this season is leaps and bounds better than the first. They be messing with my emotions tho:
first i thought fez was gonna get clipped off guard..
Then i thought he was gon get the disc and clip maddie
Then i thought jules was gonna get murked as the final clean-up. I appreciate all the curveballs they threw in the episode

Alexa Demie is No.1 tho, i done staked my claim :birdman:
Maude is a close second
in retrospect, i spoke too soon. This season fizzled out at the end and i wouldn't be surprised if we got the 3rd/final season in 2024.
- laurie just let rue off for taking those drugs :snoop:
- all the flashbacks wasting time in episodes :snoop:
- weirdo song that started off good, but went on too long :snoop:
- the predictable stuff that went down with fez (outside of AT abandoning reason and going rambo) :snoop:
- Like someone else said, all the adults lacking accountability and the only adults we really saw in the auditorium being a drunk & transwoman with a 5 oclock shadow :scusthov: didnt even make sense


my comments on alexa demie and maude stand tho. and lexis play was good but not 2 whole episodes good

You nikkas have no patience and focus WHATSOEVER :what:

Laurie’s masterplan is on schedule, she’s not letting Rue slide with the money. She studied her and told her she ALWAYS gets her money.

Rue is in for a reality check thinking shyt sweet
Feds have Faye on tape exposing Laurie's entire operation, her exact location and pinning a murder on her, that plotline is over :mjlol:

Rue says at the end that she stayed clean the rest of the school year was it year :patrice:but I feel like if Laurie kidnapped her ass, she would've mentioned that.

The more I think about it the more I can't put it all on him.


Big girl Kat complaining about her arc so she went from an interesting side character to an NPC next to Maddie all season :francis: Jules and Nate having IRL issues so it was like pulling teeth just to get one scene out of them :francis: The script changing multiple times during all the delays to try and accommodate people :francis:


If I'm Sam I'd be tempted to just say fukk it and let Storm Reid and a bunch of new faces from the school take the lead for season 3, bring back McKay's twin brothers and their fukkery in a more prominent role :wow:

Nate and Jules have real life issues? Link?

You do realize Ash gunned down officers right??
Ash Literally killed Mouse and Custer in the house lol. On of top of that their house got raided for the second time in little over a year “Just existing” is quite the understatement lol

Ash was constantly making shyt hotter than it had to be, little dude was a liability and wouldn’t listen.

You nikkas have no patience and focus WHATSOEVER :what:

When Rue went back to Laurie and showed up at her doorstep like a fiend.
The FIRST thing Laurie did was say
“Ruby Bennett, I’m so happy to see you”:sas2: (0:12)


Laurie wasn’t surprised to see Rue, AT ALL. Even called her by her whole GOVERNMENT NAME, Meaning she had done her homework on Rue, because she had a bigger plan..
a calculated step-by-step plan she was executing.

Because she KNEW what Rue was the day Fez brought her in and Rue bein the ONLY one acting all weird about getting naked.
That moment Laurie made a mental note that she was a virgin she’d try to trap.
(0:57)


When Rue showed up WITHOUT Fez.
She knew Rue was the fiend she’d hope for.
Cause Rue, the virgin.. had NO BUSINESS pullin up without Fez.. The dude who INTRODUCED them to eachother, if she wasn’t a fiend.

That’s why she was EAGER to give Rue 50K worth of drugs, because she knew she was in a win-win situation. (1:15)

Either 1. Rue miraculously made her money with the drugs she fronted, which she knew Rue most likely wouldn’t.

Or 2. Rue would lose the 50K Laurie already calculated in losing at first but gaining back and then some selling her affording to plan anyway.

Laurie casually reminded Rue of her initial plan and self-insurance when she said
“If you screw me over..
I’ll have you kidnapped and sold to some real SICK people. I ALWAYS get my money back.
Rue.. I’m serious.. :youngsabo:“ -
(2:25)


Rue showing up with jewelry she stole and a lil bit of cash was typical fiend behavior that reminded Laurie everything was goin according to her plan to trap her.

She put a bug in Rue’s ear telling her
“Hey, I was an addict and I didn’t know I was until I ran out. - (1:25)
To stage an emotional bond and make Rue think she genuinely cares about her..
To literally follow that up, by turning it up a notch by sayin
“then I realized I’d do ANYTHINGGG to avoid withdrawal..:noah:
“There was a study on opiates and over time the highs won’t feel so high.. but the bad things won’t feel so bad either.” -03:00

“If I was goin through withdrawal, I’d do ANYTHINGGGG :sas1:
The good thing about bein a WOMAN…
Is even if you don’t have money, you always have SOMETHING people want :sas2:


Again.. putting that pimp game on her

On top of that, at (03:30) you hear the scratching on the door of a victim already in the house right there with em down the hallway:wow:


Laurie is a calculated human trafficker doin classic techniques pimps tell their victims to get them in the prostitution game.
They’re kind, giving them comfort while slowly but surely luring them into that lifestyle of selling their body.. BY CHOICE, even if that choice is not REALLY a choice to the victim in the grand scheme of things

Because in their ideal situation, the victim makes THE CHOICE to sell herself, so they’re not classified as human traffickers by law, which is KEY.

There was an episode of Trafficked with Mariana van Zeller on National Geographic where a pimp broke it down the same way we’re witnessing in the show.

Keep in mind, Laurie is the only one besides Ali and Rue’s mother that called Rue by her government name..

Laurie’s a calculated monster creepin up on her.
She knows Rue is a virgin.
She purposely put her in debt.
She knows she’s a fiend and purposely gave her the needle even tho she had them pills.
She purposely put the option of selling her body in Rue’s ear.

Rue was LUCKY she was able to get out of the spiderweb, cause ALL the doors were locked already after Laurie hit her with that needle.


Laurie’s masterplan is on schedule, she’s not letting Rue slide with the money. She studied her and told her she ALWAYS gets her money.

Rue is in for a reality check thinking shyt sweet


nikka naw. :mjtf:

You overthinking it. Sam didn’t put that much thought into writing this shyt. :dead:

Laurie is not some calculated mastermind rubbing her hands together like Birdman for Rue to make the CHOICE to become sex trafficked. There’s a reason those victims are locked in that house. Plus any idea of that plot line went out the window when Rue got sober.

Sam has 3 options to deal with the Laurie storyline going forward

1. Never mention it again/pretend it never happened

2. Have Laurie get arrested because of what Fay said on the wire and go to jail, never to be heard from again

3. Have Laurie come for Rue in season 3.

Option #3 makes the least sense given how much time has passed since Rue escaped (easily months since she got sober and finished the school year).

I blame Sam’s pen for people even having to think of these elaborate theories. This isn’t that type of show. This isn’t True Detective season 1. Plus it’s lazy af to leave a major plot line lingering into the next season without so much of a teaser. It would be one thing if they showed Laurie watching Rue walking as the final shot or something.

nah breh... there's many shows that leave threads wide open until they revisit sometimes a season or even two seasons later..
