Pete: Vegas has been taken out, yes.

Kinn: Great jo-

Pete: It was a great restaurant.

Pete: We had a romantic candlelit dinner.

The thing with Vegas is that in the early episodes I was convinced he was a psychopath. He had so many stereotypical psychopathic traits—manipulative, little to no empathy but he could fake it so well, a tendency to take what he wanted however he could get it, violent. The manipulation especially screamed psychopath to me, like he would use people however he could to achieve his goals with little empathy for how it affected them. Every seemingly soft moment he had felt constructed and purposeful, an attempt to lure people (mainly Porsche) into position so he could execute his plans.

The only times he felt sincere to me were in his interactions with Pete. Here’s a guy he didn’t really see a point in manipulating. Didn’t see a real use for. Catching Pete in his quarters at night—leads him back to his room, doesn’t even bother trying to fuck with him. With Pete at the temple was a little more performative, but even that he was trying, vaguely, to make Pete a little uncomfortable or to try and seem normal.

But then they go to the safe house.

Suddenly we see Vegas having emotions like shame, grief, hopelessness, but also joy. He gets to be the most himself since the beginning of the show. He reads, he cooks, he’s interested in psychology, he likes small animals, he wants to please his father. Also he’s into pet play and ass, but that’s beside the point. The point is that outside the safe house, he acts like and genuinely seems to be a psychopath, but when he’s away from expectations and it’s just Pete—Pete who he’s been more real with than anyone else in the series—he doesn’t have to perform. He tries to. He gets upset and takes it out on Pete, but most of the time it feels like desperation and not like he’s genuinely enjoying it. Like this, torture and pain, is what he knows so he’s going to try it, but it doesn’t feel the same as it does pre-safe house.

Most significant, and the thing that really shatters the psychopath facade, is that he shows empathy to Pete. When he’s treating Pete’s wounds, he cares about how he’s feeling. When he’s pleading Pete to stay and apologizing, he’s demonstrating remorse for his actions and genuine awareness of and concern for how Pete is feeling. Yeah he’s begging Pete to stay with him, which is somewhat self-centered, but he seriously cares for how Pete is feeling in that moment.
