here are the not layered/angled versions of these!

I love what this episode gives us about Liane and how lonely she is--how badly she needs a friend and tries to find it in Eric. More than a friend, she wants easy love, she wants the illusion of inconditional love by caving into his every want and need. The whole part about Eric's inner struggles is fantastic as well, and I tried to hint at it in the poster, but what I mostly wanted to show was this sort of... never ending spiral of dragging each other down. If I had to animate this, I'd zoom out continuously, having one big Liane above one big Eric etc etc. Because they just keep looming above one another, Liane feeding into Eric's worst sides (that she helped nurture in the first place) and Eric terrorizing Liane. She created and trapped herself with her own demon, and while victim of it, Eric himself won't let her go, won't let their dynamic die either (as seen in City People.) I'd go on a big ramble about PC Eric after that but I'm too lazy to type all of that out and other people have formulated all that much better than I have already, soo... maybe some other time haha. Here is the first version I made of the poster, which was inaccurate in terms of characterization but matched my initial idea more closely.
