Ok everyone and their mothers are posting about Caine dying which is absolutely valid but I also really wanted to talk about this scene
I love how this is being handled. Even though he still hasn't opened up about his issues to anyone, Pomni knows enough.
You see the surprise on the others' faces when he's acting so vulnerable and nervous, with the stuttering and all and the clear attempts to get out of the room as soon as possible. It's entirely new to them.
And even though they never talked about Jax's close calls with abstraction... Pomni just knows. She knows he hasn't been doing well and she has the perfect balance of concern and firmness to keep a tight grip on him.
The silent communication here is JUST *chef's kiss* 😭
Jax says he's going to distract Caine. Pomni knows he just wants to be away from them. She starts asking if he's okay but catches herself, knowing he won't take that well, but while she's still trying to rephrase, Jax just looks her dead in the eye and says again, "Fill me in later."
Aka "I NEED to be out of here right now don't try to stop me."
She looks back at him, and says with a firm look, "BE here later." Aka "you can go have your alone time but don't you dare abstract on me."
And Jax, for the first time in the show (although he avoids eye contact), replies sincerely, "I will."
Just... UGH. The way Pomni is STILL sticking around for him is so sweet and how it's slowly but surely WORKING akdnfndmskjfdkdkdjskdkdkdkksksndnsk
Not to meNTION how later in the torture scenes, Pomni is right up there alongside Ribbit and Kaufmo as Jax's closest friends supposedly laughing at him in Caine's personally created nightmare world. 😭😭 Yeah we knew he cared about her but this episode really drove that home 🥹
