What do you think Ruby means in 2x06 when she says that Rio probably has a gun Beth and blood diamond Beth and human trafficking Beth?
re: this scene
beth: itās not fair. we deserve a cut.
ruby: [sarcastically] ācause thatās what itās about.
beth: what else would it be about?
ruby: drug beth?
beth: whatever.
annie: wait, whatās drug beth?
ruby: [points at beth] counterfeit beth [points in the nebulous area behind her] drug beth. and you know heās got a gun beth and a blood diamond beth and a human trafficking beth...
so, iāve seen other people take that comment to mean that rio's just using beth for whatever criminal activities heās got going on and will continue to do so even as heĀ āflips [his] gameā from one operation to another. thatās one interpretation.
personally, i think ruby meant that beth was just one of a handful of women he was both sleeping with and using to do his business with. beth was a part of his counterfeit operation and he was sleeping with herācounterfeit beth. dylan was a part of his drug operation and, based on the way he hugged her and interacted with her, it looked like he was also sleeping with herātherefore she was drug beth.Ā ruby took it further saying thatĀ rioās got a woman heās using/sleeping with for any other game he might have his hand ināguns, blood diamonds, human trafficking (ruby went a little overboard haha). but she just meant that beth wasnāt special because she wasnāt the only one rio had that type of relationship with, and that was the real reason beth was going through all that trouble to screw rio over with the pills. she was hurt. ruby was calling her out (by calling rioĀ āiāve got hoes in different area codesā gangfriend out).Ā
