Caitlyn’s dad appreciation post
The parenting challenge:
Your daughter dissapears for two days. She turns up breaking into her own room, wounded, and smelling of sewage, brothel and gunpowder, with a complete stranger. Your wife is threatening them with a hunting rifle.
His reaction:
1- Hug. Tight. No questions asked.
2- Give the stranger a good once-over. Like, 5 seconds long. His eyes probably said to Vi thank you ♡ oh… wow, okay… wow… all at once.
3- *Glower* at his wife, upper lip pursed in utter disgust, when she called the person “a stray”.
4- Remove suspicious bits of metal from his daughter’s leg while she rants and curses. Still no questions asked. No eyebrows raised. Only delicately pulling really sharp bits of metal fireflies (okay?) from her leg, while she moves quite a bit.
5- Deploy most powerful weapon in his arsenal, The Puppy Eyes, to obtain permission for his daughter to rest (yes, “rest” with that girl waiting in her bedroom). Of course, The Puppy Eyes work. It gets her an audience with the council AND a moment of intimacy.
[As a side note, Cait is absolutely going to deploy those same Puppy Eyes on Vi, all the time. Vi is so fucked.]
Her dad is definitely where Caitlyn gets *that* attitude from. You know, the “I don’t fear difference and I’m going to treat you like a person and care for you now” attitude? Yeah, it’s from him.
His name is Tobias. He gets the trophy for best dad. 🏆

a lot of this is probably obvious but it's my first time noticing it so 😭 enjoy a deep dive
“Our Love”, the song that plays over the scene where Vi turns herself in, is, in a vacuum, a classic 50’s-styled love song - in an authentic enough sense that it’s easy to be mistaken for a real, licensed song. But it was made specifically for the show, for this very moment. And when taken with its intended context, the visual language of the scene positions it as something deeper: a narrative expression of Vi’s thought process as she prepares to give herself up to the authorities. And her reasons for doing so: her love for Powder.
The design of the record of Our Love itself even seems to symbolize this.
Two girls, potentially sisters, orbiting each other - either floating in mid-air, or about to fall into the hole at the middle of the disc.
The beginning of the scene first illustrates a morose Powder taking refuge at the bar, intermixed with Vi breaking into the tip-off spot, and the feet of marching enforcers.
(The captions say “man grunts” but, that’s definitely the pantleg of young Vi’s design, and that’s clearly Hailee Steinfeld’s voice grunting 😭.)
Powder’s mind is on her sister, in the form of the rabbit she gifted her before she left (which will go on to symbolize Vi, and Jinx’s relationship to her, in a more major way Acts 4 and beyond.) Vi’s words clearly worried her, and the effect of that reveals Powder’s own love for Vi.
As the song ramps up from its slower, moodier beginnings, the realization of the impact of this action falls over Vander, the audience, and Vi.
Cinematically, it turns into a long, slow zoom in on Vi - her demeanor growing from resigned and downtrodden, her head bowed and her hands clasped, to ready and determined - standing up by the scenes end.
The bridge between those two states being a cut back to Powder feels intentional. As do the lyrics;
And the apprehension in her eyes, even as she does rise to accept her fate, really captures the ultimate irony of them.
“With you.”
For all the lyrics both support and re-enforce Vi’s reasons for doing this, by describing Powder as someone who bolsters her strength,
(A subversion of the idea that Powder solely relies on Vi for strength.)
As well as proclaiming that through their love, they’ve been able to whether hardships like this in the past, and will continue to do so,
It also subverts them. She’s doing this out of love for her sister, but she won’t be there to love her sister, or vice versa, by the time this is over (at least, so she believes). And that’s a sacrifice for both of them. A lot of these lyrics can apply to both of them, in fact.
But I still believe the song is specifically from the perspective of Vi. Because she’s the one who has always forced herself to “move on”, to “stay strong” - and this song is an illustration of where that strength comes from. Love, and a desire to protect, specifically her sister.
Because, partially out of necessity, they’ve found in each other the one positive thing they could rely on in a society dedicated to their destruction and misery - and here, is threatened to be destroyed by that very society. By series end, it arguably has. But there’s still that love there. And we, like Vi, can only hope that’s enough.
