No Way Out

He didn't even hide tho

He knows the real reason she turned him in again is that she wanna end whatever was going on between them. She thought that if she lets him down once again... he won't come back, not this time. But she should've known one thing. He doesn't give up that easy... Besides, he’s used to being handed over, so it doesn’t matter to him anymore. He just does what he does.

I think those scenes are connected somehow. (It might sound like a cliché, but I’m gonna say it anyway…) If the Rose Chardonnay implies romance, then Rio getting it right about what she’d actually drink shows he knows she wants more than just a romance—unlike the other girls who *help* him out or something. And that’s why he finds her more interesting than anyone else and also thinks she’s kinda like him...

On seeing the red rubber band, he would know who made the money. He just knows it was her. THIS IS HOW TO SAY I LOVE YOU WITHOUT SAYING I LOVE YOU.

It's funny how the way Rio intimidates her into doing something is a lot like how he's been used by Nick.

I mean look at him struggling

(More like... "Yeah, but...")

and it kinda seems that he actually is.

and then… also like ‘Yeah. Of course you would.’

The last head shake literally kills me every time

I've been thinking a lot about what the councilwoman Beth and her ward heeler (kind of...) Rio would be like... i mean... if there were S5😭

For him, the reason they are together doesn’t have to be love. As long as he's sure that Beth needs no one but him for some reason (not necessarily something sexual), he can’t be bothered with whoever she’s with.

The progress

just not enough.

but she's the one who always makes it hard.

And he enjoys what he hears enough not to interrupt her story.
