambi
needs help beyond Prim and it's going to.
This is going to keep spiraling out of control until Bambi hits
rock bottom basically and gets intensive care basically in a
hospital is my guess. Yes, she really needs that.
All right, anything else with the A plot?
We didn't see Aries. So does Aries still work at
Prints Company and from Fire? I hope that areas like my job is
done, I can leave I. Here's my.
She also is like I kind of need a job prim can I stay right?
This is weird, but also. Like, yeah, I would be really
interested to see if if she shows up again, actually, I see
the C plot because the C plot goes with the A plot.
So basically Prim is going to leave work, leaves men in
charge. That's why I think like she's
going to need a director and it's probably going to put Bipor
in charge of whatever this is because Bipor is there.
They're all going to, they're going to go to Phuket.
I assume that's where the B plot comes in too.
But think, think about the C plot that I noticed is that
there's a quick scene with because men in Prow are doing
great. So great in fact, that Men
kisses Prow at work. That happens.
They're by the sink where the ladybird presser is and she
kisses Prow. So I think we're getting closer
to them. Come they're them coming out of
the closet kind of deal cuz like it is starting to slip up at
work. So that's significant for them.
And then cuz all their dialogue was basically like, I love you.
I love you too without saying that word.
But I think that's where that's what's going on there.
And then B plot. I wonder if like, whatever this
is in Phuket involves Sasha and so she like gets a villa and
like takes Gloria and they're basically they're romantically
dating now. They're romantically dating
because we're going to combine the passion of the friends with
benefits things with the emotional attachment they now
have and they're going to date for real.
And again, this is more evidence, I think that Sasha
knows that Gloria likes grand gestures, like cosplaying Nanny
Hill scenes and like setting up the, the leading lady has to
choose her love interest kind of things.
So she's like doing all these romantic things for Gloria,
which is really cute because I think she knows Gloria likes
that. Which is it's definitely like
I'm waiting for her to do the boom box thing.
Like if they if they do have like an on the outs, like she's
going to be under her window, she would the boom box.
She definitely would probably also have signs that she has to
read. And now I'm just like fan
fictioning and like Goria's in the room be like, I can't even
read it. What does that say?
My God. Should be.
Maybe. Then they end up yelling at each
other across the lawn. That would be them.
Yeah. No, that's them.
That is them 100%. So B plot's going to be real
cute. They're going to date for real.
I think we'll also get like for people who are like, we might
get like, I don't know, sexy scenes with them.
We might get some kind of a love confession thing because I think
we're going to get the combination of the friends with
benefits and like the, the emotional stuff with them.
So I think we're going to get a mixture of scenes with them
going forward that because they're complete and all kind of
thing. And so I think they're going to
continue getting cute until eventually we get like a love
confession for real. Yeah.
Because again, they're dumb and they're learning.
But in in the in the previews, Goria looks a lot very unguarded
and so does Sasha. So like, I think they're headed
in the right direction. And I'm very excited to see them
try to date because they're both so dumb.
Like, I'm really excited to see them try to date.
They're just dumb. So yeah.
So basically A plot, B plot, B plot, C plot are cute.
While the A plot gets dark, the A plot's going to get dark.
Super dark. They're like, we need to liven
this up with the other two. That's what I mean.
They're trying to make a balance, right?
Because they can't all hit rock bottom at the same time.
They had to like. Pace it out.
I mean, they could. That is life.
We all in episode 9 hit rock bottom.
That's not life. It happens in unpredictably, but
anyway, any other things for you about episode 10?
No, I'm excited for it. Yeah, I'm scared for it.
Scared for Bambi? I'm I have all the emotions for
it. Do you think Crystal and Bipolar
will be dating by the end of episode 10?
Maybe 11, Maybe they'll be like, yeah, probably 11, but they'll
probably be like a hinting more. I hope so.
It'll be closer in episode time. That's what I'm hoping.
I'm just hoping we get more bipor.
She's adorable. Yeah, I got a lot of crystal, so
give us some bipor and then put them.
Together I know we need more bipor.
We need more BIPOR. I think we're gonna get more
like prims abdicating director position.
That's what I'm hoping. So let's manifest that.
All right, let us know what you thought of episode 9.
