āI suppose Topside is to blame for all your misfortunes.ā
The hidden narrative tension behind Caitlyn's sarcasm here triggered ungodly levels of angst in me, which I feel a sadistic desire to share here.
When she snaps bitterly at Vi (for not letting her in), Caitlyn *doesn't know* that in fact, the explosion that nearly killed her all those years ago was (accidentally) caused by Powder.
As Caitlyn mentions her misfortunes, Vi is reminded of her sister. She sees her drawing the "slug monster with venom for ooze" and the "slug eating crab with razor spikes", and then Vi softly replies:
āNo. Not all of them.ā
Vi *doesn't know* that in fact, the REASON WHY "Topside" was so insistent on having Grayson find and arrest a culprit for the explosion was that Caitlyn Kiramman nearly died that day. Cait's parents were worried and overprotective. They needed someone to blame (other than Jayce).
Hence, Caitlyn *IS*, unwittingly, what led Vi to offer herself up to Grayson (to protect Powder).
Ensued the deaths of both Grayson and Vander (Cait and Vi's respective role models), the separation of Powder from her sister (and her becoming Jinx), and the imprisonment of Vi "without any record of her or her crimes".
And our girls are one conversation away from finding this out. One word, casually dropped, and...
The Jinx-Vi-Cait dynamic is the most explosive narrative triangle in the universe, holy hell, I love it so much ā” ā” ā”
A whole season could be written about it!
