SPENCER: Wearing a shirt labelled ‘Twink.’ He doesn’t know what it means, but a nice lady at a merch stand just handed it to him and it matches his purple scarf, so he thought ‘why not?’

PENELOPE & LUKE: Made friends with a group of fly drag queens and followed them to a karaoke bar. Both wearing multiple feather boas and… somehow covered in glitter? Both get up on the bar and start dancing the Second Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ starts playing.

EMILY: Is hungover from last night’s exploits at D.C.’s answer to the Pink Pony Club. A pair of cunty sunglasses protect her eyes from the white hot sun, and she holds her pounding head as she follows JJ through the crowd.

JJ: Five strawberry daiquiris deep and is not looking back. Thinking about how nice Emily’s hand feels in hers, and is too drunk to hide it. May have agreed to join some sort of coalition or movement? Who can remember, she can barely see.

ELLE & TARA: Have had way too many shots of tequila rose and have devolved into a fit of hysterical laughter. Taking turns hyping each other up as they twerk to Chappell Roan. Tara constantly sends drunken, sappy voice notes to Rebecca.

MORGAN: Wearing a shirt that says ‘Ally’ and dirty dancing in the middle of the parade.

HOTCH: Wearing a pair of sunglasses and a neon green ‘BRAT’ shirt. Penelope bought it for him, and after she ‘accidentally’ spilled her drink on him he had no choice but to change. Externally, he is stoic and serious. Internally? Rocking the fuck out to Madonna.

ROSSI: Has signed each and every petition offered to him. Just following the team around in his dad shirt and soaking up the vibes.

GIDEON: Sat on top of a pride float with his binoculars just watching birds.

BONUS

EMILY: Bought a planner diary labelled ‘the gay agenda.’

TARA: Didn’t know whether to be offended or delighted by the prospect of an ‘LGBTini’ cocktail, but it tasted incredibly good.

Tara as a black woman is not allowed to be in stable and happy relationship and have that be shown on screen. In her previous relationships she was assaulted by her white husband and abandoned by her black fiancé (and I do think their races say something as well). And in evolution, she has the chance for real happiness. She even says as much: that she’s “never been this happy before”. And that gets taken from her too. And we see that fallout. We see that fight as the audience. We see the bickering and the digs at each other. But we don’t see any of the make up. In fact, all we get is Tara in a life and death situation and Rebecca not wanting to be alone after that. Then, we are told that they are back together again because they “are more miserable apart than they were together”. Why did that have to be the description and reasoning we are given as an audience? Why can’t it be that “never been this happy” again? Why is it that even when they are together, we still see that tension around the inability to let each other in? And it’s only after Tara almost dies that they get engaged. We are only given a bit of happiness to cheer for after she goes through a major trauma. And then we don’t even see the wedding. We barely even see them interact after getting engaged. No small touches, quick kisses, nothing. And yet when you look at other relationships that are shown on the show, you get the couple against the problem (see JJ and Will, Rossi and Krystall, Matt and Kristy to name a few). You get to see sweet moments between them and light touches and kisses and everything else you expect from married couples!!! What is the difference??? Oh, maybe that they are an interracial sapphic couple??? I mean we’ve all already noticed that the two off screen weddings were the black people on the show. Is it because they would have to hire people of color to be background actors and not suffer in some way, shape, or form?? And before you telling me it’s not that deep, it fucking is, okay. And it sucks. It sucks for us. It sucks for Aisha and Nicole and all the other people of color who get shunted to the side but are expected to take it because at least they have a job on one of the most streamed shows in the world. And so while white men and white couples get to have full feasts. Everyone else is expected to be grateful for fucking crumbs.
