I forgot I wrote up something about this forever ago

POSSIBLE LIKELY TURN OF EVENTS!!!

Viktor and Mordecai are sent on an 'errand'

very high possibility of this being early on in their partnership seeing how Mordecai is behind the wheel , assuming it's not yet discovered how Viktor's just the better driver ( or that Mordecai decides he's too much of a diva to be behind the wheel , either one )

Mordecai originally being the one with a change in appearance

we see how much Mordecai prioritizes being well groomed, because it means he'll be taken seriously. So seeing him with messy hair here most likely indicates he was originally wearing Viktor's hat. I mean that's more plausible then Mordecai Heller consciously going out with his hair in a wreck

This is likely Mordecai's first time taking a job of this type , and considering how he's not too experienced in this style of work yet (and with maybe sort of comical expectations to how everything works?) Mordecai decides today he needs a disguise!! A completely unnecessary disguise! I'm sure if it were, Viktor would have put in at least SOME effort into changing from his regular outfit

This one's kinda stretch as the frame can easily just be flipped but maybe this little errand is an escort job? Mordecai looks like he's talking over his shoulder and seeing how Viktor is sitting right next to him in the opposite direction the only other option is to assume someone's sitting in the back. And this could maybe feed into why Mordecai would think he needs a disguise for the occasion

Viktor's the last to enter the car ( highly doubt Mordecai would be driving if he wasn't ) , hell maybe grumbling about where his hat could be , just to see Mordecai wearing it

Mordecai remarks they need a disguise , Viktor maybe chuckles because one it's just not needed and two because the latter really thought such a great disguise would just be him literally PUTTING ON A HAT and thinking ' yea that'll do it!! ' , taking his hat back

assuming there's someone in the back , this is where they butt in with some dialogue. Leaving Mordecai to respond and be distracted enough for his glasses to be taken

Viktor takes Mordecai's glasses, and silently mocks him. Viktor's expression very purposefully reminiscent of the latter's usual expression, with Mordecai's expression accidentally returning the favor

there could be slight variations too?

like the frame where Mordecai's talking happening after Viktor takes his glasses and is probably saying something about him sassily ( Now that I look at it it's either like to the person in the back, the frame is flipped and he's actually just talking to Viktor, or he could literally just be mumbling to himself IM TIRED )

Or Viktor didn't originally snatch Mordecai's glasses off his face at all! We've seen him pick up his glasses before, maybe this is another instance of that. Except he's just now revealing he has them instead of handing it to him immediately to be humorous in the occasion, who knows !
