It starts at their first encounter in the prison. You can see Vis surprise (at least I see it this way) when the noises of the guard disappear and just the young enforcer remains to take her with her. You can hear the music change in this moment from dark foreboding to a lighter, more positive mood, when she sees Caitlyn for the first time without any bars between them. And Caitlyns look lingers on Vi for several seconds, too. In the brothel it becomes quiet obvious, especially when the leaving Vi sees how much more comfortable Caitlyn around women is. And at the end of the epsiode they're downright flirting with each other. Despite the differences in their upbringings, they're very similar at heart and complete each other. I love love love their chemistry. ๐ Caitlyns awkward Mathilda-monologue was the most adorable and funny moment in the show so far. ๐ I love how Caitlyn crosses lines all the time: Figuratively when she talks to Jayce even though her parents forbade her to do so, when she investigates the attack at the hexgate even though she was on duty to guard her mothers tent at the fair and when she goes to Stillwater Hold Prison to investigate further even though she is not an enforcer anymore. Oh and when she forges Jayce signature and uses his position to get Vi out of prison. Literally she crosses a line when she crosses the red line to get closer to Vi's cell. Marcus is trapped in a relationship he can't get out of, unless he is willing to put his daughter's or his own life in danger. He didn't sacrifice himself with the grenade, because then his daughter would be alone in the world. You noticed from the picture on his desk, that his daughter painted, that mommy is up in heaven. ๐๐ญ His situation is of his own making, so I don't feel much pity for him, but I feel really sorry for his little daughter, who is completely innocent, but will suffer the most when her fathers decisions come crushing back on him. The fight between Sevika and Vi is easily one of the best fight scenes I ever saw in movies or tv shows, animated or live action. The animators must have studied lots of boxing and mma fights, because every little detail is so believable and real. Both of them fight according to their characters: Vi angry and impatient, Sevika more controlled and aware of her defense. Vi got the upper hand because years and years of pent up hate and anger wanted out. And she was used to beat up people and getting beaten up all the time in prison. In the end, Vi looses because Sevika discovered and used her weak point, Powder. ๐ค Some details I noticed: - Caitlyn deliberately only shoots at Sevikas shimmer arm to destroy it and so to keep her from killing Vi, she doesn't kill if it's not necessary. You can see all three holes in the shoulder joint. - The new "Last Drop" has Silcos symbol, an eye, over the entrance. - Mel with open hair on her bed: ๐ - When Vi starts her parcours down to the undercity, after running down the sloped pipe, you can see her look back up to Caitlyn and smile for a brief moment, when she sees that Caitlyn follows her. - The shot of Vi jumping in front of the beautiful wall painting of a woman is the most beautiful shot of this show so far - in a show that is filled with beautiful shots ๐คฉ - When the guy with the red jacket starts to mess with Vi I literally thought: "Dude, look at her muscles and her confidence, don't mess with this woman!" ๐คฃ - We see this guy again later during the Imagine Dragons cameo: He sits behind the drummer, clad only in his shirt, inhaling Shimmer and probably commiserating the loss of his jacket...๐ - The Imagine Dragons cameo wasn't the only one in this episode: The violinist on stage is a depiction of Ray Chen, the violinist who recorded substantial parts of the soundtrack of this show ๐ป - I love the concert scene. The on-stage performance is so beautiful an detailed done. It also shows perfectly, how detached Heimerdinger is from the council - and from the real world for the most part. He has no idea (or doesn't care) what is going on around him. He thoroughly enjoys the concert, while everyone else is making deals. They know he as the founding father and a very old (probably immortal?) being isn't easily corrupted, so they just leave him out of all this. Sorry this got a bit long, I hope I didn't annoy you, I just like this show (and talking about it) so much. Just as your reactions to it. ๐๐ ๐
