arguing over whether caitlyn would make the shot or miss is stupid, because that's not the point. the fight scene prior gives us convincing arguments for either outcome - she easily shoots a pistol out of the child's hands right before, but is out of her mind and hextech could fritz her gun at any moment.
the point is that caitlyn and vi thought they were aligned until that moment. vi thought they were in agreement that they wouldn't risk a kid, or i think even try to kill jinx while a kid was around. caitlyn thought that after her hesitation in the s1 finale cost her mother's life (and the stability of piltover-zaun), they were in agreement that eliminating jinx was an ultimate priority and that vi would never try to stop her again.
#they both view it as a betrayal and that's what makes it so bad#poor vi fr she literally never wins#did she at least get to sleep in caitlyn's giant house while the strike team era was happening#arcane#mine#jaggedwolf rambles#arcane meta#caitlyn kiramman#vi#vi and caitlyn#arcane spoilers#arcane s2#s1 caitlyn would never risk a kid that way she didn't even headshot sevika back then when she had a chance#but s2 caitlyn...#love the way she's terribly driven by a combo of grief guilt and kidnapping trauma
