I noticed somethin while gif'ing random Victor things for a little series I am doing. You know how at the first meltdown, Victor had it under control right? The one everyone knows in Romanâs room after Dinah and Victor had to explain the bad news;
This is the one where Victor shows how he can help calm Roman down easily. OrâŚso we thought.
The second one at the club however⌠Look closely.
He doesnât. He tried to comfort him but it almost looks like Roman slaps his hand away. He is super fucking pissed to the point not even Victor can help him. Victor even⌠flinches a little, drawing his hand back super fast and goes back to his usual âprofessionalâ posture with his hands behind his back.Â
For those who may not remember why he is pissed here, it is when Victor tells Roman that Harley found the kid (Cassandra) but then disappeared.
AKA, disappeared with Romanâs diamond.
Then this meltdown happens which led to the table scene which we are all familiar with. Victor was a huge part of that too. If he couldnât help Roman by the usual way, he knew that this was the only way to help him.
To blow off some steam, as Victor would say.
   âIs she laughing at me?!â
            "She is.â
No she wasnât, Victor. But alright I guess.
He knew what he was doinâ.
I think Victor too, was angry that he couldnât do anythinâ about the meltdown or gettinâ the diamond back so someone else had to suffer for it.
So point of all this is⌠Victor cannot always comfort Roman, even if he tries to. Sometimes he just has to step back and watch things happen. Roman finds other ways to calm down and if that means yelling at poor innocent people then that is how it will go. Of course, Victor will add fuel to the fire if he knows it will somehow help the tantrum somehow. Like that club scene for example since he knew if he couldnât help Roman personally, then someone else had to pay the price for it.
Victor will just watch from the background as his Boss just screams and causes a whole damn scene.
