You know what kills me? Silco was right, in a way.

At the tea party he says he would never give Jinx up to the enforcers (and we know that's true) and that after a day with Jinx, Vi would realise she's not the same girl she was before and abandon her again.

And he's right, she does. She abandons Jinx and leads the enforcers to her as soon as she realises how different Jinx is.

Now that's not to say it wasn't at least partly justified. If my sister was a mass murderer and I saw her explode my girlfriend's mam, I don't think I'd stick around. Cops still suck but, y'know.

It just kills me how truthful Silco's words are.

hello so hm I found a new parallel and it's making me insane, thank you

(her new found acceptance, or her sister

power, or his daughter

their lifelong dreams or their family)

I just woke up and realized something.

In the script on ep 9, Silco was supposed to wipe Jinx's tear.

But what I realized just now, is that it was supposed to be a parallel with ep 6.

It's literally the same angle, and we know how Arcane is full of parallels.

And it clearly shows a big, big change in Jinx's mind. Because that means that even in her head Silco becomes the person who truly supports her, who truly loves her, the person she will fight for until her last breath, and if I may go a little too far maybe, the person she'll try to see again no matter what that means. (Taking his place just to have a glimpse of him ?) Anyways, this clearly shows who she follows from now on and how she seems both Vi and Silco, who in EP 9 were fighting to make each other the villain in jinx's head, and so to be the 'good person' in her eyes.

She chose her side, and it's really emphasized by this parallel.
