Kacy - 207 - Vanishing Act

Hellooo. First post. Bit nervous. My thoughts on Kacy in the recent episode. I initially posted this on Twitter and am not finished with making gifs yet, so this is pretty much mostly an all words post.

I really enjoyed the episode overall. I was very bummed that Lucy will be gone for 4 months and Kacy will be apart. They are in a good place and the timing really sucks and I'm still very much in my feels about the beach scene, especially near the end. Honestly, I wasn't very tuned in to the plot because my focus and attention was on how Lucy and Kate were feeling. How Lucy was struggling about not wanting to be apart from Kate because she really just wants to 'sit on a hill' with her and not go on any adventures, but at the same time it's also a great opportunity for her career.

I understand and can see why some people say it doesn't make sense. Lucy's - 'feet, water, death' - literally going into the middle of the dark abyss for 4 months for a position she applied for and was rejected when her and Kate were broken up - I know there are feelings about that as well because old wounds were brought back, plus the indications of Lucy's action. Lucy reacted and from personal experience, reactions lack a thought process. While it makes no sense that Lucy would apply for a position that keeps her on a ship for x amount of months, it also makes sense at the same time because when you’re hurting, decisions can be irrational. She was running away from her feelings and I guess a ship made sense at the time. Makes me think maybe that's also why she chose to come to Hawaii - maybe to get as far away from her family as possible?

Kate. Her feelings when she found out why Lucy applied for the position definitely brought up old wounds, even more so because Kate had no idea and the reason she applied was because of Kate. I hear you - the people who are saying Kate sacrificed her career to stay close to Lucy - choosing Lucy over her career - and now Lucy's choosing her career over Kate and is off to take a position that's going to benefit her career? Back in season one, they were broken up and Kate made that decision on her own because that is what she wanted. The job in DC, compared to the position on the ship, is permanent. The situations, contexts and emotions involved are very different. Lucy will be back and they'll be together in the same place again. It just really sucks being long distance. We have seen that their relationship has grown and how they’re able to talk to one another later on at the beach shows that.

The beach scene. I'm happy that they were able to talk openly, honestly and showed vulnerability. Lucy saying (and essentially calling herself out), "it's hard for me believing that because I don't know if you've noticed, I have trust issues" and Kate knowing that after she tells Lucy "I'm not going anywhere" is, I have to admit, not what I expected. I love that though - they're able to talk to each other like that and this is a decision made by both of them. Kate here, is definitely the best girlfriend for supporting Lucy and having her best interest at heart even though it hurts that they’ll be apart for four months very soon. The reassurances she gives her. Definitely the best.

I’ll miss Lucy and Kacy scenes, but I’m very much looking forward to Kate working with Kai in the next episode. Maybe they’ll have some chagaccinos while working on AJ’s case since Kai seemed to have liked it? 😆

Thanks for reading!

-I'm really gonna miss you.- 😭🥺🤍

The lady who was the focus of the story was abducted by the bounty hunter sent to get her, Lucy apparently applied for an Agent Afloat position and now doesn’t want it, and the lady’s son rode his bike to base to report her missing. Kai and Lucy got into a dogs-vs-cats debate, the bounty hunter was nice enough to make sure the dog got back to its apartment, and the sneak peek with the ‘victim’ stealing the car and escaping ended the act. Predictably, Tennant immediately assumed the bounty hunter was the bad guy, and acted like he was below them. Just as predictably, Lucy was reluctant to tell Whistler about her Agent Afloat position, which of course came back to bite her. Ernie provided the fugitive’s double-identity backstory, and Theo ran away from two very conspicuous not-at-all-teacher-looking bad guys chasing him through the halls of a middle school filled with minors. Jesse got Theo to help by bribing him with a sundae, and Ernie brought up Lucy’s Agent Afloat issue and made the sensible suggestion that she should’ve withdrawn her application when she and Whistler got back together. Tennant displayed her condescending fake-nice attitude with Theo, Kai inadvertently spilled the Agent Afloat beans, and Jesse got punched and shoved out of a car, which was a form of karma considering he threatened grievous bodily harm upon the bounty hunter who was just doing his job. Whistler insulted the bounty hunter, and the fact they didn’t notice him following them or realize the bad guys planted a tracker says a lot about their detective skills. Ending the act with Jesse in mid-leap was a lackluster way of building suspense, and of course the lady turned out to be innocent. Lucy told Whistler about her first girlfriend and decided to go, and got dramamine as a parting gift.
