What I see Morganâs game in Superheros as being
Morgan is the short term, by the seat of her pants planner. Jed is the meticulous chess master. When they try to switch tactics they fuck up. Morgan CLEARLY shows this in this episode, but Jed does too, when he goes after Luca. Heâs frantic and out of his element and heâs not good at that.
Anyway, when she goes to John at the beginning of the episode, her how posture is false.
Look at her. Her shoulders are rolled forward, she fidgety, not making eye contact as she normally does, and appears stressed. Itâs just false. Bluntly? She was playing John. The only time she was being honest was when John said âIf he catches you, you arenât coming back.â - she agreed. But she wasnât planning on Jed catching her (but I do think she was planning on no coming back and everyone assuming she had been caught and that Jed had killed her).
Then before Jed even gets there, sheâs fretting.
Calming herself. Fretting and freaking out. And yet when Jed shows up, sheâs nervous - and I think Jed picked up on it, thatâs why he was gruff with her when he got there.
The forced smile. The rolled shoulders. Sheâs not comfortable EITHER.
Well. She brings up the âpossibilityâ of children. Sheâs supposed to be trying to get him to relax. How could she make a misstep like that, knowing about John, that family and fatherhood is something which is wounded him?Â
Because she believed heâd answer more positively. That heâd reassure her that once the war was over, they wouldnât have to do what they have been doing. Instead he says something that wounds her deeply (âno place for a child of our makingâ - itâs not what he meant, but what she HEARD was that he didnât want children with her, not that he didnât want them right now).
She played her hand, gambled, and lost. She had been counting on him being open to the idea, so she could tell him. And had she told him that, she believed there was no way heâd allow her to go back to the Lair. Not with what heâd had to do with Julian. Not with Cara having threatened her before and now sheâs carrying his child. But he didnât respond how she thought and now if she goes back with nothing, then she's completely fucked.
She backed herself into a corner. And itâs very clear she does NOT want to go through with it.
So what does she do? She PURPOSEFULLY fucks up.
See that there? LOOK AT JEDâS EAR. Itâs bright red - she's hurting him, however slightly. Heâs still awake and she knows that. She's trying to get caught, she knows him too well for that to be a misstep.
She just didnât expect his level of anger, never once thought he had it in him to put his hands on her violence and panicked.Â
And Jedâs in a rage - panicking. Look how hard heâs breathing in that scene - heâs probably fighting back something like a panic attack. (Mark has even stated Jed had PTSD.) And she didnât know what to do.
She misstepped badly. But she never, I donât think, meant to to through with the offer she had John.Â
