Of course there is. Why wouldn't we wouldn't be here
if there was a trauma to get through.

(01:10):
OK, so just a few quick Pluto related announcements.

Enjoy. It's just it's a Pluto Y time
over there yeah, GMO TV is serious about their copyright
stuff on YouTube. They're real serious, so it's

(02:36):
hard to get episodes on there. So anyway, all right, Speaking
of YouTube, so before we drive into the episode, there's one
comment I want to bring up for one of our fairly long time
listeners, Snakes not Eyes. Thank you for always giving us
your insight into everything, especially the Thai girl of
shows like your insight and opinions are super valuable,

(02:58):
period. OK, this listener left this on
one one of our US episodes. I think that just came out
recently, but it's applicable now and I just wanted to bring
it up. So thank you.
Shout out to you. So here's the listener said I've
been thinking about all these Thai series serieses and I think
it's interesting slash significant that the vast
majority have AC plot of one of their characters families being

(03:22):
specifically dysfunctional or broken because the protagonist
and parental figure don't understand each other.
I and me mom. That's why I'm bringing it up
now. And the resolution of the main
storyline involves a reunification and strengthening
of the family unit through mutual cross, generational
understanding and the promise ofbetter communication.
Dang, Thailand, while being politically progressive when it

(03:45):
comes to career rights, is stillin parentheses according to Thai
people. Very conservative in many ways.
That combination makes me refocus that these are Thai
stories. Maybe what it maybe what that
means is reinforcing the family dynamic in order to have these
stories told to wider audiences.I also think that Buddhism and
karma play a really big role in what we perceive to be an

(04:08):
undeserved happy ending. This is also way longer than I
wanted, which is every part of the post anyway.
I remember. Reading this, I'm like, no,
don't, don't feel like it's too long.
Keep going. We want to hear everything.
Have you heard the. I mean, obviously you've heard
the podcast. Just keep going.

(04:29):
Yeah. No, this is your target audience
for really big opinions. All right.
Any thoughts on that, Caitlin? I thought it was relevant to
Pluto and just in general. No, it's really relevant to
every single show. I can't really think of anything
off the top of my head that it'snot relevant to because even

(04:51):
like 23.5, it's not like the generations, but like even the
family still get stronger at theend.
Yeah. I just, I like the part that
Snakes on Eyes is trying to, like, bring up, which is that
like, these are Thai stories. You have to remember that
because like, yeah, like we are,we acknowledge that we are not
of the Thai culture. We grew up in America.

(05:11):
So like our lenses vary through the American experience, for
better or worse. So thank you for that, bringing
that up. Like these are Thai stories.
Karma is. Yeah.
Karma I forget about because that's not super on my mind all
the time. So like I appreciate you
bringing that up just to be like, hey, when you're watching
this, remember like the culture is relevant and perhaps there is

(05:35):
a, there is a move to shift the lens a little bit so it is
applicable to a wider audience potentially since there is an
international audience out therethat is reachable not just like
not just America, but like just like throughout the Asian
continent too, that perhaps likeif you dilute your culture to

(05:57):
make it more widely applicable that you'll get a bigger
audience globally. So like that could be going on
within the studios. Like I mean in America it's
always like that they're like, how do we reach the most generic
audience possible? Cuz money.
So maybe that could be playing into certain.
Maybe perhaps the way GMMTV adapts things too, they make it

(06:19):
more like you can identify, identify, but like connect even
if you're not of the culture because of how they kind of like
adapt things. So maybe that's why you respond
to GMMTV, how it they also format it and change things to
make sure like the entire familycan watch it too.
So they're really trying to get as the widest audience possible.

(06:42):
But that is such a good point that like the C plot does have
to do with the family dynamic because family is really
important in many, many culturesand and Thai cultures included.
And it yeah, I like the I like the insight that like
communication is usually the theanswer to what's going on there.
So like, this is such an insightful comment.

(07:03):
I just want to throw that out there.
Thank you Snakes Out of Eyes forall of your participation.
Thank you for telling us. Hey, refocus.
These are Thai stories. I appreciate that as well.
Yeah. I mean, it's very easy for us to
forget that. And we do try to rein ourselves
back in and feel like it is Thailand.
We do know that there are aspects that we don't not we

(07:26):
don't understand. We just we can't live that part
of their culture. So thank you any, anytime you
anybody listening want to let usknow what is actually going on.
Feel free to tell us that what we're saying is wrong in a nice
way and it we're very easily to be open minded or open minded.

(07:51):
That's what I was looking for. Yes.
Our life experiences skew how we're going to view things.
So thank you for bringing that perspective back to the podcast.
All right, and with that, let's dive into Part 1 of episode 2 of
Pluto. So this episode we're going
back. So we do a flashback when I and

(08:14):
Umm are a little the little babyactors.
Little baby I and Umm show up again.
I just want to say I love them. I love these little actors.
First of all, they're adorable. They are, but they also they're
a really a substantial part of the show.
They get quite a few scenes theydo.
And we also don't know anything about the sisters relationship.

(08:37):
So they have this big role of showcasing this relationship
when UMM is not able to, you know, talk right now because
she's in a coma. So not only are they showing us
their relationship, but the little Oom actress is showing us
everything we know about Oom. That's a lot to put on a child.

(08:57):
That's a really good point that the most dialogue we get from
Oom for a while is the child Oom.
That's a really good point. Well, because like this is the
it's because this is the Oom eyeknows and we're this is all eyes
journal entries, which is that'strue.
So it's still skewed. Absolutely.
It's not actually what we get it.

(09:20):
We get. OOM later.
And it's why I have so many unresolved feelings about OOM
because we're seeing OOM througheyes perspective, yes.
See, not only in this show are we really have to keep in mind
the culture and differences likethat, but now we have to keep

(09:41):
track of whose point of view we're in, especially later in
the show. Right now we are fully in I's
point of view. OK, so I is telling us through
her journal entry a time when she was little and her mother is
reading her a bedtime story. And UMM is absent from this
reading because UMM is sick in the hospital.

(10:04):
And we enter the scene when Mom is reading the line and the
Prince and Princess lived happily ever after, which this
episode is like the theme of fairy tale, basically.
And I I thought this was an interesting memory because
remember, this is I's journal. So I remembers this moment.
And I think it's really interesting that this is the

(10:24):
story bedtime story she's remembering because later on
she's in this episode, she's going to start calling Mae her
Princess and all this stuff. And the novel she ends up
creating at the end is about a Prince and a Princess.
And it's like the stand in for her in May.
So I think it's it's really interesting that like this is
the story she remembers as a kid.

(10:45):
I mean, she was always just trying to escape maybe just once
that fairy tale life. I think that I just always had a
really creative brain and it just she didn't realize it.
That's true, but that's a good point.
Escapism because like what what's going on here?
Her her response to the story isreally interesting and and

(11:06):
revealing because mom finishes reading she's like, oh ah,
you're still awake you're supposed to fucking fall asleep.
That's why I read this story andI was like, well I wish that I'm
sad because I wish umm was here to hear the story with me so I
think this is really telling because at this point I misses
her sister and just wishes her sister was here It's not about

(11:28):
the story. She just wishes her sister was
here to hear the story with her and it's again it's about a
Prince and Princess which later becomes I in May.
And like again, UMM is third Wheeling the whole time.
Like poor, Umm, you know, poor. Umm.
I seriously more UMM, I love UMM, I feel so bad for UMM but

(11:53):
this the whole this whole scene with with I and the the Prince
and Princess stories just admit and the way she's it's not about
the story, it's about that she wishes her sister was with her
to hear the story. It makes me wonder if part of
the reason that I love stories so much because at this time I
really loved stories and that's something UMM confirms later.

(12:14):
And I wonder if I loved it because she's like it was a way
to bond with UMM because the thing she's like I just wish UMM
was here. It's not about I don't care
about the story. I wish my sister was here.
So it's almost reads the scene that I doesn't enjoy the stories
as much when she doesn't have someone to share it with.
And later on, like her love of like in the present, when we go

(12:35):
back to her and navigating the Doom shenanigans with May, her
loves, her love of novels is really rekindled because May
initiated it in the last episodewhere she used stories as a way
to bond with I. And then later on when we get an
Oom flashback, we learn that Oomliked stories only because I

(12:58):
liked them. So it's like stories become this
way that people bond with each other.
And I think that's beautiful because that is what
storytelling is like. Storytelling is a very human
thing that's been going on for thousands of years.
And and it is a way that humans bond with each other.
So I like the way that's woven into this, into Pluto.

(13:18):
Yeah, that's a really good point.
It's also another thing of if not if we both talked, like, we
could have probably found something else to bond over to.
But yeah, storytelling in general.
I mean, that's why we're here. This is how we bonded.
And this is how we're bonding with a lot of audience members,
too. And I mean, the media is

(13:39):
powerful. Yeah, I know the Chow's novel
brought us all together. Let's be honest.
Like, that's why we're here right now.
We are brought here today by Chow, by Chow Chow and her
novels. No, it's really, really true.
OK, so then after that scene, wecut over.
We're still in the flashback with little baby, little baby

(14:00):
twins. And then we cut over to the
hospital where UMM is and dad isthere watching over UMM, Mom
brings I they sidebar, they get no wines.
These people like it's just likethe parents are so unimportant.
Well, actually, mom read the read the the story, but dad gets
no wines. Like they were so unimportant at
GMMPV. They're like, no, you don't even
need lines. Do they have names who knows

(14:21):
that were spoken out loud? Did they pay these actors less?
That's all. I was going to break that up.
It's mom and dad. This is Disney, Mom and dad.
Yeah, it's Disney. This is Disney.
We're going to off them. So get a sash.
OK, so I tells us in the voice over, which is again, remember
voice overs for the most part are her journal entry.

(14:41):
She's telling us that UMM has spent her entire life in and out
of the hospital. And we don't know why UMM was
ill exactly. It's not super explained, but I
imagine that UMM had some kind of like chronic ailment where
she would cycle in and out of like good health, bad health.
So that's why she was like in and out of the hospital.
But what? But that aside, what this is

(15:04):
establishing is that UMM was quote, like the weaker sibling
because of this ailment she was living with.
And therefore she needed more support because of that from
both her parents who are doing these like, trading shifts at
the hospital and her big sister,right.
And to eyes credit, like even when she was young, because this

(15:25):
is baby eye like without any kind of complaint or resentment,
she willingly adopts the role ofsupportive older sister for
room. Yeah, I think definitely from
having to be there for her sister growing up that had just
rooted her need to take care of others and make sure they're OK

(15:51):
before her. I and this, I know this is going
to be like a skewed viewpoint, but I in my experience, I've
always heard parents and adults say like, make sure you take
care of your sibling, like help them and do this.
You're going to do all this for them.
So I wonder if she was kind of pushed into that slightly, like

(16:14):
not like you have to do this forher, but then she just took on
that responsibility. And then it could also be that
she was shown praise from that and respect at maybe from like
the grandma or something like that, where it caused her to
subconsciously keep chasing thatapproval from those people, so

(16:40):
from like parents or grandma. And that just reinforced her
need to take care of people evenmore.
Yeah, definitely. This seems like it was a very
formative time for I because that's partially why she
remembers it so vividly. And this like, seems to be at
least these flashbacks seems to.It's kind of explain how you get

(17:02):
adult I in her personality. So I think that's all super
valid, what you said. What's also interesting because
especially at this age, you remember things vividly.
But I know some of my stuff thatI remember vividly was dreams
that I had at this age too. So like, that's like another, we
won't get into it, but like, it's like, how much is she

(17:23):
actually remembering? Or what has her brain made a
memory or a fantasy? Because as we'll come to see,
eye is a eye is a natural storyteller.
And she's pretty fantastical in her stories.
So it's possible that this is, you know, fabricated to a degree
because she's remembering it like 20 years later.

(17:46):
So very valid. OK, so all right, so we get this
sweet moment in the hospital with the family supporting UMM,
and then GMMTV decided to get the death roll going by taking
out I and Umm's parents in the next heartbeat.
Immediately, immediately, they're just like, hey, look at
how sweet this family is death. And it's not who you think.

(18:10):
It's not the person who was in the hospital.
Well, thank you first of all. But I guess the parents get to
go then. Yeah, parents are first of the
death roll. And so we shoot over to their
funeral where Baby Eye and UMM are huddled together crying.
And it's pretty significant how they're positioned.
So like, UMM is leaning all of her weight onto I, and I has her

(18:32):
like arm wrapped protectively around UMM, showing what their
sibling bonding was like this atthis time.
Whereas I is the support system for UMM and like willing again,
willingly and not resentfully does that.
And because they're at a funeral, they're both wearing
black because that's the, the morning color and, and Thai
culture and pretty commonly in alot of cultures.

(18:55):
But I, I, I want to point out that they are wearing the same
color and I understand it's because it's a funeral and like
that's the color you wear at thefuneral, but which makes sense.
But like for I and UMM, they arevery consistently and
contrasting colors, like very consistently throughout the
season or throughout the series rather.
And and we never see them matching.
Their parents were not like the kinds were like let's match our

(19:16):
twins. Like no, the twins were always
opposite colors. And I think that if you, you
know, as we get into the scene, the scene is like really like
where the rift starts between UMM and I.
So I think that the fact that they're in the same colors adds
a layer to the scene that really, like, reinforces, like
this was the last moment where Iand UMM, were on the same page

(19:38):
before their sibling bond fractures.
And that perhaps is another reason I remembers it so
distinctly. That's plausible there.
It's also the same exact shirt. I mean, it's just a T-shirt, so.
Yeah. But still.
All right. And then.
And then the adults show that they're trash.
So some randos, why are they even at this funeral?

(20:00):
Some randos are at the funeral and they're loudly talking trash
about their family. And basically they're like,
well. The reason the parents died is
because of boom. Basically they're like they had
to take their sick child to the hospital or whatever the fuck
and like what the fuck was this?They're like loudly saying this

(20:21):
by the children in the funeral. Like, I'm sorry, not people, the
the little children even make sure to look at them.
How do you not notice these little children who are the
children of the people's funeralthat you're at?
Like, I feel like you'd be more in tune with, you know, the

(20:45):
children that are suffering right now because their parents
are dead. They're looking at the kids when
they're talking. It's not like they don't
recognize the kids are there. They look at them and give,
like, judgmental glares towards,umm, OK, yeah.
They're just trash. They're just trash humans.

(21:07):
And you know whose fault this is?
GMMTVS, because no parents die in this novel.
So they decided to give us this scene for extra trauma, OK.
OK, but. We do need to talk about
something else really quickly and that is the fact that they
say I heard the car was overturned while taking the

(21:28):
child, their child to the hospital.
So it makes it sound like UMM isin the car and I'm just confused
how the parents died. But UMM is sitting here and she
seems fine, mostly physically. And that is an amazing question
I do not know the answer to because this is made-up.

(21:52):
GMT made this up to get rid of the parents, basically cause
more trauma between the twins. Yeah, I know that's a great
question. It could be that like, I don't
know, something weird happened. Maybe like they smashed into
something. So the front, everybody in the
front was harmed. The back wasn't harmed in the
car. Or it could be that like the
translation is off and maybe they were on their way to see

(22:13):
UMM who was safely in the hospital, which seems unlike
well, maybe Grant Mima was therecuz like they they seem to
always leave somebody with her cuz she's a minor.
Yeah, maybe cuz I'm like maybe they followed an ambulance.
And again, only in my maybe experience, one person can be in
there. So maybe grandma was there too

(22:35):
and went and said parent and like the parents were following.
Yeah. But if anybody Ty speaking, can
just let us know if that translation is fully correct or
if there was like a gap there, that'd be great.
The gap. Yeah, just let us know.
Sorry, I knew I was going to getyou.
Yeah. Overtime.

(22:55):
OK, but here's let's go going back to the randos who are
loudly saying all this stuff while looking at Umm and I OK,
so I think that that gives us the next part of the scene,
which is the meemaw appears and then we get the seat because
this is eyes journal entry whereshe comes in and it's like, Oh

(23:16):
my God, umm, it's fine, it's totally fine.
Umm And she like pulls umm into her body and like basically rips
her away from eye because I and umm were like, you know, I was
holding on to Umm. And then grandma removes eye
from Umm's grasp and they let go.
And this eyes sad little voice over.
It's like today we let go of ourhands was like the turning point

(23:37):
of my life and that was it and this and that and like little
eye looks so dejected and traumaadvertised by this, the letting
go of her twin sister, which yes, sad.
And I think that this was totally inadvertent because I
think Meemaw overheard the randos being like, wow, umm, you
killed your parents. And so she comes in and she's

(23:57):
like, no, umm, it's not your fault.
Like I think that's what Meemaw was doing and that's why she was
so focused on umm and not I because like umm, heard these
randos being like you killed your parents.
So I think that's what happened in the scene.
But I missed all of that and wasjust like, wow, she took my
sister away from me and doesn't love me.
But I think that's not what Meemaw was trying to do.

(24:19):
I think she was like, fuck thoseadults.
How dare you say that in front of oh, like she should have
yelled at those motherfuckers. Oh my gosh, I wish you would
have just slapped them. Hit her with it.
There's a time you were too polite.
You need to slap more people. We're such Americans, we're
always advocating for those people.

(24:40):
I know the amount of episodes wehave like just slap them.
Just slap them at the telenovela.
They would also get slapped or like they would drink all that.
True, that is true. Something trip them by just
could you imagine Meemaw just like everybody's walking and
like just slightly puts out her foot and then they stumble.

(25:03):
That was super funny. I actually see that just
randomly. OK, but.
I just, I feel like Mima could have at least put a hand on Oom
just to be there for her to you mean I but yeah, I sorry.
But again, in Mima's defense as well, for this whole situation,

(25:25):
she is also grieving a child here.
Yeah, exactly. She also hasn't had to parent
children and so long and like doesn't know what like this will
be a defining moment for I you never know what a defining
moment in a child's life, which is terrifying when you're in

(25:45):
charge of children. But let's go back to when they
took their like they got separated in their hands because
little baby child I Oh my God, it's just looking at her hand.
That part broke me. It's so sad.
It is the the only comfort that she had in this moment was

(26:11):
taking care of her sister. Yes, so that was her like, oh,
that's my role, I have somethingto do right now.
And I'm sure that was part of a distraction for her.
Now she has nothing and she's just left without, like, cold,
because now she doesn't even have the warmth of, umm, leaning
against her. And it's so sad.

(26:33):
It's so sad. Yeah.
I just. I mean, I think that's why I
remembers this so vividly, because this was a defining
moment for her. This is when she started to feel
like the Pluto of the family, right?
She's there, but everyone forgets she's there.
Good job. Ciao.

(26:54):
And I think that the other part from I is like, this is really
the moment where she started down the path of self-reliance
because she saw that like grandma now or, you know, their
one living relative is solely there for umm.
I think that's what the message she got from this.
And she's like, oh shit. Like I'm on Maya.

(27:15):
Not only she just lost all of her parents, but like, yeah, now
her sister's being taken away from her.
So I is kind of being told indirectly like you're on your
own kid, like good luck, whatever, no hugs for you.
And so I think this is also whenthe seeds of envy.
For. OOM start planting an eye

(27:37):
because I is being denied what she wants most, which is love.
And it's all all of it is going to Oom.
And that's what's going to make the May stuff really complicated
because I is constantly like I feel this for me, but it's
really for Oom and all the love in her life has always been
directed at Oom. And like that resentment really
started parts here with the eye and Oom and like love from other

(28:02):
people basically. Also in a way it was I not
feeling like she was enough to take care of boom, because now
me in law had to come over and comfort her.
So she's like, oh, was I not doing it well enough?
That's true. There's so much going on there.
I know porn never know the eye how a child processes things

(28:24):
too. And we're not I'm not going to
get into Umm's perspective when it comes to the scene because
later we will get Umm's perspective on this whole scene.
So we'll just stick with meme onI for now and just move on with
the anything else about the scene before we move back to the
present. OK, cool.
So let's go back to the present.So if you all recall from the

(28:45):
last episode, which was 10 hoursago when we were recording this,
basically I slept over in May isby accident essentially.
And it's the morning after and she got that call from Jan.
And so she's out in the hallway and they had that conversation
where Jan's like, girl May is super suspicious.
Maybe she caused the car accident.

(29:07):
And so Jan explains in this scene that like, listen, I she
is like an unofficial detective and she's like, I was hanging
out. What was she doing?
She's like hanging out at the police station somewhere.
And she's like, I overheard the cops gossiping by the water
cooler. No, actually she was at the
funeral again, over like lingering with cops.
And basically the the police think that this could have been

(29:28):
an accident. I mean, this could have been
intentional and not purely accidental because there was a
phone call that happened and Paul's family is real hell bent
on keeping this thing quiet and everything just seems kind of
suspicious. OK, OK.
But people just need to shut up at funerals.

(29:50):
That's what we're getting. Literally, that's the whole
lesson of the episode. Like just shut up.
Why are we talking about stuff at a funeral?
You go there. Actually, you know what?
I have never been to a Thai funeral.
In my experience with funerals, you go there, you try to make
yourself feel better and comfortthe family, pay your respects

(30:13):
and get out. You don't sit there and be like,
oh, it was definitely this person's fault.
And you know, this could have all been avoided.
There's something nefarious here.
Oh, why are the cops so Willy nilly talking about the I guess
maybe they were talking to Meemaw and maybe that's what it
was because I was like, who are they talking to?
It had to be a family member. They were divulging this.

(30:35):
So maybe they were talking to Meemaw, but like the way that
funeral's not the place to have this conversation.
But you know, no, no, because the family members as well,
right? It just seems rude to me, Ma.
But again, this is all GMMTV's fault because there wouldn't be
a funeral if you stuck with the novel, which I'm glad you didn't

(30:57):
because you're GMMTV and you, you got this.
That's fine. We love you.
You got this. OK, so let's go back to Jan and
I. So Jan recruits I into this
investigation she's got going oninto Umm's accident and she's
like gives I an ultimatum basically.
And that's what gets I to participate where she's like
listen girl, if you don't come to the police station, you're

(31:18):
the worst big sister in the world.
And we all know that I cannot resist that and will never
abandoned her big sister duty. So that means she'll show up,
which is also a terrible threat.Like come on now.
Stop ruining eyes mental health every single time.

(31:38):
Listen, it's like Jan is Oom's paying or she's like, I'm ride
or die for OOM. I you're just here because I
need to help OOM. And that's so like, yeah, she's
more insensitive towards I. Come on, we're here for I right
now and we are here for I right now.

(31:59):
I mean, look at her. How could you not be so swoon
for ioon? That's what we say.
That's our motto on this podcastanyway.
So May emerges from the bedroom as I is wrapping up this phone
call with Jan. And then I not so smoothly

(32:20):
starts this like spy versus spy conversation where basically
they're both being suspicious ofeach other kind of in their
dialogue. And anyway, so May and I
basically both prod to see if the other one is lying about
something. That's what I mean by like spy
versus spy. Like, what are you hiding?
And I doesn't answer Mae directly because she's lying

(32:42):
about literally everything. So she doesn't like answer any
of Mae's questions really. She just like, is like, OK, Mae,
but what are you lying about? And Mae's first answer is like,
well, you caught me. I was going to have the maid
make breakfast and say that I did it as because I was trying
to impress you. Hold on, pause.
Because there is a huge cliffhanger here.
Just because just to get into the theme song.

(33:06):
And I just find that hilarious that they like, oh, yeah, yeah,
they have intense music. And then they're like, what is
she lying about? And her face falls very slowly,
like a job film, film like. And it increases the suspense
because her face falls from a smile to like, blankness very
slowly. And you're like, oh, God, what
is she lying about? And then you get the happy theme

(33:29):
music and we come back to makingbreakfast.
Yes. And then I is like, oh, thank
God they're going to say something nefarious, like I
don't know, you know, I'm I own or whatever.
And then after a beat, I was like, OK, but is this breakfast

(33:50):
thing the only thing you plannedto lie to me about?
It's the fact that she put planned in there gave May the
lawyer the legality to kind of say what she was going to say
next, because she answers in themost lawyer way possible by like
indirectly answering in a way that leads I to her own

(34:10):
conclusion versus like telling herself is a very big Nung
answer where she like says things about saying stuff and
she's like, think what you want.I'll just let you think that.
So may says, well, listen, I I can barely lie to you about
breakfast. So like, what do you think?
Do you think I'm lying to you about other stuff?
Because we who've seen we have seen the series, though May is

(34:33):
lying about so many things rightnow to I and she and she did
plan to lie and like did she plan to lie to eye not about
everything, but she easily couldtell I I know you're not.
Oh my goodness. See, but we don't do that
seriously. May here has all the power May

(34:54):
knows. Does like just put I out of her
misery? But I just.
I find the scene so scary because we see May being so good
at lying. Yes, yeah, that's the key take
away from this scene is that Maycan lie without any trace of

(35:18):
anything, whereas I is a terrible liar, like so bad at
it. It's what makes her a terrible
spy. And she like if May didn't know
she was I, she would have been outed so many times.
Like now what? Rewatching this, I was like, I
like especially later when we get the cousin, it's like I like
she is clearly not, but like it's it's kind of hard to trust

(35:45):
her because you don't know what she actually means.
She's extremely good at it. Yeah, for sure, for sure.
I mean, she's a lawyer. Her job is like play, you know,
playing loose with Fry, phrase things and that that's like her
profession. So I couldn't I could never do
it, but OK, so that part is likedisturbing is like just like how

(36:11):
easily Mae can lie and you have no and I has no idea.
But the sadder part too, is likethat how easily I accepts Mae's
response where she's like, I'm not and she's like, do you think
I'm lying? I and I was like, no.
And then she just like gets happy and smile and like pinches
Mae's nose like a child. Like it's really cute.
Like eyes response is very playful and adorable because we

(36:35):
don't see her be super playful with anybody and she does it
with with May and it's a very childlike and like pure and very
sweet when she does things like that.
She's very different when she's around May.
She's so much looser. We saw that in the last episode
at the around the pool where youjust saw not relief, but just

(36:58):
relaxation on her. She wasn't guarded, she's not
guarded around May and maybe youshould be a little more
considering you just met this person, but it's a pretty lady.
What are you supposed to do? She's a pretty lady that just
seems very unguarded about her feelings towards Oom, and I

(37:18):
think that that's the thing thatthrows off I because may just
throwing around all this love and I just like, I don't know, I
mean, and eyes always wanted this and she's like, I don't
know what to do with it and she can't like stay guarded around
that because she's so badly wants it.
And so it's easy for I to just like be like, OK, and just like
accept it because like she just wants it so badly and it's it's

(37:41):
sad. So like basically by the end of
the scene, So by the end of the scene, I has ping and jab being
like that girl is suspicious as fuck.
I like she's a murderer. We don't know, like she's
suspicious and then by the end of the scene because she's like,
Oh my God, you're adorable. I's brain is basically like
Janet paying her out of the line.
How could this angelic girl be evil?

(38:03):
Like I got her nose like that was so funny.
I'm like, was that damn, damn, just doing whatever, or was that
I? I do wonder if they're like, all
right, just be playful. And then I think it was just
damn. Damn, that wasn't I Anyway, so

(38:25):
they go have breakfast and then we shoot over to the police
station where we officially meetOfficer Hottie who is prim, but
we nicknamed her Officer Hottie because look at her.
OK, I'm going to be honest, we so I don't kind of forget how we
nicknamed her Officer Hottie. I know it was a play on Officer

(38:46):
Hot from why I known her becausethe uniform, you always gotta
love the uniform, but I completely did not know what her
name was. Even though it's like said in
here, but it's Officer Hottie. It is Officer Hottie.
So we're just going to refer to her as Officer Hottie going
forward. OK, so true to her word, Jan is

(39:09):
taking the UMM investigation into her own hands by trying to
cosplay as Umm's relative so that Officer Hadi will give her
at the incident report. This was so ballsy of Jan does
so many like ballsy things throughout this series where
it's like girl, you're a fortuneteller like what the fuck are
you doing breaking into police stations?

(39:29):
Like she's so ballsy. The confidence that she has to
have here half this shit too. Like, no confidence, No Fear of
embarrassment, No, like, just all in one track.
Yeah. She's so ride or die for UMM,
which like, makes me happy that UMM has somebody who's willing
to, like, literally break the law constantly on her behalf.

(39:52):
Like, that says a lot about their friendship because we
don't get a lot of their friendship.
But that speaks volumes based onJan's behavior because she's
doing this for UMM. Or maybe she wants to be a
detective. Who knows?
No, that's that's the spin off Officer Hottie and Jan,
Detective Jan is the detective in training.

(40:13):
No, I wanted the spin off where it's like the psychic and the
detective thing because she's a fortune teller.
Like she could use her powers tolike help solve mysteries like
that would be great. I'll starting that out there.
I would watch that. OK, so Officer Hottie, you get
the sense from the scene that she's somebody who follows the

(40:34):
rules very strictly. So she like calls out Jan for
like literally not being relatedto umm and she's like, you're
not getting this case file that's illegal.
But Jan is super undeterred because she's super psychic
detective and she's plays her whole hand where she's like,
listen girl, I know that the police got this real suspicious
number that they're investigating that called Paul

(40:56):
and umm, right? And that could have been a trap,
right? And this may not have been an
accident, right? Am I right?
And Officer Hadi kind of like doesn't say much, but she reacts
in a way that shows that like she's also suspecting that this
whole thing something that something weird happened with
Paul and Ohm. But it is also surprised that
this rando knows all this classified information.

(41:17):
She's like, why do you know this?
Because your Co workers don't shut up at funerals.
Literally it's your Co workers fault and James knows you as
fuck. So basically Jay gets nowhere
with officer hottie and then I shows up and it's like I'm
actually her fucking sister. Give me the God damn file bitch.
And I love the way I saunters into this room and then casually

(41:42):
like hands the ID to officer hottie and then proceeds to
stare down officer Hottie. The whole scene like this was so
unnecessary but and very entertaining to watch.
I do this power move with officer Hottie.
So I like get the sense that I as somebody who doesn't like

(42:03):
authority or cops face the way she behaves in the scene.
I feel like something happened with cops.
There was some incident with a friend group and well, I wonder
if it's like it goes back to like Ben's accident and the way
he got 0 justice and that made her hate that whole thing.
Authority going forward and likethe, you know, law and stuff and

(42:26):
lost respect for like poor authority.
But like damn, I why? Also when she pulls out the ID,
something that I brought up in the reaction video is that there
was a chip on it. So in America, what I know of,

(42:48):
we only have credit cards with chips right now and that's so we
can pay with things. So I'm like, why does their ID
have a chip? So I have learned that the, the
chip, so that card is a smart card and it houses their
fingerprints. And so you can verify your
identity a lot quicker through things.

(43:09):
So that's why there's a chip andit's like a very secure system
where you can't like skim it. If America had something, we'd
just be stealing identities leftand right.
That's why we have shitty IDs inAmerica.
But. Yeah, I just.
Scam country. I thought that was very
interesting that everything is on this ship there National ID.

(43:32):
Yeah. All right, so after officer ID,
Officer ID, Officer Hadi confirms that ID she's like, OK,
I guess you're I the three of them jump into the case file
because she's like, OK, now I can legally tell you because
you're the family member. So officer Hadi is like, listen,
the call you mentioned is super suspicious, but we don't have

(43:55):
any definitive evidence that this call is even related to the
car accident. Like scammers call all the time
and the amount of phone calls I get that are just nonsense
scammer calls is absurd. So like she's like, they could
have been that you don't we don't know.
We have to investigate more, hence the investigation.
And then I get super triggered by this answer and she starts

(44:17):
aggressively grilling Officer Hottie.
And I points out that she's like, but like, listen, it was
their wedding night and they left the house after this phone
call. So like, the phone call must
have been really important to get them out of the house.
And like, I, you have no idea, sweet summer child, but how

(44:39):
important that caller was. Seriously, it still could have
been anything. It literally could have been
anything. And that could have been super
unrelated. But I understand where I is like
worried about her sister grasping at straws.
But yeah, could have been literally nothing just once.
And as yeah, but as I is grilling her officer Howdy looks

(45:03):
super uncomfortable because I get the sense that she is
getting a little bit triggered that I is basically calling her
incompetent in this in this scenario.
Because. And that gets confirmed for me
because like then some male officer shows up and it takes
the file and was like, it was anaccident.
See ya. And then he like left, which was

(45:27):
super suspicious to me because like she's the family member.
You're supposed to tell her shitand he's not telling her
anything just like let it go. And then he leaves and I like
looks to Officer Hottie where she's like, explain officers who
was actually in charge of this case.
And Officer Hottie looks like a little shifty eyed.

(45:47):
And then we get crickets. Like no one says anything.
And if you look at Officer Hottie's body language, she's
like hangs her head low, like she looks defeated.
So I get the sense that she experiences workplace harassment
slash prejudice as one of the few, if not only female officers
in this precinct because we don't see any other female
officers. We only see all the men.

(46:09):
OK. And this man comes in as
basically like, don't listen to her.
This investigation's closed because I said so.
So. And he like explains everything
as it's been told before, like it was just an accident and all
that. But her face while he's saying
it, you can fully see that she does not believe what he's
saying. No, but she's not allowed to

(46:31):
speak her mind. Now, if this is Jen, she'd be
like, bullshit. Yeah.
And it's like she looks like she's being overruled.
Because if you look at the scene, we get this like, kind of
like wide shot of them where like I staring down the man that
shows up. Jan looks dejected.
Officer Hadi's got her head hanging low.
And then the officer, the man officer that comes in is

(46:51):
literally like his head's out offrame because he's towering over
all of them. He's like, he's the authority
figure here. Listen to me.
Because I said so kind of deal. So it makes Officer Hadi seem
really small in her, like, workplace.
And like when we jump into the team, she seems like somebody
who's really competent. She follows the rules.
She's doing all the things she'sbeing suspicious of suspicious
shit. And then here's this man who's

(47:12):
like, this investigation is overbecause I said so, like Officer
Hadi deserves better, is what I'm saying.
Was he one of the officers at the funeral?
And he's just like going back onanything.
He just doesn't want to deal with the paperwork.
Listen, that is a very plausible.

(47:34):
All right. So then Jan and I, dejected,
leave the police station. And Jan reasons with I that
Paul's listen, Paul's parents are powerful.
Like if there's something suspicious is going on, they
would insist on an investigation.
You're so close, Jan, because they're all so powerful.
So they probably would do whatever's in their power to

(47:55):
protect their family name if some shady shit went down also.
So like, let's remember that reputation's important in
prominent families, right? But I anti authority, I cannot
let this mystery phone call go. So luckily, amateur Detective

(48:15):
Jan is like, I caught the digitsfrom the case file.
For sure. That's illegal.
There we are. I love how, like, I kind of
assumes this, too. She's like, did you get the
number? You got it right, Jan.
You guys like, oh, yeah, I got you.
OK. Would I be Jan if I did it?
But they're both proving that they are terrible detective

(48:37):
slash spies because they make this phone call right outside
the police station. They sure do on probably camera
because there's probably cameraswatching them right now.
So yeah, I makes the call, Firstcall, no dice, nothing happened.
They're like, well, fuck. So they're at this point, Jan's
like, I still think it's May. So why don't we try and isolate

(48:58):
her and then call this number and see if her phone rings,
basically. So I at this stage is like, OK,
Jan, I agree. So I goes back home to then
start this mission. OK?
And then we get a scene where wehave to hydrate for lesbian
Jesus because that is the only reason the scene is here.

(49:20):
Everyone take a minute. Just take a, just take a minute.
You know I'll get whole minute though.
Just a moment, a moment of silence for lesbian Jesus cuz Oh
my God, the scene. So then it cuts to outside of
Mima shop where I is sitting on her motorcycle and putting on
her Jean jacket in slow motion, which is the most female gaze

(49:46):
thing ever. Because like the male gaze is
women taking off clothing and then female gaze is women
putting more clothing on in slowmotion.
We had that with Gentleman Jack,with so many other generals
where they're just like, why is this more attractive?
You're not wrong. I know.

(50:08):
I mean, it was great. It was so good.
Marvelous. It was, darling, it didn't.
It didn't play into the plot. It was there for my happiness
because this truly is the episode of I being unreasonably
attractive just by existing. Like that's the plot of this

(50:28):
episode. She does normal thing.
I mean, she really did exaggerate that putting on that
was just for herself. She just like flourish.
The whole that was so unnecessary.
That was just, it was so unnecessary, but it was
necessary for us. But I need to hydrate again for

(50:51):
that, damn it. I also also like, yeah, also her
walking into the police station also, and the way she did that
also unreasonably attractive. But during this scene we also
get this like low, the low angletilt again.
So she's like slightly tilted inthe frame.
And I'm just my theory now is that the low angle tilt is the

(51:14):
eye is determined to figure out what Mei is up to.
Frightening. Yeah, definitely could be.
Or she's just on a mission. She is on a mission.
So besides this scene existing for my entertainment, it exists
to show that I is shedding most of the UMM disguise before she
goes to see May. Because if you look at her,

(51:34):
she's putting on her clothing. Like last time she went she was
still wearing Umm's like fancy clothing.
She's full on Jean jacket eye with a T-shirt.
The only part of the UMM disguise she's actively wearing
is the ring. OK, that matching ring that May
never puts on only hours only eyes wearing it.

(51:56):
Props to her. She's making it to a whole
episode in clothing that she's not comfortable in, right?
It does not take long. It's hilarious.
It doesn't take long for her to shed the umm disguise, but it's
really starting here and it's starting to get super dramatic.
So again, I then I was like, allright, let's go mission time.
So she starts up the bike and then Meemaw comes out and this

(52:19):
whole scene happens because she's worried about I and I does
not clock that. So Nemo comes out and she's
like, I, why are you riding yourbike?
You can just take Umm's car because Umm's car is the safer
vehicle. First of all, that's why she's
saying it. But also like I, that's the
better disguise. Because seriously, if it was you

(52:39):
had access to it this entire damn time and you still chose
the motorcycle. Chose the bike.
Is it bad to drive a car? She's like, not trying to be Om
is kind of the thing I is. So I she can't really be Om.
I will say, though, in the novel, I was like the worst when
it came to this stuff because, yeah, Om had a car and who had

(53:01):
credit cards? And so I was just like, well,
you're in a coma, bitch. And basically took Om's credit
card, like wrecked up this credit card bill.
I was driving your car everywhere.
She's like, no, I'm be at home. That was so funny.
Let's see she's like protective of her sister at least like more
so in the show because this I would never do that.

(53:23):
Not like protective or like respectful of umm stuff like
later when she gets the laptop, she's like, sorry, but I really
need this. I'll give it back.
Not a novel. I was not like that.
She's like, because when umm wakes up out of the coma, she
gets her credit card bills and she's like, what the fuck are
these bills? And I just like, it does not
offer to pay back. Like it was terrible.

(53:46):
I was really bad in the novel. So yeah, this is a GMTV version
of I that I prefer who's like, no, she's like, listen, I don't
want to deal with all the headache because it's probably
like more gas money. Like there's practical reasons
why she probably wouldn't want to take the car.
And then she's like, something happens to what I owe him and
she's like, that's a headache. I don't want to owe him shit.
This is enough that I'm doing for.

(54:08):
So then I turned the engine on and then Mima keeps trying to
talk to her and she's like, well, where are you going?
Like, what do you do? Like, because she's worried
about I, but I, it is so like the engine drowns out I's
thoughts and she can't hear anything.
So she doesn't see that her grandmother is legitimately
worried about her, which is the thing I doesn't think Mima's

(54:28):
doing, you know, like caring forher.
So it just shows how like not onthe same page they are back to
what Snake Snake not I said it'sthe miscommunication between
these two because, like her grandmother loves her.
You can see it in the scene. She's worried about her, but I
doesn't see it as the problem. All right, so then I rides the
motorcycle all the way to May's house and this is the and parks

(54:51):
it outside the front door where there's cameras.
She's a terrible spy, but this is the first time she takes the
motorcycle to Maze, which is important to know and again,
parks it like there's garages. She parks it in front of the
front door where there's camerasproving that I is literally the

(55:14):
worst spy ever. Because again, if the maid was
soup was on the same page with Mae, she could have been like,
umm, just showed up on a motorcycle Mae, like you know
what I mean? The maid could have outed you so
many times, but it's already a long walk to get to me in there.
So you got to like pull up rightat the door, right.
This was ridiculous. I know she could have like hid

(55:36):
the motorcycle. There's she did not think of
high concealing her eye Ness in this scene.
She's just like whatever may can't see, but like girl, the
people around her can see you, but also like we talk about this
a lot too. She'll be able to hear, but I
don't think I has ever thought about the other senses.

(55:57):
Yeah, it's true because there's so many other identification
factors. Well, like, literally later in
the scene, she does not the scene in this episode, she does
not conceal the fact that she's riding a motorcycle today at
all. She just, like, gets on it and
turns it on in front of her. And it's like, girl.
Yeah, yeah. It's very possible.

(56:18):
She just doesn't think she can'tthink straight and that's OK.
That's why we're here. You know, maybe she just once
May to figure it out so she doesn't have to say it.
It's true subconsciously. Maybe she wants her to be like
you're not Omar you and be like,no, what are you going to do?
Like she's like nothing. That's what I wanted going back

(56:39):
and knowing that May knows that this is I is just like one of
you just say the truth so we canget this over because you're
both just well, no, May's waiting for I to tell her that
she is really I, not umm, that. And they think really what May
it's with the big thing with May, she's afraid.

(57:00):
Like yeah, she has I, which is the thing that she wanted, but
she can't see I, so she doesn't know if I is hanging around her
because she like feels bad for her or if she actually likes
her. So that's why May keeps trying
to test that with I because likeit's a big scary thing like
she's been waiting for her and then can't like fully experience
this because she lost her vision.

(57:22):
So I think she's afraid is is really what it is.
And then I but then I keep outing herself willingly.
So it's like anyway, OK, so other thing about this scene, I
uses the OOMS key card to get into the main gate.
So that's important because nobody is alerted to the fact
that she came here. So she didn't buzz the maid.

(57:42):
She just let herself in basically, which is important.
And also under their key in their relationship, umm and and
Mae like umm had a key to the house.
Like again, like what the fuck was their relationship?
They had engagement rings, a key, and then we learned the
relationship was like nothing. It's like weird that they had
all these things going on, but it's also weird that I found the

(58:06):
key card before and then still continue to not use it.
I know she's I and like not goodat this.
Umm, had a key card. Then you you don't think that
whatever. But when she uses the key card,
there's a little there's like a slight smile on her face that
she was just like happy that it worked.
This was so cute. She's like, yay, I'm a good

(58:30):
detective. Yeah, I'm a good detective.
I successfully got into the building.
And then you start like, it's too bad they don't have the
soundtrack to like mission possible to get the.
And then when mice like, breath the key cards like, like the
gate open. Yeah.
I mean we're about to have a hero moment so got to get that

(58:52):
soundtrack ready. Protective girlfriend.
I yet again. OK, so I makes her way through
the gate and then gets to the main entrance and upon entering
the door into the mansion, she hears glass shattering on the
floor and she whips around the corner and finds a strange man
who's got his arms out towards May.
And without thinking, this is what she sees.

(59:14):
She's strange, man. Broken glasses, puppies in
trouble. So without thinking, I runs into
the room and pushes the dude. Like Mandy holds this dude and
pushes him away from May and starts yelling at him.
She's like, who the fuck are youand why do you have your hands
on her? Get away from her.
Yeah, she may not be a great detective, but she is a great

(59:36):
protector. She is.
That was so effortless, the way that she just flew in there.
That was her instinct. She did not think.
She just acted. That was her instinct.
Was protect May. Like that was the instinct.
This man who's bigger than me, she just attacks him.
Well, yeah, she's not going to think about anything else.
There is just protect, May, protect.

(59:58):
And then you got to cue the songGrenade by Bruno Mars, because
this girl definitely would catcha grenade for May.
She absolutely would. On Day 2 of this, yes.
And then effort. I'm just picturing it right now.
She just catches it and just diffuses it with no effort
whatsoever. I don't know if you can diffuse

(01:00:19):
it, Grenade. I don't know anything, but I can
figure it out. Yeah.
With no knowledge whatsoever. No, none of that.
OK so when you know the full story, this is actually pretty
reminiscent of the first time I met May.
Like this is literally what happened the first time they met

(01:00:39):
May was being bullied and I without doing any context, shows
up and like gets the bullies away from May.
Only in this context, she knew who May was and was more
emotionally invested in the person being bullied versus just
being like, fuck you bullies. I'm looking for a fight.
You guys look like my type and then like beats them all up and

(01:01:00):
like she basically is doing the same thing.
So here's I 20 years later has not changed one bit.
The proof is right here. Thanks for pointing that out
because and and Mae's like, Oh yes, this is the this is
definitely I who I wish I could see this.
She is true to herself. She's into this I big time.

(01:01:24):
It is a crime. She can't say this because yes
ma'am, this is your fantasy. This is your first meeting
playing out yet again. However, it's a little bit
different. Instead of being some Brando's
at the schoolyard, the dude thatshe assaults is May's cousin,
Doctor Tom. And like that information comes

(01:01:45):
out and I was like, Ah, fuck. And he keeps appraising I
throughout this whole scene. Like you'll watch like not just
the scene, but the whole sequence of scenes that happens
where he keeps looking at her and like kind of sizing her up
and stuff because spoiler, he knows she's I and not boom.
And he this is ton meeting I legitimately for the first time.

(01:02:06):
And like when you watch the whole series, you realize that
Mae talks about IA lot and like,so this is him meeting I and she
assaults him. So that's interesting.
But like to protect May. So OK, he gets a sense of her
character in the scene, but being like, oh God, man, what
are you doing? So from his point of view, he's

(01:02:26):
like, OK, I is protective of May.
Like she did that again instinctively and that and I
assume May has told him the first time they met and where I
did the literal same thing. So he's like OK this must be I
cuz she's acting like the I may describe to me so that's legit.
Also he knows ooms at a coma cuzhe's a fucking doctor at the
same hospital so that's ton. But from eyes point here she's

(01:02:49):
like oh fuck I just assaulted her family member like fuck like
if I was oom dating her I would know this and I just like
assaulted him like he's a stranger.
So things get really awkward after that poor eye, like poor
eye. This looks like well fuck, how
do I I thought it was being a good spy.

(01:03:11):
I like got in with the key card and I was doing all these things
and then I assault her family member.
How the fuck do I get out of this?
Because this looks really bad asOm OK.
But like the other thing too is I think she was wearing more eye
friendly clothing because A she hates wearing oombs clothes and

(01:03:32):
B she's like well Mae can't see which is fair and then she comes
in and meets the family member who can see what she's wearing
and she's clearly not so she's like fuck Like seriously how do
I get out of this? This looks really bad.
But then May saves her because May is like May is having the

(01:03:53):
same thoughts. She's like fuck, I just like
probably completely blew her cover as OOM.
I didn't tell Todd about I was meeting I he's going to be like
what the fuck is this? Your OOM is in a coma.
So May is like also he might ruin the whole thing by saying
something, right? I'm getting somewhere with her.
I kissed her like all these things are happening and I was

(01:04:16):
like, well, you see, The thing is and I was like, Tom, This is
why I never showed you umm, thisis I was afraid this shit would
happen. So you are afraid that glass
would break and she, everybody looks confused.
Everybody's so confused. Tom's like really made this is

(01:04:37):
what you're going with. It's so funny because like I was
like, Oh my God, she's saving me.
Thank God with this lie because I had nothing.
And then Tan's like really made this is what we're if this is
what we're going with as the story.
This was so funny, but at least he goes with it.

(01:04:58):
He definitely goes with it. Like, you know, he's a good
sport. He's a he's made as ride or die.
Before we get to that, I I do want to point out that I does
apologize to Todd. So it does go to show that like
she's the type of person that iscapable of admitting when she's
wrong, which is a big character trait because, you know, not

(01:05:18):
everybody is easily capable of that.
So that that's speaks to I's character that a she's
protective of. Maybe she's like willing to
admit when she's wrong. But this was so funny.
The way me is like time. This is why you 2 have never met
because of this. And he's like, OK, OK.

(01:05:39):
And the fact that she can't evenlike give silent cues to him too
because she can't look him in the eye or anything.
He's just like, OK babe, that's the bullshit story you want to
go with. I'll roll with the bullshit.
So then he pivots the conversation.
Like the reason he's here is he's here to kind of surrogately

(01:06:00):
look after her in a way. And he takes her to doctor's
appointments and stuff. And he's like, OK, May, let's
talk about your family because also your dad sent me here
because we'll find out his back story later.
But he's partially here because of her dad as like the informant
on what's going on with May because we'll find out that May
and her family are not on no, nowebcam, no thumbs up.

(01:06:22):
They are not on speaking terms. If you're listening.
Tiara's love Cam does reaction sometimes depending on her hand
gestures. So they just give the thumbs up.
Just give a thumbs up. I didn't mean for that to happen
anyway. So he's like, listen mate, I'm
just really worried that you can't function outside of this

(01:06:42):
house and maybe not even inside the house because look at the
broken glass. Like, if I wasn't here, you
could have hurt yourself, it sounds like.
And then Mae gets pissed off andlike, defensive and she's like,
well, if somebody hadn't moved it from its usual spot, I
wouldn't have fucking knocked itover because I know everything
in this house. Like, like basically this house

(01:07:03):
is like her controlled little environment.
And so she can navigate really well without her sight because
she's designed it that way. There's like scented candles
that help her navigate. She's basically mapped, mentally
mapped the whole place. So when something is out of
place, she can't anticipate it necessarily.
And then so that's why he's like, girl, like the world
outside this mansion is not by your design.

(01:07:25):
So like, I'm worried that you'rehere by yourself and you need
somebody to like, take care of you outside of the house who can
take you out and look after you,but make it super defensive.
Because it's almost like he's reasserting to her that like,
she's limited because of her disability, whereas Mae worked
so hard to like, prove that she is not useless because she's

(01:07:51):
disabled. So it's almost like he's
throwing that in her face a little bit, which is fucked up.
It is. And her arguments here are
extremely valid. Because again, yeah, this is.
Her house and he is the reason that it broke in the 1st place.
So you can't use that argument when you're the reason that she

(01:08:13):
didn't know where it was. And like I get your but I get
like the you can't control the outside environment, but this is
the environment that you're using as the excuse and this is
her controlled environment. Exactly it is.
He's obviously not a lawyer likeshe is.
Yeah, I get that he means well and he genuinely cares about her

(01:08:37):
and is like kind of a ride or die for her.
But the way he comes off in this, in this whole scene is
that like he kind of puts her down while he's doing it.
And I don't know that that's intentional, but that's how it
reads. OK.
Because we're seeing this from eyes point of view, because then
the camera cuts to eye and eyes like, well, this is awkward that

(01:08:58):
I'm in the middle of this familydrama that I didn't mean to be
in the middle of. And she's like kind of getting
Privy information into May's life that May hasn't told her
about yet, which is like, she barely leaves this house now
that she's blind, even though she just went abroad.
And then and then he starts talking about May's family.

(01:09:20):
And that's where things get a little weird again, because he's
like, hey, you should just move back in with your parents
because then, quote, someone cantake care of you and take you
out into the real world and and take you to your doctor's
appointments and do all those kinds of things.
And then the in the same breath insults may by saying, well,
then if you were at home, you wouldn't be so obsessed with

(01:09:41):
this stupid international lawyerassociation.
This was the most fucked up thing that he says because she's
we, we come to see why she's doing this and how passionate
she is about this association that's trying to do good stuff
in the world. And then he shits all over it in
this conversation, which like dude, like this was so weird
coming from him. First of all, why is it a bad

(01:10:04):
thing for her to be obsessed with like just like it like she
wants to help people, right? Why is that a bad thing?
I don't know. Women aren't allowed to have
interests or act on behalf of themselves in that family,
apparently. I know this reeked of like, her
father and not him kind of in this conversation or like, maybe

(01:10:26):
his misogyny was showing. Yeah.
But also like, she's a fucking lawyer.
Like, why would it be weird for her to, like, get involved with
a lawyer association? Like that's the least.
Weird. Thing ever I know it's so not
weird, but I guess what he's saying he's like you're throwing
your you're obsessing over your job and not living your life
might be what he's trying to say, but it comes off as him

(01:10:47):
belittling and being, you know patronizing to her basically,
which that's the whole conversation.
Yeah is the whole conversation. And once he like hoax at the
lawyers association that I thinktriggers may also like the most
because then we cut like get like a wider shot and you see
may like start to reach back forI like for support like cuz she

(01:11:11):
was like by herself, like takinghim on when this conversation.
And then this is when she reaches for I.
And I do wonder if she did that because they're discussing her
family now and if that conversation is difficult for
her to have because there's a lot of bad blood with her
family. So meaning like this is a hard

(01:11:32):
conversation for May to have. So she's like, I need my
emotional support lesbian or if she was reaching for I because
she was afraid I is going to hear all this shit about her
family just like and like disappear because this is
actually truth about May that's coming out in this conversation
because all the conversations she's had with I were like coded

(01:11:55):
in layers of like umm and I stuff.
But this is a direct conversation about May.
That's like truthful informationabout May that's kind of out of
May's control because Tana's just saying stuff.
And like you said, she can't cueto him and be like, shut the
fuck up. He's just talking.
And so like, I was hearing all this shit about her.
And so I wonder if Mae's like, please don't leave me.

(01:12:15):
Please don't leave me. Yeah.
She'd up to this point, she's done a great job of not really
giving anything away. I'm like I But she doesn't give
up personal stuff about herself because, first of all, she's a
lawyer. She knows that anything you say
can and will be used against you, even in courts of love.
Yes, love, great job. See, that was beautiful.

(01:12:42):
Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
I also wonder now that you bringthat up that like if you think
about it, all the conversations that they have had her like May
and I in the present time have all occurred in May's house.
And like you said, this is her controlled environment.
So May is very much in control in this house.

(01:13:03):
She's even controlling all the conversations except this one.
This one gets out of her controlbecause of Todd, the wild card
that comes into the conversation.
And so like she can't control the direction of this in front
of I because she's been curatingall the shit with I because
she's like I know she's I but but we have to like ease I into
this because the first time I met I and kissed her, she

(01:13:26):
fucking ran away and was searching in her car for two
days, like you know what I mean?So she's like this has the baby
steps with I. She gets spooked.
It's a big car, May. Yeah, it's big car.
And here's all this dirty laundry coming out out of her
control. So I wonder if she's like, fuck,
don't leave, because then she gets real truthful about her

(01:13:47):
family after she like literally has a death grip on I's hand.
So May basically expresses that like she's super against moving
back home because she's like, who the fuck's going to actually
care for me, Tom, when I get home?
Are people actually going to Take Me Out or are they just
trying to like get me under their roof so they can control
me versus like I'm amazing control in her house, like has

(01:14:08):
control of her life and can do this lawyers association thing,
which I think her father would fucking hate that what she's
doing. So he hates everything she does.
Yeah. But I think that's where all
this vitriol from Tom is coming from.
It's from the dead. And so she's like, sure, Tom,
I'll move back home where my father is ashamed of my

(01:14:29):
disability and her queerness. So like, basically he wants to
hide her and control her and so the to preserve his reputation.
So like that's Mae's family, which is so fucked up and it
makes her seem like weak, like he would weaken her by going
home. And she's trying to be strong in

(01:14:51):
front of I because I is the inspiration for her to stand up
for herself. So I think that's why she like,
if you watch her when she's delivering the line about like
her father and him, like basically putting his reputation
above his family, she like gripson the eye a little bit tighter

(01:15:12):
because I think she's scared like, you know, because like her
upbringing made her weak. And, you know, she kind of made
this like silent promise to eye when they first met that she
would stand up for herself and stand up to bullies.
And her father is a huge bully and she's clearly still kind of
afraid of him a little bit. And I think that kind of comes
out a little bit, but to eyes credit, I doesn't know the

(01:15:36):
context of any of this because that's Pluto the series.
And so I but I senses Mae's fearand unease and she does like put
her hand on top of Mae's and like grip onto her even tighter
to show me that like, hey, like,I'm here for you, I'm supporting
you. I'm not leaving.
So I think that was a good move on eyes part to kind of like

(01:15:56):
sense what Mae's feeling and respond to it and gives Mae what
she needs in that moment. She does that a few times, like
putting her hand on top to make sure, yeah, ground her.
Yeah, she's I can't cuz like yousaid, she's fairly good at being
the falling into that. I'm supporting you roll without
thinking. And I think with that kind of

(01:16:20):
courage from I may decides this conversation is over.
And so she basically tells Tom to fuck off.
And then she leaves before he can take a breath.
And she drags I basically away from him.
And so like, she's navigating around the coffee table past
Tawn because this is her controlled environment.

(01:16:40):
She knows what she's doing. She's in, She's in charge.
But once I's brain registers what's happening, she switches
back into like, oh, shit, yeah, I have to support her.
And she gently stops May. And then like long enough so she
can get in front of May and thenlike lead May away from all the
furniture because that's what I does.

(01:17:01):
But the the brilliant part or not brilliant part, The amazing
part is that may let's I do this, which says a lot about how
much may trust I because in the conversation with Tom, she's
trying to be like, I'm self reliant.
I'm fine, I can. This is my house.
I can navigate it as long as things aren't moved.
But then I just like, no, let melead you out of here.

(01:17:24):
And so if she was really trying to win that argument with Tom, I
feel like she'd be like, no, I Igot this.
But she let's I do it. And it could because she's
shaken by having to like, talk about her family, to be honest.
Yeah. And both of them are fairly
different when they're with eachother.
Like it's not just. I may for sure is a lot more

(01:17:45):
willing to be guided and sorry yeah taken care of even though
she is portraying that she is self reliant and she is but I as
someone she's like OK, well I want you in my life.
I'm fully here take care of me. I am here for you that and like

(01:18:10):
literally any excuse to touch I she, she takes that.
Human Tattoo. I mean, you say no to.
Being. Taken by the hand, like yeah.
You you just take the hand and you're like, OK.
You're OK, Let me grab onto you even harder now.
Pay just both hands now. OK.

(01:18:34):
And then we learned in this conversation that May is
absolutely not going to that doctor's appointment that they
set up for her. So when I watched this the first
time, I'm like, are these nefarious doctor's appointments
like what is happening? But OK, so Tom says that we have
a doctor's appointment and I just find that so insane that

(01:18:57):
like the controlling nature in this sentence of saying like we
have a doctor's appointment, like he has to be there and like
can't trust her to go on her own.
Like it's just, it boggles my mind like how controlling and
the audacity to be like, oh, like, no, it's the both of us.

(01:19:22):
Yeah. It's kind of like with her
disability, she's being forced into being codependent on other
people. So like, I feel like that must
bother me on some level that like he has to take her to the
appointments cuz he has to navigate her there.
I'm a sucker minute. Like the whole thing is that
they want her to come home so they can control her, which is

(01:19:46):
way worse than her being able tocontrol her own environment.
I yeah, cuz like now they're going to be watching her every
move, choosing everything for her.
She's going to be, I would say. Baby.
But if you're babied, you're kind of like cared for, right?
She would still be neglected, yes, neglected baby, but still

(01:20:11):
have everything controlled for her.
And it's just yeah, this whole scenario is just terrible.
I do want to take a second to back up because this whole scene
is focused on May and Tom because that is what's going on.
But in it, there's this brief interaction between the maid and
I and the maid tries to put the house shoes on I and I just

(01:20:35):
refuse it. She's like, no, no, no, I got
it. And because of what we talked
about in the last episode of I just like refusing help in
general and not wanting to burden anybody with helping her.
It's just another show of that pattern.

(01:20:56):
But May is now able to wear her down because, you know, May,
she's persistent. And really, I needs that.
I needs to be taken care of too.So again, they just complement
each other so well. Yeah, that's a good point.
I also wonder if with the interaction with the maid,
there's like a class, there's like a class system thing

(01:21:18):
playing out because Mae is a rich girl who's had servants her
whole life and would be used to that behavior, whereas I is of
the servant class and be like, this is weird.
Please don't put my shoes on. I I like I'm nobody.
That's that's fair too. We've a lot of the shows we've
seen that dynamic, but we haven't seen like the servant

(01:21:43):
class really interact with each other too much.
So like we haven't gotten like the lead being not the Super
rich one. So it's I mean, the show is just
great. I love it.
The show is so good. All right.
After that, May take lead's eye to her office and we get a

(01:22:04):
glimpse of where like May's workspace is.
And I just before we jump into the scene fully, I just want to
talk about the decor because I think the decor is important for
setting up who May is And it also kind of plays into the
scene a little bit. So first glance it's like kind
of a dark room and it makes likeall the color pop.
So she has all these like gildededged books, like something a

(01:22:27):
lawyer would have. So emphasizing she's a lawyer,
well read, there's posters on the wall of her travel
locations, so like Scotland, etcetera.
So showing she's wealthy, right,and has travelled all over the
world kind of thing. But behind Mae's desk is what I

(01:22:47):
find to be the most interesting piece of artwork, which is a
side profile of the statue of David, which I actually got to
see in real life. And it's fucking huge and really
fantastic. This is one of the greatest soul
sculptures of all time. Just like how it was done and
how beautiful it is. So, but if you don't.

(01:23:08):
But it's more about the imagery than anything else.
So who's David? So this is the Christian myth of
David and Goliath. And basically it's a little
mortal. David takes down the bigger
batter, Goliath with a sling, basically.
So it's a it's a story about using your wits to defeat a
bigger enemy who's all like Brown and, you know, muscle and

(01:23:31):
that kind of stuff. And it's like an underdog story
basically. So if you think about it, May is
a lot like David. She is the underdog in the story
and like society now due to her disability because like, you
know, think about the conversation.
We just have a ton, right? Where he's like putting her down
and being like, you can't do stuff on your own and blah,

(01:23:52):
blah, blah. So it puts her in this underdog
position where Mae has to use her intelligence and her wits
about her because her clevernessis her glitter greatest weapon,
right? Just like it was for David.
That's how he beats Goliath. And if you think about it, like,
I also can kind of be read as like an underdog because I think
I think she's one because she feels like the outcast in her

(01:24:16):
family and like, quote the dumb one.
And no one thinks she can succeed in anything meaningful.
So in a way, they're both kind of underdogs for different
reasons. So I think this is a clever
portrait to put in May's office,which is like her private
sanctuary, too. People don't typically value St.
smarts, no. And I, I like puts them on

(01:24:39):
display in this conversation she's about to have with May,
which is kind of fun. So upon entering the room, the
first thing I does is ask May about the International Lawyers
Association. And I love that she does this
because she just learned a bunchof new stuff about May in that
conversation with Tom. And then she's like, what about
that lawyer association he brought up?

(01:25:00):
Because that's showing May a general genuine interest in one
of May's passions. So this has nothing to do with
the mission, right? This has nothing to do with
like, who is May? She's like, what's this thing
you're putting all your time into?
Tell me about that. This thing you're obviously
passionate about. Yeah, I love how.
Out of everything, that's what she chose.

(01:25:21):
That's what she chose to ask herabout.
Exactly. It says a lot about I and that I
is genuinely interested in may the person, not just the
mission. Also who?
Cares about the family stuff. She has her own family shit too.
Well, like what's she does? Ask me about that later, But she
he or she's like, tell me about the the your interest first, not

(01:25:44):
the messy family stuff, because she, you know, she got a good
sense that May was distressed bythat part of the conversation.
So like, again, I the empatheticperson is like, tell me about
the thing you're you're passionate about, not the thing
that makes you upset. Which?
Eyes are very empathetic and good at reading people is like
the bottom line. But instead of answering that,

(01:26:07):
Mae detours the conversation andasks if I think she's useless.
And I was like why would you even ask me that?
Like like the first thing she says why would you ask me that?
Because she's confused. Like everything that I have seen
about Mae does not scream this woman is useless.
In fact, I is so impressed how capable Mae is.
She's like, I can't it makes herfriends be like, how is she

(01:26:30):
blind? She's so capable of stuff.
So like it's like the opposite is what I was thinking about
May, which is like the irony of those.
Do you think it could be that the this whole thing with time,
not that she would think that she is useless, but like put
that like slight doubt in her head.

(01:26:51):
So she was kind of asking I thatto build her up again.
From May's point of view, you mean?
Yeah, I think that Taun is in her head right now for sure,
because he thinks she's useless in a way.
And her dad thinks she's useless.
So I think that got under her skin.

(01:27:12):
And then she doesn't know genuinely how I feels about her
when it comes to this, when it comes to the pity of her being
blind. So I think that's the test here
with I She's like, do you think this about me?
Because I think Mae senses that I doesn't, but like, she can't
confirm it 100%. You know what I mean?
Yeah. So I think that's why I may

(01:27:33):
pivots. And she's like, I am asking like
if you think I'm useless becauseI'm blind.
Like she flat out clarifies that.
And I reassures Mae that she does not think that by getting
super real with her and is like,well, nobody's perfect Mae.
And then before she continues towatch, I like sigh and looks

(01:27:54):
like contemplative for a minute.Like she's trying to think like
how real do I actually get in this conversation?
Do I like be real as umm, or do I be real as I this is the most
she's thought about that at all.Yeah, exactly.
This is like, yeah, exactly. She's actually thinking about
like, like how do I approach this?
And she does approach it as I honestly like it could be read

(01:28:15):
as umm, but like not really. So she kind of looks around the
room and she's like, yeah, you do have the blindness thing
going on. But she's like, you're wealthy
though. And because you're wealthy, you
have power. Whereas like, I'm poor and so I
can't go to Scotland on a whim or like afford this house or
things like that. And in some ways that makes that

(01:28:38):
means I can't do a lot of thingsbecause like wealth prohibits
me. And she's like, does that mean
I'm useless to you? Like I, I can see, but I don't
have the same opportunities thatyou do.
Am I useless? Is what I says.
And May sits with this question for a second or so sits with
this answer. And then she smiles and her
replies. We think exactly alike.

(01:29:01):
And for me, I think this conversation and I's response to
the previous conversation with Todd are proof that I is in fact
the person she loves. Because she's like, you think
about this, the way I think about this, which is to see past
the surface and like look at theperson and be like judge that
person for who they are kind of thing.

(01:29:22):
She's like, I do the same thing.So I think this was really
reassuring to me and like this was a test for I to be like, are
you actually? Did I make this fantasy up in my
head about you? They met once and you know what
I mean? And like May's been
heartbreaking, this love over one exchange.
And I think this is a confirmation for me to be like I

(01:29:43):
was right. It is you like you are like I
was right about my feelings for you because you are different
from everybody else. And here's the proof right here,
the way you answered this question, this is a lot to put
on one meeting because like you,just you, your whole life
literally changed because of that one moment.

(01:30:04):
But I mean, I does like give heradvice that she stuck with that
did change her life. So it's, it's that more so than
that she saved me the damsel in distress.
It's that advice I gave her. That's fair.
I is using a great therapy technique here.
So she is relating to herself, but she's basically, I mean,

(01:30:28):
again, she May is trying to see where I is.
But to I's point of view, it's kind of like May is just making
sure she doesn't think she's useless.
So she's like, what advice wouldyou give a friend?
So she's putting herself into the shoes.
So she's like, well, what would you tell me?

(01:30:51):
So there's your answer. And I just thought that that was
very. Cool.
I mean, I guess I could have been a therapist maybe no.
So maybe I also wonder if I is also feels insecure because she

(01:31:15):
is, you know, lower class and isa delivery driver and like
here's May, the well accomplished lawyer with all
this money. And I wonder if she's kind of
like, are you going to judge me for that?
And I wonder if that's like the undercurrent of her question as
well. And May doesn't judge I for
that. Whereas like you come to see

(01:31:36):
everybody in May Circle who seeseyes like who let the trash in,
you know what I mean? Yeah.
May doesn't do that. That's a good point too, because
even like umm was with her, but umm, even from the scenes we got
between them, like look down on eye.
She's like I'm out there flying around all these places and

(01:31:58):
you're just here doing who knowswhat and your delivery drive.
Yeah. So she is different than her
sister too. So yeah, because UMM fit into
May's social circle a lot better.
Because UMM had money. Not the May's level of money,
but UMM had more money and like dressed the part of somebody who

(01:32:19):
had money. She was educated and that kind
of stuff. So usually she has more in
common with May on paper than I does.
But you see, like that's not what matters.
It's like get past the cover of the book and look at the actual
text. And it's like May and I to May's
point, we think alike. And that's more important.
Like they actually are more compatible personality wise, not

(01:32:42):
just like what's on the surface,which may be another another
thing GMMTV slash Chow was trying to get out with the
story, which I like. OK.
And then so May after testing I and is like you passed.
I do love you. She goes on to actually discuss
what the International Lawyers Association is and how she got
involved. And this whole thing was purely

(01:33:05):
written to the series. And I love it so much because
spoiler in the in the novel, Maywas not blind for that long.
And this whole the whole time she's with I, she's faking,
she's blind. Oh my gosh.
So when we were watching it, I was right.
Yeah. She so like all these
conversations were like Pan Pangand Jan are like, I'm pretty

(01:33:26):
sure she's faking this shit in the novel.
She was absolutely faking her blindness with I, which was
just. Thank you, GMMTV.
Yeah, no, they, I like the way they did it.
They're like, we'll make her actually blind, give you a
disabled character. Like, let's go into these into
these things. So yeah, thank you, GMMTVI.
Like, the substance of this, especially this explanation.

(01:33:49):
So basically what happened was after May became blind, she
gained a new perspective of whatlife is like living as a
disabled person. And she saw a lot of injustice
just in the way the world is structured, the legal system,
all kinds of stuff that marginalized disabled people,
whether it's intentional or not.And so she decided to use her

(01:34:13):
power as a famous lawyer to makethe world a better place by
improving human rights, basically.
And she's telling all of I this.And when and when she does, she,
like, migrates behind her desk, right?
Because she pulls the file out of the drawer and, like, hands
it to I. But the image of what's
happening here is when she's behind her desk, you have the

(01:34:35):
portrait of David hovering over her shoulder.
Because in this legal fight, this, this group she's joining
is like the underdog group, right, Who's hoping to make
things better by changing society, which is a Goliath.
You think legally that there's so much power in government
compared to like this small group of passionate lawyers?

(01:34:57):
So I love the imagery there of David.
So good choice. Props.
Love it if it's into the scene really nicely.
Also, everything we learn about this association just makes Ton
look even worse for saying that she's obsessed with it.

(01:35:18):
Literally, it's a good thing. At that point we don't know what
it is. I mean, first of all, it's still
plausible no matter what it is for her to be involved in it
because, you know, lawyer. But now it's just like, oh, you
don't want her to help people? You're a really terrible person,
which I think really is a reflection of her dad being a

(01:35:38):
shitty person. But yeah, it makes him look
awful, honestly. So May, this is my favorite
part. So May shares the brief with I,
which is basically like her roadmap for making Thailand a better
place. Basically, she's like, I'm
trying to get support so I can specifically help the Thai
disabled people make life better.

(01:35:59):
And then I like, scared gimps through it, basically.
And like, she's like, yeah. And like, let's be real, she has
no idea what any of this says. But like, like, I think I just,
like, this is a good thing that May is trying to do regardless
of what this says because I don't understand legal jargon.
And I love that. I is genuinely impressed by what

(01:36:21):
May is doing and trying to do. And I think that by May sharing
this with, I really does assuageher suspicions about me being
nefarious towards anybody, including, um, and Paul, despite
all the weirdness and the missing puzzle pieces with that
whole thing, she's like, how could this person who's like

(01:36:43):
obsessed with human rights be this evil person that like
paying a Janner trying to paint her to be?
It's not. Adding up.
No, the math's not mathing here.I mean, apparently gays can't do
math, but this is pretty gay is trying.

(01:37:04):
These gays are trying. But I just genuinely love how
impressed I is because she smiles and just tells me he's
flat out like, this is really cool.
Like what you're doing is reallycool.
Like you're cool and May's face lights up instantly because her
inner child must be doing cartwheels because Oh my God, I

(01:37:25):
just called her cool. Like I who is like glasses like
you need to get like stand up for yourself.
It's also cool in the scene. Like this must be so validated
to like inner child May. That is a great point.
But also it's someone's finally giving her a validation.
Yeah, in general, because, you know, no one in her life is

(01:37:46):
really like, oh, this is a greatthing you're doing.
So there's finally someone is like, I see you, I see what
you're doing, and it is a good thing.
Not that she needs to, like reassurance, but, well, yes.
But to have it to be, I must be,like, doubly validating.
And this whole scene, ladies andgentlemen, ladies and gentlemen,

(01:38:10):
is a lesson in peeking. So some people peek in high
school and some people glow up in adulthood.
And May is a glow up girl. OK, That's what the story is
telling us. Boy, is she ever.
She became cool as an adult who was a little nerd in high
school. So it's all the nerds out there.

(01:38:31):
BMA yes, you can do it. You can do it all right.
So then this cute moment happensand then I follows this up with
is there anything else I don't know about you?
Yes and glue up May who just gottold by her crush she's cool

(01:38:55):
decides to shoot her shot with Iher like and like this made me
wonder I'm like I like in May's mind what is I like?
Is I like her fake girlfriend? Like what is this situation ship
in May's brain? Like what is it that's valid?
I, I didn't actually think aboutthat because, you know, I is

(01:39:17):
just wanting to think that May is her girlfriend, right?
Because she has to be. Umm.
But now there's no excuse for May.
So it's like if we were just coming into this right now and
just had like some of these facts, it'd be like May is

(01:39:38):
toying with I She is in a way, yes, but but like, because she
wants her. But yeah.
So yeah, I don't know what she would like.
I mean, yeah, you know what? She's probably like, Yep, this
is my girlfriend. Yeah, right.
Like in her brain, she's like eyes my girlfriend.
Yeah, exactly. And whereas like, in my in eyes

(01:39:58):
brain, like their trope would belike fake girlfriend because I'm
pretending to be OOM. So like, this is not really my
girlfriend. She's my fake girlfriend.
Like to act like she's my girlfriend, but she's not my
girlfriend. Where's Mae?
I think you're right. And Mae's like.
Umm, is my wife or this is my wife?
Like, let's just be honest, I ismine.
I has no idea. Eventually this will resolve

(01:40:18):
itself. Yeah, yeah, eventually.
But I was just like, at this point, how is Mae categorizing
their situation ship? That's what I think in her head,
she's like, eventually this willbe all fine.
We won't have to deal with any of that anymore.
But this is this is. Yeah, this is happening.
It's happening. This is happening.
OK. It's happening.
It is happening. So OK, so glow of May, what does

(01:40:40):
she do? She leans over the desk towards
eye, like getting into her spaceand basically tells her, well,
here's something you don't know about me.
So you just learned in the previous conversation that I
don't like going out, but I do like going out as long as you're
with me, which on the surface, like eye starts panicking
because on the surface you can interpret this as like I, I like

(01:41:02):
leaving the house because I feelsafe with you Or option 2, which
is I want to go out on a date with you is what she's saying.
And like, based on I's additional reaction, her brain
goes to option 2 and she's like,Oh my God, is she asking me out?
Not I mean, umm, me, umm, and then me manifest these thoughts

(01:41:22):
by repeating and being more clear, like, do you want to go
out with me? I'm actually asking you out.
I because I'm not confident you're you're getting this.
She was like can't hear you or read your face.
So like, let's go out on a date.I is what I'm saying.
See. My brain for some reason was
like this is her asking her to be her girlfriend.

(01:41:42):
I'm like I mean they're togethertechnically right now.
I don't know. This whole relationship is very
confusing. It's sure is that's half the
fun. So good news, like, but this is
at minimum it's May asking I outon a date basically.
And adorably awkward eye flirts right back with May, which is

(01:42:04):
great. And she just goes into a little
like nickname mode where she's like, as you wish Princess.
And she does this like gentlemanly body language where
she like, sweeps her arm across like, like she's being
chivalrous to a woman who can't see her doing this.
So like, it's like, there's a lot of things going on here.

(01:42:25):
So #1 the nickname. So the Princess nickname, which
I'm convinced I has been callingMay in her brain for quite some
time and it just like comes out naturally in this moment.
It's such a like fantastical, playful thing.
And then she like goes into likeprincely mode where she's like
her their body language, like she's play like playing along

(01:42:47):
with this thing with May and it's playful.
And I is again, rarely playful. She's only playful with May.
So it's really cute that she just like defaults into this.
So this is I being I, not I pretending to be umm.
You can tell by the fact that she's being super playful and
stuff. So like when May asks her out,
she's like, yes, go out with me.I is basically the body language

(01:43:08):
read. I do love that.
I mean, again, she it's not thatshe's like forgetting that May
is blind. It's just like what she does.
It's what she feels in your bodylanguage.
Yeah, it's cute. It is.
It's very cute, but it's just, Idon't know, she understands that

(01:43:30):
she it's not getting across. I don't think that part has
clicked. No, I think it's just I feels
this, therefore I is doing it inthe moment.
It's it has nothing to do with like what?
Like she's not doing it for to impress May.
She's doing it because it's whatshe feels, which is the bigger
thing. So it's a betrayal of eyes

(01:43:51):
feelings in the scene, the way her body is kind of responding
because it's not for May's benefit because she cannot see
her. It's eye just feeling this and
doing it. Yeah.
All right. Anything else about that scene?
No, that seems so cute. Well, before we continue on to

(01:46:00):
Part 2. So May and I agree to go out
together and so May in the priorscene was in her night dress,
which kind of important. So like basically Todd woke her
up or whatever had this whole fight.
So May's like I have to like getpresentable for outside.
So she goes to take a shower andthen May or May I is like

(01:46:24):
hanging out in May's room, I think, or just whatever in the
house. And so she's texting Jan mommy
does this and she's like, listen, Jan, I'm going to take
her out or whatever. And she's like, but you know, my
cover was almost blown because her cousin showed up and Jan's
like, were you smooth about it? And it's just my favorite part.

(01:46:49):
Eyes never smooth. And she's like, no, but luckily
umm didn't know him so it was fine.
And then Jan's like that's real convenient girl.
But when Jen asks if she was smooth about it, eyes response
is smooth. My foot and I just I I loved I

(01:47:13):
died at that response. She's like, no, no, I was.
Not at all. The least amount of smooth you
could be. At least eyes not delusional
about her spy capabilities. She's she's not.
Yeah, it's a good thing. It is a good thing.

(01:47:33):
OK. And then I admits that, like it
basically, once Todd showed up, she's like, I honestly wasn't
paying attention to how, like, smooth I was being because her
whole focus was on protecting May.
And she says it like in the textto Jan, which again, revealing.
And Jan's like, I'm still not convinced that like this woman

(01:47:59):
isn't setting you up. I think that you were came off
as smooth because she wanted youto because, girl, you're a
disaster. And I still think she's behind
all of this. OK, Yeah.
So why I I'm just very curious about why May making I look

(01:48:21):
smooth because she's behind. Like I don't understand how that
would help. So in the conversation, I didn't
write it all down, but like in the conversation, basically Jan
says something like I basically like she was insinuating that
like May, no, she's I and not umm.

(01:48:43):
And she's like, well, if May is trying to pretend that you're
UMM, then it's in her benefit for that discussion to go
smoothly, which was true. It is exactly what happens.
That's why May jumps and he goes, This is why I never let
you guys meet Tom because that'sexactly what happened.
But I is not not convinced that Mae knows who she is and she's

(01:49:06):
like, that seems extreme and weird, but this is a child porno
novel. So that is what's happening.
But basically in this conversation, Jan's like no
girl. We need to like we have the
phone number. We need to catch me with the
cell phone going off when somebody, when one of us calls
this number, we have to like confirm that she's not, she is

(01:49:29):
or isn't involved in this based on the information that we have.
And I is like, listen, girl, I've been spending actual time
with her. She just learned about the
International Lawyers Association thing.
And she's like, it's not her. I'm taking her off the fucking
list. Like I decide that unilaterally
she's no longer a suspect because I said so, because how
could this angelic human be a suspect?

(01:49:50):
Like all the things that I is actually learning about May does
not add up to her being nefarious.
So that I was like, fuck this Jan.
Like you don't know her. I'm getting to know her.
I'm telling you she's not evil. So take her off the list.
Let's stop going down this road.And we cut to Jan's reaction to
receiving this text and the justconfusion and disbelief that I

(01:50:13):
has the audacity to just cross her off the list because Jan's
probably thinking that because she's pretty, but there is a lot
going on that she doesn't. Well also like Jian knows that I
that Nae knows this is I. So like this conversation is

(01:50:34):
funnier because Jian is basically being like girl, if
she didn't think you were umm, which she doesn't, then like
this would play. But I was like, no, no, there's
no way. We.
Really got to make that murder board because everybody, I mean,
the the answer is that everybodyknows everything except I and
Pang. I'm paying.

(01:50:54):
Yeah, I'm paying. I've no idea what's going on.
Everybody else knows. So that that is true.
It's weird that Jan is still playing along with us.
Like a Jan could have been like,girl, she knows her eye.
Like, why is Jan playing along with us?
What is her benefit to playing along with us?
Is my question a mini sode? Oh, Jan.

(01:51:14):
Just Jan's point of view of someof these things because Jan
really could have given her moreinformation so many times,
especially now. Like what is the benefit?
I guess the benefit is like, I guess Jan, the reason she plays
along with this is because she'slike she knows the history of

(01:51:35):
umm and and May. And I wonder if she senses that
May is the one that called and it's like, did they get into a
fight? Like was made jealous?
Like what happened? Like what was that conversation
with UMM on her wedding night? Why the fuck was UMM calling May
on her wedding night? Like, I wonder if Jan is like

(01:51:56):
freaking out and can't really say any of these things because
she's like, well, if May is involved, like we have an inside
man with I, and if I's cover is blown, then we I can't
investigate Mae on Umm's behalf.So I wonder if that's where
Jan's kind of coming from. And like, she's basically trying
to warm an eye covertly to be like, girl, she knows more than

(01:52:18):
you think. You know, you need to be fucking
careful and eyes like, whatever,She's perfect.
Jan. Let's stop investigating her.
Yeah, that's that's true. All right, so that that is
hilarious. Yeah she's like it's kind of
hilarious trying to lead the horse to water right now, but it

(01:52:44):
does make sense cuz even if she told I and like still tried to
get I to be undercover, I is terrible at being undercover
yes. So nothing would work.
No. So that's no fair.
No also she's probably like I because she is a rider diaper
oom. So she doesn't really know out

(01:53:06):
and left things too. So she's probably like hands off
of like don't say the least amount.
So I don't ruin anything for UMMas well.
Yeah, because again, she's also trying to like, I guess the
other thing with Jay, I guess the other weird part of this is

(01:53:26):
that Oom sent I to break up withMay being like once I once I
sit, once I says those words, then May knows I sent her there.
So I guess if like I doesn't do that, then like then like Oom's
wish is not being fulfilled and like Oom's sin can't be
resolved. I don't know.
This whole thing is a hot mess basically, is what I'm saying.

(01:53:49):
And there's a lot to think about, yes, but we stopped
thinking in the next scene because I, I, I text Jan and
she's like, investigation's off Jan, whatever.
And then May emerges from the shower to put lotion on her
legs. Yes, let's get into the scene.
So let's get into this. May comes into the room.

(01:54:13):
I. Puts her phone away very
quickly. And again, I she would not have
noticed you were on your phone to begin with.
No, but I think it was more so the guilt of talking about
whether or not May was involved at all in this.
She's like, oh, I just, she wants to put it all the way.
She doesn't want to think about that part.

(01:54:35):
She just wants to be with May. And then I seems to get panic
slightly because, you know, the pretty lady is now just in a
bathrobe and all I can do right now is stare, which is typical
for her and is a possibility. Like, again, this is a great
opportunity for her just to stare because I doesn't.

(01:54:59):
My gosh. Mae doesn't know she is, but she
is hoping she is. Listen, this entire scene is an
opportunity for everybody, OK? Because I'm convinced Mae did
this on purpose because she could have done this in the
bathroom. She could have put on lotion in
the bathroom, but I think she did this came out into her

(01:55:21):
bedroom, sat on a chair and did this because she was no, she
either knew or was hoping I was like still in the room because
she left her in the room and Ajit, she was hoping I would
still be there waiting in the room.
So this is all this is part of May's flirting game that she
started in the and she started in her office where she was

(01:55:42):
like, well, I'm going to ask youout on a date.
And then she's like showing all she's doing all the things she
can do to be like is to get I interested in her basically.
So this is part of her flirting.So May's flirting seems to have
a theme song because the first episode she was flirting by
trying to take care of her and bandage her finger.

(01:56:04):
This one, she's putting lotion on her legs.
And then we hear the Love on theBrain song music underneath
again, because Rihanna's back. Yeah.
Also back in the flirting, Rihanna's here for the flirting.
This scene really could have been a great product placement

(01:56:26):
scene. Seriously, that would have been
so organic. Seriously, if they had a lotion
partner, this would have been great.
But I think we, I think it had to be lotion because I don't
think they had like a brand dealwith any kind of lotion.
They had like face cleaning products.

(01:56:46):
And then noodles. It'd be really weird.
She came out with noodles. I mean, I'd be into it, but it'd
be kind of less organic if she was just like, I need a snack.
And now that I shower anyway, soyeah, a snack in the bedroom, I
is immediately a goner. Like immediately.
Because she comes in and to yourpoint is like, Oh my God, robe,

(01:57:09):
which means there's no clothes under that robe or there's
limited clothes under that robe.So she freezes and she's like,
OK, And then May has the lotion bottle.
When she opens the lotion bottle, I puts together what's
about to happen and like starts to gay panic immediately.
And then you watch her gay panicmore and more because she's
like, Oh my God, an ankle, Oh myGod, a shin and then a thigh, 2

(01:57:32):
thighs, Oh my God. And like I like fucking
panicking. And but then like she's like,
she doesn't know I'm here or whatever, I'm just going to
watch. And she like very intently is
like watching may put lotion on her legs and is just enjoying
the view because I could be a gentlewoman and leave, but she

(01:57:53):
doesn't. And since she uses her own
cosplay privileges to like, watch this play out until she
finally just starts like shakingherself back into like, you
know, being present. And this is like, what am I
doing? What am I doing?
I will tell you what she's doing.

(01:58:14):
She's continued to do what she'sbeen doing this whole time,
which is giving yourself what she wants just enough before she
has to bring it back to the mission.
Like knowing that she can't fully be present because this
isn't what she thinks. This isn't for her.
And like in this case, it wasn'tpretending to be.

(01:58:36):
It was being respectful and telling her blind girlfriend
that she is in the room. So like no snap out of it.
You have to let her know that you're able to see her and she
doesn't have to do any like she could make any sort of noise to
alert Mei. It doesn't have to be actual
where it's like you can panic all you want just make a sound

(01:58:58):
like put your phone on the table.
Anything that would alert her, she does silently gulp while
she's staring at her silently, silently.
So that doesn't even help. But hilarious.
She didn't want to get caught. She's like, I like what's
happening right now. But in her defense, she does

(01:59:22):
catch herself fairly quickly. Like she does stare, but she
could have let that go on longer.
But it's going to go on for quite some time.
But yeah, you're right. But yeah, like, Mae only got to,
like, a shin and a calf. She didn't get to both legs.
So before I was like, I'm here. Then you, like, kind of see her

(01:59:44):
debating internally. Like, what do I do?
Like, I know I have to tell her,but like, how?
Like, how do I let her know thatI was watching her, Right.
Like, this is getting more awkward by the 2nd.
What do I do? Yeah, it's really funny.
I she's just so adorably awkward.

(02:00:04):
I swear to God. It's so funny.
But yeah, I love when she like alerts made her presence.
She's like, yes. And then she gets up and starts
moving around. Like, what was she doing?
She would be like, I just arrived May May, who knows the
complete layout of this room andI is coming from the side of the
bed where the entrance to the room is not so like she was

(02:00:25):
obviously in the room the whole day.
Like there was no playing this off, is what I'm saying.
Yeah, yes, there. The way she comes over, like she
is making like talking, wow, she's walking over.
So there's no way that May wouldn't know where she's coming

(02:00:47):
from. I mean, which is only an issue
if May wasn't expecting her to still be there, which is not the
case. And that's also like kind of the
whole plot of the show. Like it's only OK because May
knows what's going on. Yes, May consented to I watching
her put lotion on her legs before I consented to it.

(02:01:09):
May consented to I literally yes, she consented to all of the
stuff with I. And it's obvious because May is
completely unfazed. Like when I is like awkwardly
like I'm in the room May basically by making noise, Mae
just keeps rubbing the lotion into her legs like it's it's

(02:01:29):
super normal. Like this is totally normal.
Umm umm does this all the time. She doesn't get startled at all.
No, but I do wonder like internally is Mae nervous at
all? Because I is like seeing more
skin on display than she's ever shown.
Like she's basically showing I like her lower body essentially

(02:01:53):
like for the first time and she can't gauge the reaction.
But like I wonder if she is a little nervous to like actually
go through this. I mean, she's clearly confident.
It doesn't show it, but we've all seen she's a good liar.
So like this is a poker face from May.
But now that you say that, we doget to the point where they she
laid down in bed with her the first time and she was she

(02:02:13):
looked nervous. So that's what I mean.
That is very important. She's getting more vulnerable
with eyes. What I mean?
And like, I wonder if Mae is like nervous a little bit about
that. She definitely doesn't show it
though. But but I again, to your point,
how do I handle this sexual situation?

(02:02:34):
So Ma, I decides to pick the most least sexual thing ever to
bring up and she's like, tell meabout your dad, Mae.
Tell me about your family. Like I this.
This is the best time to bring that up, right?
Yeah. She's like, let's put cold water

(02:02:54):
on this whole situation. Tell me about your family, which
seems to distress you. That's why I think it's really
funny. Again, she didn't bring it up
earlier. She brings it up now during
this, like, sexual tension moment.
That's when I was like, your family.
May May has to be like, darn it,I I was over here really trying.

(02:03:15):
She's flirting with her. She's like, damn it, why would
you do this now? Because she flips again, flips
the conversation around really fast.
Be like, no, May or no I we're going to go out on a date.
This is date talk, not family talk.
But May explains that her dad doesn't handle it well, that she
has a girlfriend and that's why you're a secret.

(02:03:40):
OK So she says he doesn't handleit well that I have a girlfriend
that's why you're a secret. So unless I'm not remembering
something, it's interesting choice of words because, and it
may be a translation error too. If the dad knows she has a
girlfriend, but I as a secret, that means I'm trying to figure

(02:04:05):
out the right words to say this does this, Is this making sense?
It does. I think what you're saying is
like she because it's translatedin present tense, like I have a
girlfriend, then that means the dad would know who she's dating.
And so if she's saying you're a secret, it makes it like less
possible and not it's OOM. Yeah, but I wonder if it's like,

(02:04:29):
again, a translation thing to belike, he doesn't handle it well
that I'm. I date women.
And so like, that's why our relationship is secret.
That's what I was thinking. Like it had to be something like
that. Yeah, but also like or it could
be a tip to I that like, our relationship was hidden for this
reason. Because again, I is like, why
did UMM never mention this? So I wonder if like this is more

(02:04:51):
of a more of information for I to put the Umm Mei relationship
into context to be like, we werecloseted because of my dad,
who's obviously very powerful, you know?
Yeah. Thank you for your insight.
But yeah, I again, when May is like spoon feeding her
information, I does not put it like does not think it's weird

(02:05:13):
that like she's explaining theirtheir quote relationship in
explicit detail. Be like, well, remember Ohm?
I was like, I I remember, I remember got it.
That's a really bad spot. I.
That there's no doubt about thatI know.
However, May is really good at what she does and she.

(02:05:35):
Starts. Talking in double meetings again
and she says and our relationship hasn't been great
lately, which causes I to ask for clarification be if May is
talking about the relationship with her father or with her.
I mean, the answer is both. Like the answer is yes.

(02:05:56):
She says that yeah. And then she keeps kind of going
with like she being May with this kind of comparison where
she compares her relationship with her father with the
relationship with umm, and it's like kind of frightening a
little bit, but like we'll kind of go with it.
And her explanation is basicallythat the relationship is

(02:06:18):
strained and awkward after the truth is revealed, which is true
to both relationships. Like once the truth of who May
is comes out to her father, their relationship gets fucking
weird and toxic and more toxic and terrible.
Same thing with UMM. Because when the truth of I'm in
love with your twin came out, shit got real awkward.

(02:06:40):
Awkward with UMM and I do wonderthough, like when oh is it?
I asked her something about it and then May says you never like
telling me the truth. And then I do wonder like who
exactly is May talking about in this line?

(02:07:04):
Because again, this is all double meaning, like if she
talking about. Boom.
I herself because like, no one'stelling anybody the truth in the
scene. She's talking about Pluto the
whole show. Pluto.
Yeah, exactly. I mean, she she's definitely

(02:07:27):
enjoying playing with her words because for sure, again, I is
not telling her the truth. She knows that.
But again, no. One's telling the truth.
No. And that's so like, yeah, so
this like on the surface, this line reads us like it's about

(02:07:49):
umm, like umm doesn't didn't tell her the truth.
But I also wonder if like, this is like some information for I
again, to put together the UMM and, and May's situation because
I has been like wondering, like I has been on this journey of
learning all of these secrets about her sister and being like,
what the fuck? Umm, you never told anybody

(02:08:10):
meaning me about any of this. And like, here's me being like
your secret. Your sister was super secretive.
Like, yeah, our relationship wassecretive because of my dad.
But then like UMM was never truthful with me.
That's a lot for I to learn about UMM, you know, cuz like
she's been suspecting that umms had secrets and then like to
have the girlfriend confirm it. That's something that is that's

(02:08:36):
true too. I feel like there's still guilt
there for herself because she knows she's not telling her the
truth for sure. And it's just it's very layered.
Exactly. It's very layered, which is fun.
So then May continues the flirting and when I asks I can't
can't get over the fact that UMMtold May to fuck off and then

(02:09:02):
she came back as UMM to like break up with her and May
immediately forgave UMM quote for run for like leaving her
basically. So I asked again, she's like,
well, like you forgave, UMM, basically after you, like I told
you to leave or whatever. And May again at this stage,

(02:09:24):
May, I was sitting on like the edge of the bed and then May was
sitting on the the chair where she was putting the lotion on.
And so I was like, well, Beasley, you forgave me so
easily. Like it's still weird.
May gets up perfectly, locates eye on the bed and then like
leans into eyes space and puts one hand on eyes thigh for quote

(02:09:45):
balance. Well, yeah, they are, because
the thigh is much more stable than the shoulder.
She had one hand on the shoulder.
She did both. But yeah, you're right.
Because you need all the stability.
I thought she all the stability hand and then put left hand on
the shoulder, right hand's on the thigh.
So eyes trapped, basically. And then she tells I the reason

(02:10:09):
she could forgive her so easily is because I love you.
OK. And then I who's been suspecting
that a lot of love is coming from May, like gets that
verbally said out loud aloud andconfirm.
And I just like melts in that moment because like I said, like

(02:10:32):
May's love has been this constant or undercurrent in
every interaction that they've had so far.
And that is the thing that has clouded eyes judgement since the
very beginning when it comes to May.
It's that love that she feels constantly and at this point she
is clinging to the fact that this love for like, boom air

(02:10:54):
quotes. But in this scene, it's so hard
and near impossible for I to like not feel the actual love
May is directing at her. Especially when the bitch has
got a grip on your thigh. Like I was a guitar in the
scene. That's really what it was like.
She's like, I'm going to have you as close as possible, hands

(02:11:17):
all over you, intimately get youto realize I am speaking to you.
And what I'm saying is that May has mad game and I falls for it
every fucking time. Every time.
But if then they get this like wide shot of them in the room
and if you look at eyes, body language, it's still she's like,

(02:11:41):
yes, trapped where May is holding her, but like she's
leaning far as far back from Mayas she possibly can by like
being in May's grip because the deception and OOM is still the
gap between them at this point. And I think I is still very
conscious of both of those things and is like restraining
herself basically from like believing fully that this is

(02:12:03):
about her, even though I think she feels like it is.
It's like her feelings and her brain are battling in the scene.
Essentially, yes. Also this is a lot.
There's a little bit of gay panic there, so much gay panic.
Her hand is on her thigh. Yes, that is.

(02:12:24):
And as the girlfriend, it'd be weird to be like, please don't
touch me. There's already a lot going on
in her brain, but now it's just short circuiting while trying to
figure out everything and it's just it's too much.
It's a lot a. Lot.
OK so then we head over to I andPang talking while planting

(02:12:49):
stuff in Pang's garden and I is telling Pang about how Mei
kissed her the day they first met and Mei must really love UMM
to do that. And I mean if this was really
the scenario she thought she wasgoing into it, it wouldn't be
out of place. Like UMM is her girlfriend even

(02:13:11):
if they like she didn't even know that UMM and her weren't in
a great place. Like she thought that they were
together. Yeah it like again, the whole
situation is weird because they were together after UMM got
married and then UMM was like gobreak up with her for me.

(02:13:32):
I so like, I think I like what did I think she was going to
walk into exactly? Like did she think that Mae
hated, UMM, isn't right? To your point, as all the
thoughts were going on in her head, No, the minute she saw
May, all the thoughts were gone.All of them.
She was probably just like I can't believe I have to do this.

(02:13:54):
Didn't think about anything. Yeah.
And then as soon as she saw May,all thoughts were just out and
gone. And yeah.
And like that wouldn't that's not really weird.
They haven't seen each other in a little bit.
I I don't know. I didn't even know that.
What did Jan tell her? Like he's like, what did I
actually know going into that scenario?

(02:14:15):
I don't think she knew anything at all.
So it wouldn't be weird. It's like a kiss.
But it really wouldn't. No, it wouldn't be weird at all.
But she's again, this is this isI snitching on herself because
she's so fixated on the love shefeels from May that's there for

(02:14:37):
Oom. So I it, which you know, I can
keep saying is something that I is envious of.
She's envious of all this love that just gets thrown at Oom.
Well, meanwhile, she's like craving it for herself and
nobody seems to direct it just at her.
It's always oh. And so she's just, I think she's

(02:14:57):
jealous and fixated on that partof this whole fuckery that's
happening with May. Yeah.
It's like, it can't be her, right?
That that's literally what this is.
And also like, it didn't hit me that this is a flashback.
So while May in the interim of May, you know, being like, I
love you and then I think what happened was she's like, I love

(02:15:20):
you and then she went to go get changed and then May and then
eyes having this flashback and or the journal entry.
She puts it here. She's like, let me put things
into perspective. May, I was talking with my
bestie and so fixated on that love, you'd be thrown at me.
Wow, now I feel stupid. I did not catch that.
That was a flashback. Me either.
It took me like 4 times of watching this to realize this

(02:15:42):
was a flashback because the nextthe next part didn't make sense.
I was like why is I wearing the same clothes as when they I
didn't see. I don't pay attention to the
clothing you do. So I thought this was just
another day. Yeah, I thought so too.
It's it's just doesn't feel likea flashback.
It's a flashback. It took me a while to figure

(02:16:03):
that out because I was just likeOh my.
Did they have this conversation off screen after I gay panicked
about the legs because then likeit.
No, because the May gets changed.
That's the next step after the lotion.
And so like this, the flashback,that makes so much more sense.
It took me a while. Well, shit.
OK, well let's continue with this flashback.

(02:16:26):
So Hank seems really offended that may kiss eye the moment she
saw her. Yes, like Tia.
Why did I do that? And so.
Pang's like, all right, I know what I'm going to do, let's just
keep going with May is behind it.
So Pang asks I if May really loves Oom.

(02:16:47):
Or if she. Was just pretending and
continues to say like Pang continues to say that she thinks
May went overboard because she'sscared of getting caught.
Why is it weird that she would kiss her girlfriend?
Listen, right? No, exactly.
OK Jan we can give some grace tobecause she knows that she knows

(02:17:10):
what's actually happening and that May knows this is I.
But paying has no idea. I think paying is like why is
paying obsessed with the fact that like May is deceiving I
when May like umm was her girlfriend?
It's not that weird if you don'tknow the history of May and,
UMM, like actually like Jan does.

(02:17:32):
I'll get into like, why she's like trying to do this.
But I mean, the way that she learned about it, yeah, she has
material motives, but it's not that weird.
The way she went about it is. It's not the right way because
it's not weird. However, it's not weird.
For some reason you both think. It is.
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't,right?

(02:17:54):
She kissed me. She kissed her girlfriend of X
amount of time she has engagement rings with.
It's not that weird anyway. And of course, Peg continues on
by saying if May knew I wasn't OOM, she would become a a
suspect. And the look that I gives Pang,

(02:18:19):
Oh my God, it looks. Could.
Kill man, seriously? Oh she is pissed like how dare
because now there are two peoplein her life being like oh this
person is deceiving you? She's out for herself, she's
nefarious. And I was like oh you're still

(02:18:39):
going with that theory? Which makes Fang so confused,
but it was like her reaction to this and asked her aren't you
looking into it yourself? Why are you asking me that?
Yeah cuz she's like, she's like you're still pretending to be
umm to get Intel, right? Because that is what she left

(02:19:03):
Pang's apartment in the last episode saying like I am going
to go back there and pretend to be umm.
I'm going to figure this out. OK I so now not only does hang,
no I is catching feelings now. Like I isn't even telling her

(02:19:25):
everything that's going on, which has to hurt her because I
is conveniently leaving out the parts where she is forgetting
that she's not actually. Right and.
Yeah, you, you bring it up laterin the episode, but you had me
watch the music video for A Princess's Tale, the OST.

(02:19:48):
Yeah, Princess's Tale. And this whole thing, like the
situation is kind of like that music video.
Like she's supposed to kill her target but then ended up falling
for her and losing track of the mission.
Yeah, So good. And so.
Pang lists everything out for her and she's like, you met her

(02:20:09):
once, she kissed you, and now you think she loves you.
Are you crazy? I don't like.
Yes, I mean minus the kissing part.
That is how it went for May. I mean, she did get life advice
that changed her life but. Yeah.
Lance was really all it took. And you should know Pang like,

(02:20:34):
well, it's like we'll get into it when we get to that scene.
But for May it was more like somebody sees me because I saw
her and was like, girl, you needto defend yourself.
Like don't let them like bully you.
Like stand up for yourself. Do something like she saw me as

(02:20:54):
a person and like spoke to her and like nobody had done that.
Everybody was like, she's the rich girl.
She's just like this nerdy suck up or whatever.
And but I saw her as a person. That was the thing that changed
her. And then here's I like and
that's the thing that May neededat that time.
And then here's I who wants and needs to be loved.
And then May is willingly givingit to her.

(02:21:16):
And that's that's where the conflict comes from, where she's
like, but then she's like, why is it always for fucking UMM?
And UMM was going to throw it away like, and she just can't
get over that. She's like, if I had this, I
would never let it go. And like, here's UMM who had two
people who were like throwing love at her.
And she's just, I think she's pissed off at that.

(02:21:36):
That's fair. But yeah, like paying, it's not
that weird for she was pretending to be her sister.
Is it? Is it really that weird that
made of any of these things? It's not, it's really not.
Pang's just jealous Pang. A part of Pang needs May to be

(02:21:58):
the bad person. I agree.
Yes, you're right. Then she because if May is the
bad person, Pang doesn't have tofeel guilty for hating and
resenting her being with I rightnow.
Yeah, no, all of Pang's stuff inthis conversation is that she's
like, first of all, you kissed agirl.

(02:22:19):
What the fuck? I I don't care if it was under
the umm, disguise or not, Why couldn't it have been me what
she says later? And then she's like mad that
like here's I like completely changing right in front of her
because of this girl. And so Pang is just extremely
jealous in this conversation. Like, yeah, she's worried about
her friend too. She's like, girl, you could be
getting deceived and played, butalso she's like, what the fuck?

(02:22:42):
You fell so easily for this woman.
What the fuck? I like I've been here the whole
time. That's what her energy is on
this scene. But you're right, and I love
that you said paying needs may to be the villain because paying
views her as the villain and it's like I you also have to see
her as the villain. I mean, she immediately, she

(02:23:04):
immediately jumped to she's the she's the bad person here
because it's that's the easiest thing to it's like, oh, I'm not
jealous. That's a bad person for you.
Right in Pang's brain. It's you belong with me by
Taylor Swift. He's like, can't you see that?

(02:23:26):
I forgot the words. Don't judge us, pooja.
Sorry, Fuja. It's the most common song too.
We suck. Anyway, let's keep going with
this conversation. Now you have my brain.
Like, I need to figure it out. All right?

(02:23:46):
But, oh, can't you see that I'm the one that understands you?
Like, that's basically Pang's energy in the scene.
Yeah, I had something, and now Iforgot it.
I'm sorry. It was something about paying.
Paying. Yeah, it was so.

(02:24:09):
OK. I know what it was.
It was it was sorry. It's easier for paying to deal
with her own feelings when I isn't really with anybody.
But now that oh May's here, it was a possibility.

(02:24:30):
So it's easier for her to deal with her feelings, never
thinking that it wasn't actuallya possibility.
And so now that that is here, it's hurting her and really
getting to her. Yeah.
Because it's not that I is falling for somebody, it's that
I is falling for a woman. And so she's like, well, what

(02:24:50):
the fuck? Like, you were an option this
whole time, like that was, and you never looked at me.
Like that's where this is all coming from.
Which, like, relatable. Having feelings for your best
friend sucks. It sucks and I doesn't know any
of this is going on. No, because I never knows what's
going on. Ever.

(02:25:12):
She's clueless. Again, the story of the show.
I defends herself by telling Pang that it wasn't Mei kissing
her that made her think all this, it was the feeling that
told her it was real. And then she says I can really
sense that she truly loves Oom. And I think.

(02:25:36):
The reason she specifically saysthis is to remind herself that
this love is supposed to be for UMM, though she does desperately
want it to be for herself. But this is also really the
first time I did something for herself.
Because yeah, she has some good things in her life, but for the

(02:25:57):
most part she has done things tomake things easier for other
people. And this, just this once, she is
actually being selfish and giving into what she wants.
That's why she stares longer anddidn't tell Mae that she was
watching her foot lotion on for a little while.
This is the first time she really is being selfish, and

(02:26:21):
it's like she's taking a little bit more and more each time
because she's getting a taste ofactually thinking of for
herself, of herself for the first time.
Yeah, that's a really good point.
No, that's all very, very true. Because, like, that gets
reinforced after we get out of the flashback.

(02:26:42):
And then we cut back to I, who'swaiting outside of Mae's closet
because Mae's changing now. Because that's, you know, put
lotion on, get out of the robe. And she's flipping out,
obviously, because, like, Mae's naked in the other room.
So she's like, losing it, OK. And she's cracking under the
weight of her own disguise basically.
And I think in this moment she'sstruggling with her feelings for

(02:27:07):
May. Yes, but also like her loyalty
to Oom. So to your point, she is being
selfish, which is a test of her loyalty to Oom.
But also like the feelings that she's having are also new.
So she's also grappling with that too.
Like like what? You know, she's never been
interested in anybody the way she's interested in May or had
the feelings for somebody that she's having for May.

(02:27:28):
So she's like grappling with allthese new things and being
selfish, like you said, at Umm'sexpense, which makes it even
worse, like in her brain. And I assume that like, you
know, you brought up her feelingguilty.
And I, I assume that the guilt has been going on with I since
this like she's been having to cosplay as like Umm's alleged,

(02:27:49):
you know, cosplay with Umm's, you know, alleged girlfriend at
this point. Even though like the pieces of
Ummen may make less sense every single day, the more you learn
about them, the less sense they make.
And then when you when you get the truth, it makes it doesn't
make much. Yeah, it still doesn't make
sense. So like I think eyes are so
consumed with guilt that like she cannot math that math.
That's not mathing. And just as like, I don't get it

(02:28:12):
because like, again, UMM didn't break up with May until after
the wedding. So that like it plays it like
UMM was holding on to May, right.
And that Oom was the one that was initiating the breakup.
So like, which is confusing for I, who's like who was actually
not in love with who? And then she meets May and feels

(02:28:33):
all this love coming from May that's directed at Oom.
But then when May talks about her relationship with OOM, she's
like well you, we have this big fight and you told me to leave.
Which sounds like a breakup definitely, right?
Sounds like UMM broke up with her, right?

(02:28:54):
So should I feel guilty about any of this really?
Because like UMM asked her to goand break up with May.
So when it comes to like her loyalty towards UMM and feeling
guilty, I mean, should she feel guilty towards UMM, UMM was
like, please go break up with her.
So like, there should be no build on that side.

(02:29:15):
But there seems to be some of that still.
That's a good thing to bring up again.
Like she was literally sent there to break up with her, so
why is it a bad thing for her to?
I mean, I guess because it's hersister's ex now, but she's.
Yeah, but I think that. So I think there's that.
But then the bigger thing that'smore obvious right now is that,

(02:29:35):
like, she's deceiving May because May thinks she's.
Yeah. And she's having feelings for
herself. And then she's like, but she's
clearly in love with Oom. Even though Oom was throwing her
out like trash. She's still in love with Oom.
But yeah, like, it's just something I is, is is like the

(02:29:57):
devoted big sister. But then, like, is lying to May.
And I think the lying to May is the part that's starting to
outweigh all the Oom stuff at this stage where she's like,
she's throwing all this love at me, but it's not for me.
It's for umm, who didn't want her.
And what is this? Basically, there is this is such

(02:30:19):
a short scene with just her alone, but there is so much
going on through her head between this like guiltiness and
I mean, again, when you brought up like these feelings are new,
that is very important to keep in mind too because feelings are

(02:30:42):
very confusing. I don't even understand who can
you even understand feelings? What is feeling right?
But the way she acts in this scene too reads to me as
frustration. And I think she's just also
frustrated that she's gotten this far in still being

(02:31:03):
pretending to be, not knowing where to go either.
Which how do you. It's like when she was trying to
figure out how to let May know that she was staring at her
putting lotion on. Like, how do I get myself out of
this? Like, how do you get out of the
situation? But you're lying to someone

(02:31:24):
you're falling in love with. Right.
Exactly. Yeah, It's impossible.
It's an impossible situation. Oh girl.
So. Mae then says Oom to get her
attention at to come in to help zip up her outfit and the Mae's

(02:31:48):
face when I goes to zip her up is proof that she picked this
shirt just so she could get I closer to her.
Yes, another way to flirt with her because yeah, put your hand
really close to my back, Fill meup.
I have a whole thing about this.But yeah, her face was just like

(02:32:09):
yay, eyes close to me. Just yeah, cuz that was for no
one's benefit. That was just amazing, amazing
reaction. Like eyes nearby.
But also I look so defeated while she's zipping her up.
And then goes on to ask her how she forgave her as soon as she

(02:32:34):
came back. And so fixated on that, too.
Yeah. And it's like she's forcefully
trying to get her back into the mission because of Pang.
So like, it's that flashback wasjust in her head.
Still makes sense. The flashbacks they're playing
in her head. So I need, she needs to stick to

(02:32:55):
the mission, don't get distracted.
And so a lot of times that I is forgetting that she's supposed
to be in this scene, she's not. So everything May is saying to
her is bittersweet because, yeah, they're very sweet things,
but she knows they're not for her.
She desperately wants it to be about her, but she knows they're

(02:33:18):
for OOM, even though they're not.
But that's, no, they're not. It's just always the caveat we
have to put in there because they're not, They're not so
funny. OK.
And then, OK, so then May's response is amazing where she's
like, well, our, you know, the way I feel is kind of like those

(02:33:39):
songs on the radio. You ever hear songs where
they're like love songs? They're like, you had me at
hello. She's like, that's how I feel
felt when we were reunited. That's also how May felt about I
the first time they met also. So like you had me at hello.
It was basically May's point of view about their relationship,
which really doesn't answer I's question because she's basically

(02:34:01):
just like it's love at first sight for me and therefore
everything you do is forgivable.Which is not a super healthy way
to navigate a relationship if you really think about that.
Like May, if UMM does some fucked up shit it's OK to be mad
at her. You don't need to forgive her.
You can talk about it like adults.
But anyway. So then after she delivers that

(02:34:24):
line, she that's when she fully turns around to face I and then
I gets gets the view from the front and it's like you dress up
really nicely. So I this is flirting what
you're doing. Like you're actively flirting
with me right now. This is not part of the UMM

(02:34:45):
disguise. She walked into this scenario OK
after having the flashback beinglike she's in love with UMM,
here's I actively flirting back with me.
So like she did this to yourself?
So May of course flirts back because she's pleased that I
finds her attractive because that was the goal all along with

(02:35:06):
these two scenes. So because if you think about
it, May is pulling out every power move she possibly can
because she doesn't know if I isinto her.
She has no idea if she's eyes type.
She doesn't know that she knows how she feels and she knows that
she's not in love with UMM, but like, so there's still a level

(02:35:30):
of uncertainty for May to navigate, even though she's
like, oh, this is the one that changed my life.
She doesn't know how I feel. So it's like A and May is doing
everything she can to be like, are you into me?
So let's think about what she just did.
She's like comes out of the bathroom and she's like, I'll
just show eye my legs really quickly under the guise of

(02:35:52):
putting lotion on. So she's like, here's my legs,
I'm putting lotion on. And then she's like, I come into
the closet. Please look at my bare back and
my bra while you zip me up. And now look at the view from
the front eye. If May could see she would have
bagged eye on day one. That's all I'm saying because
like I stood no chance in any ofthese scenes.
Like May was like giving her a 360 view of everything and being

(02:36:15):
like, do you like what you see? I and then I was like, you dress
up nicely and then I responds asif she's into her because she
is. So May wins in this scene,
basically. So what does I do?
I calls her Princess again. That's the nickname she just
organically came up with for May.

(02:36:36):
So she starts pet naming her like, I, you did all this to
yourself. Nobody.
This is not part of the mission.You're just doing this.
But this time is really interesting.
So the full line that she says is you look like a Princess
fleeing her palace. So there's more imagery to the
nickname than just the pet name.She's gifting May.

(02:36:57):
And this line struck me as really interesting.
So if you take this line and couple that with in episode 1,
when Mae kisses her and we get the poetry and buys Brain of
like their first kiss, you know,it's more evidence to me that
Mae's eyes muse. OK, so this is something that's

(02:37:21):
unconditional unconsciously happening to I where she's
coming alive when she's around May and you can see it in this
scene. She's glowing in this scene and
literally like in the scene whenshe's talking to me and she's
like, you look like a Princess. She's bouncing, like, on her
heels, like, she's like an excited child, right?
And like, we noticed a couple oftimes throughout this scene,

(02:37:42):
like, she gets more playful whenshe's around Mae.
And like, the way she's describing this moment is very
creative sounding. She's not just being like, yeah,
you look hot. She's, like, poetically
describing Mae in the scene. And the more time she spends
with me, the more this kind of part of her personality comes

(02:38:02):
out. And what I love too about the
conclusion of this little dialogue that they're having is
that it we get a glimpse of how Mae really does compliment I.
Not only does she inspire I unconsciously, she also
compliments I because she plays right along with this story that
I is saying on the spot. She's like, oh, you're the

(02:38:23):
Princess fleeing the palace. And I and then Mae basically
says, well, you better wear a crown and be my Prince is
basically what she says. And so like, she's playing along
with this story that I is free, you know, fan fictioning right
in front of her. And I love this because May is
is basically not only the personthat plants the seed plant, like

(02:38:45):
reignites I's passion for storytelling.
She's also is the muse that getsI to tell her own stories again.
And like, it kind of comes out of this, this the Princess fairy
tale imagery she's crafting withMay, which later translates to
the actual novel that she writes.
So I thought that was really cute and a clever way to do

(02:39:06):
that. Just a really great way for them
to bond to. It's really cute.
Goes back to your, like, storytelling bonds you and.
And they're just, they're reallycute.
They're super fucking cute. And then we go to where I is

(02:39:28):
supposed to help Nate put on hermakeup.
But first we make sure to get a shot.
Yeah, we make sure to get a shotof the countless candles that
are lit around the room, which begs the question once more.
Who lit the? Candles.
Seriously, who is lighting all these fucking candles on the

(02:39:49):
Thai girl love shows? Who lights them?
They're not big candles. The other question is what is
the candle budget valid? But also, just a quick shout out
to Patreon member White Cat 112,who asked for who lit the
candles merch. Ask and you shall receive merch

(02:40:12):
coming soon. We already picked out the
candles. So that's the that's the
progress so far. But back to the makeup scene.
I love how much I is freaking out about having to do maze
makeup because she's worried about making it ugly.
And it's just. She's not a huge makeup person,

(02:40:33):
no. And so it's like.
You don't really work with makeup much and then you're
asked to put it on someone else and it's just like, I don't know
what I'm doing. I would not know what.
To do, I'm like. Sure.
I think this goes here. Yeah, this is I being honest

(02:40:54):
because like Om is a makeup girlie so like Om would have no
issue with us, but I was like, I'm not Om.
So what if I fuck it up? May?
What if I fuck it up? And of course, may who's just
like I don't really care what you do.
I just want you near me and to stare at me.
And she's like, as long as I'm pretty to you, that's all that
matters. And I if I was smooth, she would

(02:41:15):
have been like then you don't need makeup.
You're beautiful no matter what,but I wouldn't perfect.
I is not at that level of smoothness.
So instead she like keeps going with the Princess thing where
she tells her you're a sweet talker Princess, which like
she's a lawyer, she's obviously a sweet talker.
But like anyway, she keeps running with the Princess story,

(02:41:37):
which I think is important because this is just, this is
another interaction where I is literally being I.
Like she's not being UMM, she's being I.
She's crafting this fairy tale about the two of them as they're
living their life, which is a very creative minded thing to
do. Umm would never is what I'm
saying. And then, OK, so then I was

(02:41:59):
like, OK, I guess I'll give thisa shot.
And so she like this would have been a great product placement
scene. I'm also surprised this wasn't.
But yeah, it's they've done multiple things now in this
episode that proved that they could have.
They could have did. Natural product placements
within the episode. Yeah.

(02:42:19):
But anyway, here we are. So I goes to like do Mae's
eyebrows essentially, and Mae islike, oh, OK, great, we're
starting. And then just cannot help
herself and like she grabs on the eye's leg again.
It's like, girl, was this necessary?
And that's what I'm saying like any excuse to just feel up eye.
She's like, Yep, I'm blind eye. I'm just I'm blind.

(02:42:41):
I don't like she just takes advantage of that so much and
eyes like she's blind. Yes, it's fine.
There was no need for that otherthan May wanted to touch eye,
which is valid. I just find it really funny that
eye does not clock any of that. She's like, I guess this is what
blind people do. It's just trying to fill her up.

(02:43:01):
That's so funny. It's just amazing.
But, you know, it's a, it's a May gay thing.
A May gay thing. Oh, my God.
So of course, when putting someone's makeup on, you have to
lean a breath away from their face while you're doing it.
So I starts doing that. And then the OST you mentioned
earlier, a princess's tail starts playing.

(02:43:23):
This is the first time we hear it in the show, which is why I
brought it up here. So plays in this scene, which
the lead up to this scene is thewhole you're a Princess running
away and my I keeps calling her a Princess.
And then as the song is playing,she's like, May really did
become a Princess for me. I'm putting her crown on and
like all this stuff. So she's writing the fairy tale

(02:43:45):
of the two of them as the song is playing.
And if you listen to that song and or watch the music video,
like it's basically about this. So I'm like, did Eyes Brain
manifest the song and the music video is my question.
Because it's very like a story that's being told about these

(02:44:06):
two women, but in a fantastical way.
I mean, yeah, because we hear like journal entries going on
underneath scenes like this. So maybe that's that's a really
good catch too. Yeah.
Because like you said, like whatwas it about?
It was about like my duty is to like take out this woman from

(02:44:30):
I's point of view. And then like she does it
because she falls in love with her and like gives up the
mission. And it's basically like
literally what ends up happeningwith I in May.
And I think what the first, her first novel was about in in the
show, I say in the show, becausein the novel it's another story
and we'll talk about that later.But yeah, by the way, I was not

(02:44:53):
ready for this music video and how it opens.
Oh, my God. No, my, yeah, my first thought.
Oh, my God, Theorists want me towatch it.
So I watch. I'm not a music video person, so
I don't typically watch these things.
And I immediately when it started, I'm like, oh, and then

(02:45:15):
I was like, what in the bodyguard AU is this?
Yeah. So if you haven't, we won't
spoil it. Go watch the music video because
you're I wasn't ready for how this opened.
And I was like, what is this? Where is this show?
But then it's like, I'm like, I'm pretty sure this is eyes
brain manifesting her and May's story as a music video because
it pops up here when she's manifesting that story about

(02:45:39):
them. Anyway, you're welcome.
If you haven't seen it, go watchthat music video.
It's fantastic. It is.
OK, so back to the scene. So during this makeup tutorial,
I guess I starts mentioning mentions in the journal entry.
Basically that's the voice over it that May became a Princess in

(02:46:00):
her mind. So like a Princess is like
special, precious, powerful, coveted, all those kinds of
things. And she might, she clarifies,
not because she's hot and has money.
That's just a bonus. It's because May has this rare
virtue that I hasn't hasn't encountered in another person
before. So it's like, again,
confirmation that like I see as May, like for who she is, it has

(02:46:23):
nothing to do with like how May looks on paper like the
superficial stuff, like it's about who May is as a person.
That's what I is, like, attracted to and cannot get out
of her head. But I like, wonder, like, what
is the virtue exactly she's talking about?
Because she doesn't elaborate onthat.

(02:46:46):
That's a good question. Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what
she's talking about. I think it's like, it could be
May's kindness. May's like willingness to like
express love that, you know, a lot of people don't do her

(02:47:08):
vulnerability with. I like, I'm not entirely sure
what exactly the virtue is, but yeah, I mean, I don't know what
she. Means, but The thing is.
May's not fully being herself with I because she's not.
She's telling her everything so.I don't.

(02:47:28):
I'm like is. Even what she thinks right now.
True. I mean.
OK, so I'm going to be stupid for a second.
Can you tell me what virtue means?
Virtue is like a quality. OK.

(02:47:51):
So maybe just like the strength she has.
Like the strength. Keep going, they gave.
Me that may has a lot, which I if that's what the virtue is.
The irony is the strength came from I so eyes in love with
herself. You heard of your first one, but
it could be that her strength may had to want to take on that

(02:48:14):
enough to change and be that strong person.
So it easily was. She just needed that
encouragement, right? I was her muse in a way.
That's what makes them fun. I was the muse to like defend
yourself. And then I and then Maze eyes
muse to like be creative. So OK, so that's what they need.

(02:48:41):
I know they're compliments whichmakes them fun.
So in this scene I for sure has feelings for May.
Like she cannot stop smiling. She's so focused on May she
stares at her lips for like at least 10 seconds and it's so
obvious that shame May can't see.

(02:49:02):
And she says in the the voice over that she was starting to
believe that May is a gift that UMM gave her, which is true.
And the full line is without realizing it, I became selfish
to your point, caught up in the idea that May as a gift a boom
had given to me. I mean, and again, it literally

(02:49:26):
happened. And it's still insane that that
is what happened. I know I can't get over that
that is actually the plot, but it is my favorite part of this
interaction. There's a lot of fun stuff in
here, but my favorite part is when I start staring at at when
eyes, eyes gaze drop to May's lips.

(02:49:50):
She's not even doing anything with the makeup anymore.
Like the makeup is just like she's not even doing anything.
She's just holding it against May's hair, and it's just
staring at her mouth. And it's like, girl, maybe
that's her way for May to because, like, May can't see her
staring at her lips, but becauseshe stops, maybe May can.

(02:50:12):
Well, May can't feel May, can't feel her putting the eyebrow
makeup on anymore. So, like, I just stopped and it
doesn't say anything. Yeah, it's confusing.
But I don't know if she'd still sense that she's close because,
like, she didn't, like, go away or anything or shift anything.
So she's still staring at her. So I'm like, maybe that's her

(02:50:33):
indication that oh, maybe she's staring somewhere else.
Then I think that's what May is left to infer.
Cuz like, like again, like the brush is against her hair.
So like, May can still kind of feel eyes near her and I think
her hands resting on her chin for like, precision and like, no
eyes, just staring very gaily atMay not doing the makeup.

(02:50:57):
And it's just what an icon because like, girl, like, what
was that? And then May that has to be must
know. That has to be so frustrating
for May, though, because yeah, she might know, but she can
never know for sure. Exactly.
Oh, exactly. And it's just amazing that May,
who must be dying to know what Iis doing, cannot know.

(02:51:18):
And, like, she doesn't show it, though.
She doesn't. If she's frustrated, she doesn't
show it. Which, like, the amount of
control and restraint from May is remarkable, if that is indeed
what is going on with May, whichit has to be.
And like, I isn't very good at really communicating how she's
feeling. She's very body language.

(02:51:39):
Yeah, she can't, but she's very much action oriented rather than
verbalize everything. So that is something that she
would have to change and adapt to her May to actually
understand what is happening. I mean luckily spoiler, I mean

(02:52:02):
you know exactly because you watch the show but but also May.
Is able to. See her again later so.
That's helpful. But yeah, this, it has to be
super frustrating. I mean, May does smile a lot.
So I think maybe she's just hoping I staring at her, you

(02:52:23):
know? Yeah, I think there's a lot of
hope and just being like, right,confidence in her that I can't
resist. Yes, confidence is an attractive
quality. That is true.
That is true. But.
I was definitely had to be staring at May's lips for so

(02:52:44):
long because we crossfade from the scene into the next one.
So the only plausible explanation is that we were
doing this for at least 10 minutes, right?
At least that's valid. Like, I doesn't know how to put
makeup on to begin with and thenshe doesn't have any thoughts in

(02:53:05):
this scene. They're gone now.
No thoughts, just gay. No thoughts, just gay.
So they go from this daring scene where again, May doesn't
actually know what's happening to I and May sneaking out of

(02:53:26):
May's house. And I love how May is just
walking normally while I is the one like trying to duck down a
little bit so Todd doesn't see them leave.
And I mean like. May is rightfully stone not
ducking because it doesn't do anything.
It's not like I is crouching down very low to, like, be very

(02:53:51):
sneaky. It's very slight ducking down.
Also, Todd's back is towards them.
I know. Does it matter?
Listen, I was trying to be a secret agent.
Yeah, she's mad at it. Like a better spy.
Yeah, exactly. You do what you have to do.

(02:54:11):
She had the initial possible music in her brain when she was
doing this. And Mae's like, he can't stop
me, it's fine. Anyway.
So yeah, they walk past him and then the key information from
Tan is that Tan is on the on thephone with Mae's dad and
basically he is the one because the confirmation, he is the one
keeping tabs on her and reporting it back to her father.

(02:54:39):
Sorry and but he's also like talking about her health and
treatment without me being in the room.
So it's like one thing to be controlling with her present,
but it's even more disrespectfulfor her not even to be in the
room to know what you're talkingabout in regards to her own

(02:55:02):
body. Yeah.
It's the Todd is not painted as a great person or a benevolent
person in this episode, No. Or at least this episode when
we're introduced to him, we're led to believe this is one of
the worst people. Also, like from previous shows,

(02:55:25):
that's usually how it goes. So we're like fully, fully on
board with that. Yeah.
All right. Then they Mission Impossible
their way into the garage, basically.
And May realizes that I is leading her out of the garage

(02:55:46):
and she's like, wait, girl, aren't we going to take?
I thought without, when you hatched this plan, we were going
to get in my chariot, AKA at oneof the cars in the garage.
Why are we leaving? Because she she looks real, real
nervous about this. And I was like, girl, that would
be again, street smart eyes. Like if we steal a car, he's
going to know what we did and it's easier to track US or

(02:56:06):
whatever. So we can't do that.
We got to disappear into the night or whatever, like Batman
or some shit. And May looks genuinely nervous
when I says this and. Because.
May might not be afraid to go about life normally because,
again, that's part of her argument that she doesn't have

(02:56:28):
to move home. But it doesn't mean that if she
can avoid an unknown situation, she's not going to like this.
Yeah, like, it's obviously better for her to not go into an
unknown situation if she doesn'thave to.
But I is telling her that it's it's necessary right now.

(02:56:53):
Yeah. So for me for like all her
bravado of being like, I'm a strong independent woman, like
it is scary for her to go outside and be disabled in an
abled bodied world basically. Like it is difficult and does
make me feel other. And all this kind of stuff that
we'll get into. Like the next half of the
episode is basically about like we, we get to walk in her shoes

(02:57:15):
a little bit as what it's like to be disabled in Thailand.
Essentially. It's kind of like the gist of
the next episode, but like we'releading up to that.
And you can see that Mae is unnerved by having to do that.
And I think that I notices Mae'suneasy because I's body language
completely shifts the minute sherecognizes it.
And thanks to our conversation earlier with Tawn, I knows again

(02:57:40):
in her brain knows now, Mae doesn't leave the mansion often.
So she and she is an empathetic person and towards people she
cares about. So I think she's like, oh, Mae
is nervous. I have to make her not feel
nervous. So like, to your point, and you
know, Nam Tam is a full body actor.
So what is I do in this situation?
So she shows May with her body language again, May can't see,

(02:58:01):
but this is a reflection of eyesfeelings.
What I does is she gets low, like she gets on May's eye
level, even like slightly lower,but she's trying to get on May's
level. So she leans close until their
eyes are level and takes both ofMay's hands to like show her
with her body. Like I, it's like I'm.
It's like I'm with you is what she's doing, like with her body
language, by grabbing her hands and getting them at eye levels,

(02:58:24):
being like, I'm not talking downto you, I'm with you.
I'm on your level. Like she does that with her
body, which she can't make, can't see.
But yeah, she's making sure thatthey're on an equal playing
field. Yeah.
And because part of it is I hereis telling May what to do.
And she doesn't want to want Mayto feel like she is undermining

(02:58:50):
what she wants. She wants her to know that that
she does understand where she's coming from.
Like just This is why they they can't take the car.
So by her doing this, she's, she's connecting with her and
making sure that she knows that she's coming from a good place

(02:59:14):
rather than the controlling people in her life.
They're like, no, you can't do that.
Yeah. Because yeah, I, it was a good
point because I just saw what her family is like.
Her cousin seems controlling, the dad seems controlling.
So yeah, I is trying to separatethat and be like, I'm not trying
to control you. It's just that I'm a street

(02:59:34):
smart in this scenario. Please listen to me.
It's basically what she's doing,which is it's really sweet
coming from I and after eye doesthat we get this really quick
shot before May starts responding where a where May
leans into eye space and the shot is basically very washed
out with this white light. And it's real quick before we

(02:59:58):
like go back to like the other shot we're looking at.
And it to me, it feels like thisdreamlike quality.
Because this is part of the fantasy, right?
That's like the, you know, thinkabout it.
It's like I got the Princess, they snuck out of the castle
past the guards and now like they have to just get past the
gate so they can go on their magical adventure.

(03:00:19):
And so it looks fantastical because that's the lead up of
the story. They're going on an adventure
basically according to I's brainand May jumped into the fantasy
with I and and it's basically like tells her like with you,
I'm willing to go anywhere, which is true.
And you know how fantastical to hear.
And then I is like the biggest confidence boost ever, which is

(03:00:42):
maybe so being like I trust you implicitly.
I basically, which I don't thinkanybody really trusts.
I like or she doesn't feel trust.
It's like full trust from a lot of people.
So like this meant a lot. This person who cannot navigate
outside of these castle walls without her is basically saying
like, but I trust you to Take MeOut there.
Like that's what a level of trust that she's feeling.

(03:01:04):
And so I smiles and then I love the way she gets all playful
when they're going to leave and she like, turns around like a
soldier, like a knight or whatever in shining armor.
Like it's May's arm and it's like narrow, narrow hallway.
Let's go like and like leads herout with all it.
She stands up straight for like the first time ever.
And it's just it's really cute to see.

(03:01:25):
I respond to that from May and it's just May telling her like,
you know, I trust you. That's all it took.
And it was like, I like, like, glows the minute she hears that
and just gets all playful and back into, like, the knight in
shining armor, which is really cute.
It's kind of like, I mean, the way you said that, like, no one

(03:01:46):
really trusts her. But with May say yeah, fully.
And with May saying this one thing, it really changed her
demeanor, like going back to howyou were talking about that.
I's advice to May like changed her trajectory in life like

(03:02:07):
this. They again, it's just been going
back to their they complement each other.
They're they really make each other better.
They do they don't knock each other down like some
relationships. So while these two are heading
to the bus stop, we go over to Iactually don't know which whose

(03:02:29):
place we're in. I think we're at Pang's place
and like Pang is still in bed sleeping and Officer Heidi's
like girl, I got to go work. But this is where we learn that
Officer and hottie, Officer, Hottie and Tang are together,
which mind blown the the first time we watched it.

(03:02:50):
OK. And like it starts with pay with
dogs or hottie being like checking Pang's phone.
So like they've been together for a while.
That's like level of dress. And she checks the text that
comes through and it's from I and I was like, I'm going to
take Mae to your shop because there's lots of trees and I was
reading this and I was like, is I taking her there hoping may

(03:03:11):
would like run into trees, like to test the blindness, Like what
was like the like when out of context, the text reads is
really weird because in Pang's brain, they're still doing the
is may and nefarious. They're still kind of like
paying at least is on that page.But I was like, I this is a
really weird thing to bring up. So it kind of like, it could
read like that from Pang, who still thinks May is suspicious.

(03:03:35):
I clarified later in the episodethat's not why she said that.
She's like, I thought trees would be peaceful.
But like, when you read this from Pang's point of view, she'd
be like, oh, yeah, yeah. Testing the blindness.
Got it, Got it. I because like, this is so
weird. The way she phrased it with no
context, the wording is just weird in general.
But I. I have to say this.
Is another moment where I've watched this multiple times and

(03:03:57):
momentarily forgot about that That was the second scene.
Yeah, I know me too and I was like I keep not reading the lots
of trees line yes, and I and so when I looked at the note I was
dying. I was like Oh my God, I and

(03:04:18):
right now I mean it does seem topang that it's like eyes way of
proving that she didn't forget about the mission.
Yeah, exactly. Or at least that I is playing
the double agent and and like she's she could be just making
Pang think that, which, you know, still could be.

(03:04:40):
And then she could just be like,Oh no, it was, they're peaceful.
But no, I do feel for paying a bit when she she learns that I
is taking Mae to her shop because that again, I doesn't
know about paying her feelings at this point and is doing, Oh

(03:05:05):
my God, rubbing it in so bad. I know that from paying's point
of view, that's what it must feel like.
Yeah, it's just, it's just so. Rough like she now.
She's like, fully flaunting it in front of her.
Yes, that's what it feel must feel like for paying anyway.

(03:05:29):
Yeah. So that that's really shitty.
And then basically paying gets really absorbed in the mission
because like you said, May is her enemy for many reasons.
And so she's like, OK, I'm goingto prove this.
I'm going to get into this bowl.And then poor Officer Hottie's,
like, I don't even know what thefuck is going on in this
conversation, but she's like trying to engage with paying and
like be affectionate and stuff. And like Ping ignores her.

(03:05:52):
And it's like Officer Hottie deserves so much better as a
character. And that was, I will stand by
that. GMMTV, you did her so dirty in
the show and she deserves better.
That is very true because Pang doesn't give her the time of
day. No, we and we never see Pang and
Hadi at a place in the relationship where they are both

(03:06:14):
in love, that the rift is alwaysthere from when we see them and
in the present. Yeah, yeah, in the present and
Hadi, it just like it seems likeis the filling the gap for her
feelings for I and Pang does at least let Officer Hadi in on the

(03:06:36):
theory that she has that May is pretending to be blind.
So she is very, very convinced about this theory that she's
willing to tell Officer Hadi, but just other people in general
like this May. May is pretending.
I love that Officer Hadi's like,this sounds like a fantasy

(03:06:56):
because, yeah, it sounds made-upand fantastical, but then, like,
paying is clearly fixated on this.
And I love that. Like, poor Officer Hadi tries to
be like, the supportive girlfriend at the end.
And she's like, well, I hope youfind whatever it is you're
looking to find Paying. I hope you're happy with
whatever happened. You mean that sincerely?
She's being sincere about it. She's like, I hope this works
out or whatever. Like, love you.

(03:07:17):
Even though she clearly doesn't get it.
She's like, this is weird, but whatever makes you happy, I
guess. Yeah.
I mean, Officer Hottie, again, Ifeel bad.
Just you, you deserve so much better.
I focused more on Officer Hadi in the scene because we know we
just saw, like, Pang and like, what's going on.

(03:07:38):
Yeah, fair with her. So at one point, Hadi keeps
grabbing her own arm. It's it's you see it twice, and
it's very quick. But grabbing your arm is a sign
of anxiety or uneasiness, especially if it's tight.
This. The way she does it, it kind of

(03:07:59):
looks like she's holding her armloosely, which could signal a
need for comfort. Which is definitely plausible
considering that she repeatedly tries to get physical affection
from Pang. But again, Pang is too focused

(03:08:19):
on the mission she's making up for eyes lack of focus.
On the mission. Yes, both are not good.
I mean the eye situation that's more complicated, but being
absorbed into this is not going well for their relationship.
And she puts her arm on her to be connected to her, like try to

(03:08:44):
like break her out of this focusthat she has on her phone and
the conversation with I. And she does keep her hand
connected most of the time whileshe's saying goodbye.
And she also has to remind Hang that she is leaving multiple
times because Hang barely reactsto her saying goodbye and that

(03:09:11):
she's leaving that the physical touch, she does not react at
all. So it doesn't seem like Hadi is
getting like any comfort from her in general or any physical
or emotional intimacy from her. So she's she's alone.

(03:09:31):
She is alone in the scene, even though she's right next to Pang
because Pang's too wrapped up aneye.
Yeah, that hits the nail on the head.
Like I just, and, and again, seeing the seeing the scene
earlier at work, she also seems like she's alone at work too.
So I just feel really bad for Officer Hadi.
She just feels she's a Pluto character.

(03:09:51):
Again, she's a Pluto, which is unfortunate because she deserves
better. And Speaking of Pluto, So the
last thing I kind of want to talk about with the scene is I
want to talk about the concept of orbit that I brought up in
the first episode as it relates to like the throuple that should
have been which was paying officer Hadi and Jan.

(03:10:12):
So those three and how orbit plays into their relationship
with each other. So in GMFTV land the end game
ship is Pang and Jan. None of this happens in the
novel. This is a purely GMFTV thing and
the reason we get to Pang and Jan as the end game ship for
GMMTVS version is that these three characters are all

(03:10:36):
orbiting each other and the Pluto's of the show, Officer
Hiding and Oom are the ones thatbring everybody together.
But they get forgotten in the end, which is so sad and
heartbreaking. But that is literally what
happens and it's very subtle with this relationship here, the
orbiting thing, but it does happen.
So think about it. What we know up till now is that

(03:10:57):
Jan is Oom's best friend and herbest friend gets into this
possibly shady car accident. And Jan has been Umm's best
friend for years, which means she's been peripherally in Eyes
Orbit, OK? And Eyes Orbit contains her best
friend, Ping, right? So they've been like on the
periphery of each other for a while, but then so they don't

(03:11:20):
naturally interact. So then what happens is like Jan
goes after Umm's car accident case and the person in charge is
Officer Hottie, right? And Officer Hottie is dating
Jan. So then I mean, is dating Ping.
So then like she brings like Janinto the mix with Ping a little
bit because so then they're kindof like orbiting each other a

(03:11:42):
little bit without interacting. And then you think about like,
yeah, I and her best friend Ping.
OK, so then I gets brought into the mission with Officer Hottie
because of the whole like Car X that thing, and then through I
pain gets involved in Umm's case, hence her investigating
May, which is her girlfriend's case.

(03:12:03):
It's weird. They don't connect the dots in
the scene that I'm talking aboutyour case, but like, again,
because they're orbiting but notlike really colliding with each
other, nobody's colliding and colliding is communicating, OK?
And then by meddling in this case on AI's behalf, she then
gets brought into Jan's orbit. And that's how Pang and Jan like
interact. And then they start interacting

(03:12:25):
more and more because AI is like, you need to help me with
umm. And then like all of those
shenanigans. And then they start like they
start interacting and then Officer Hadi gets brought more
into and like just the way thesetwo keep like all these three of
them keep like orbiting each other.
And then like eventually OfficerHadi gets like kicked out of the
solar system and it's just Jan and ping Pluto.

(03:12:49):
She's Pluto, she's another Pluto.
Which is why I was so convinced that Officer Hadi and Umr going
to end up together because I'm like, they're two Plutos that
would get each other so well. And GMMTV did not give us that.
But I wish they did. This sounds like an orbiting
murder board. The aura.
That's. No, it does.
But like it's just fun to watch like their storylines and it's

(03:13:10):
like they get close to each other, but they don't ever quite
meet and then eventually they meet.
That's what I mean by orbit. You can just see the way like
they were in the periphery of each other's lives but didn't
realize it until like pivotal moments where like they come
into contact like Jan and Ping and are like, oh, and then they
don't like stay there. They like go back out and then
like eyes like, no, no, no, backin the, umm, drama and Officer

(03:13:33):
Hadi's case. And then they come back and
like, that's how they kind of keep meeting each other and
interacting. So it's like interesting to see
that that's that like orbit concept.
Yeah, true. And to even show the orbit more
is with the next microscopic scene we get is with Jan texting

(03:13:57):
I how she's going to see OfficerHottie again.
So we just got the Officer Hottie and Pang scene.
And now. Exactly.
That's what I mean. These back-to-back scenes are
orbit. Yeah.
You're just like, yeah, exactly.It's because Theor is so good at
seeing things like this. GMMTV did this shit on purpose
and their screenwriters are brilliant.

(03:14:23):
So from the orbiting with the throuple that's that's that's
that's a messy situation. Later we go to the bus ride and
so back to I and May. They are waiting for the bus and
as the bus is approaching, thereis a handicap accessibility

(03:14:47):
sticker that is conveniently placed on the windshield.
So it gets bigger and bigger in the frame as the bus gets
closer. And I just thought that was
interesting. And on this bus ride we see the
biggest reason that May didn't want to deal with the bus and

(03:15:08):
wanted to just take the car. And she tells I that she doesn't
like riding the bus usually. So the ticket.
Person comes up and I tells him where they're going.
He tells them 40 baht is the price and that it's half, half

(03:15:31):
price for the blind. And I love that he has to say
that really loudly in the bus. Like, I mean, it is for the
audience to know and like this whole conversation to happen.
But. OK.
And then he asked for May's disabled person ID, which May

(03:15:55):
refuses, and she argues that he can clearly see that she's
blind, but he tells her that those are the rules, like he
needs to see the ID in order to give her the discount for the
ticket. And because there are lots of
cons these days, which is valid because people do take advantage

(03:16:18):
of things like this and they will take advantage of anything
if there's a loophole. Lawyers, I was aware of that,
but she's also having to deal with this on a daily basis of
having to prove that she is disabled.
So Mae is like, do I look like acon artist to you?
And I love this line and the whyshe says this because this is

(03:16:42):
bringing us back to the topic athand too and really sums up this
entire episode because it reminds an eye of her mission
once more too. And while May is saying this, I
puts her hand on May's thigh to comfort her and part of me

(03:17:03):
thinks that I is uncomfortable. This is the first time I is
experiencing what May has to experience out in public.
And also May isn't afraid to have this confrontation.
So I feel like she's just, I doesn't know how to act in the
situation because for her it's easy to just be like, Oh yeah,

(03:17:24):
here's my ID if someone asks forsomething like to verify age or
anything because that's what sheis used.
To but this. Is me having to prove that what
she is telling someone is true what she is like physically
disabled like the words have left.

(03:17:49):
It's like so OK, so think think about it like leading up to this
paying her best friend is still on this thing of like, I don't
think she's really blind. I think you're being deceived.
So then to go into this interaction where what May is
going through is pretty humiliating actually, and least
that and that is how May feels about it.
And I think I can see that or sense that a little bit that

(03:18:09):
like May is really agitated by this.
So why on earth would she pretend to be blind to then put
herself in this uncomfortable situation that makes her
uncomfortable? So I think the whole Ping Pang's
theory is going out the window more, even more so in eyes brain
just watching this interaction. And then I is accidentally
ableist after the dude goes awayand she's like, well May is it

(03:18:35):
really that bad to show the, youknow, the stable person ID card?
Cuz like you would have got the discount that interaction would
have been avoided if you had just shown the card, right?
Like show them your papers basically is what she's saying.
And I love this conversation because it goes to show through
I's point of view how able bodied people take for granted
how the world is easier to navigate in ways I doesn't even

(03:18:58):
realize. Like show me your papers.
Like that's very invasive actually and kind of fucked up,
right? Because that's exactly what May
says May's. Like do you have to show an ID
to prove you're not disabled? Like people don't believe you or
you have to show them your papers.
Like that's a second class citizen thing is to like, show

(03:19:19):
me your papers, right? Like that's what Mae's really
getting at here. And what I love about AI's
reaction to this is she sits with what Mae says and like she
listens and then processes it. OK.
Because I don't think I again, as an able bodied person who's
probably never interacted with another disabled person, eyes

(03:19:39):
never seen the world through that point of view.
So it's just like you don't knowwhat you don't know kind of
thing. And so eyes like, huh, like
thinking about this for the for the very first time, which I
assume is probably what happenedto me when she became blind and
had to start experiencing the world first hand as a non able
bodied person. I was like, oh shit.
Like look at all these hurdles Ididn't even realize were right

(03:20:01):
in front of me because I never saw them because they never
applied to me. It's like that privilege thing.
You just didn't realize you wereprivileged.
And that's like I was learning that in this moment.
Yeah. It's kind of like a you can't
know what you don't know. Like they you can't live that.
So you don't really know how their lives are.

(03:20:24):
But with being able to see it first hand, like there's no
denying that May's point is incredibly valid.
Yes. And after this, I glances at her
phone that's in her bag and thentry, is it made?
OK, It just May. Yeah, it's May's bag cuz she's

(03:20:45):
carried. Then let's throw that whole
thing out. Yeah.
So basically this is like back-to-back to the mission shot
because why is she here? Because they're, again, the plot
with Jan is to call the number from the police report and prove
that it was May. So she's figured out a scenario
where she has May's phone and she's checking it to be like, is
Jan going to call? Is it May?

(03:21:07):
So, like, again, but it's not adding up because, like, if May
was bullshitting all this, why would she put herself in the
situation that makes her uncomfortable?
And like, she has a legitimate. But like, it could be that,
like, she doesn't have a disabled ID's card and she's
lying about it and being defensive.
Like if it were paying in the scenario, she'd be like, bitch,
you don't have a card. Like, you know what I mean?

(03:21:29):
You're faking. Like, you know, Penguin handled
this situation very differently if it was paying in May.
Yeah, my first read was that I was like, oh, she doesn't want
to show it. Maybe she isn't blind.
But I mean, there's just so muchgoing on.
You can never know exactly what a character's thinking because

(03:21:49):
they're not going to say it out loud.
It's very we're, we infer a lot on the podcast, just so people
know. Yeah, but we use body language
and other stuff like that. Yeah, but we will you know, the
drama of is mayor isn't she blind will continue when we get
to the next part when paying does show up and we get a
different different scenario. But that concludes the first

(03:22:12):
part of episode 2 of Pluto the series.
You're welcome for this lengthy episode.
Hope you enjoyed. Before we sign out, I think it's
time to discuss Taylor Swift songs.
So the two that I came up with that fit for this part of the
episode are today was a fairy tale, which is eyes Brain.

(03:22:33):
Eyes Brain wrote that when Mae asked her out, she wrote that
whole song Today was a fairy tale like that's then she calls
her Princess, all that stuff. So that's eyes brain and then I
have to give it up for Mae. Her song is fearless because in
my best dressed fearless becauseshe stands up to her cousin she

(03:22:54):
was honest with in front of I about her family for the first
time. She's truly honest.
Her flirting hardcore with I fucking fearless and then her
literally like put getting her best clothes on to go out on an
adventure with I in the best dressed fearless so that that

(03:23:14):
fits May in this episode. Great, great song choices.
I think Ivy fits this show pretty well and I want to dive
into more of like the lyrics andthe story later.
But overall, like Ivy itself does tell a story too.

(03:23:38):
So it's kind of like how in Pluto, the I of writing her
story and everything, but it's still that.
Oh, she's supposed to be with this person, but I'm in love
with her. It's just a whole thing.
It it does fit, but you have to read into the lyrics more.

(03:23:59):
So I need a little more time to put that together.
Oh, for sure. And then Ivy, the plant is like
invasive. So like that's when Taylor Swift
picked the plant. It's like it grows without you
wanting it to or not. So that's a good way to
represent like eyes feelings, like the eye.
It's like now I'm covered in you.

(03:24:19):
Like you see it in the scene. She's like, I know I shouldn't
be feeling this, but here it is.And it's growing and growing
because it's constantly against my will.
And like her sister is in a comaright now so can't even she.
Sure is. It's just there's so much going
on. That's a good one.
That's a good one. That's a good one.
OK, so looking forward to your analysis on that in a later

(03:24:40):
episode. Wait, last one, because you said
it earlier. You're on your own kid.
Yeah. With baby eye.
That's baby eye. Yeah.
Seriously. All right.
Big gay energy award. I'm giving it to Mae and her
flirting, cuz. Good lot.
Yeah, that's good. She's like, here's all of my

(03:25:00):
skin. What do you think?
I they have the sequence of thatthat also I walking in with her
like saying what about me? You have to give me the case
file. Oh, my God.
I with Officer Hottie and then Iputting on her jacket before she
gets on the motorcycle. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh my God, so many awards. We talked.

(03:25:22):
So much in three hours. All right, so the answer again
is Nam Tam. The answer is named yes.
Being unreasonably attractive, Yes, this is your fault.
OK, so today's secret word is a secret phrase because I could
not figure out a word that wouldfit right now.

(03:25:45):
So today's phrase that I want you to use in a comment or
review, the review would be funny too is who lit the
candles? Yes, who lit the candles.
This applies to any Thai girl love show and the 100.
So the 100 whatever yes Yep. So let us know who lit the

(03:26:08):
candles. I would love to see how you
