The way Gigi's signature movie in Gen Q is the licking alllll the way up EVEN up the chin to then kiss-- if a woman did that to me I would be absolutely stunned

I just know it’s been hard for her to witness the mistreatment of her character that she loved portraying. I know it’s even harder to walk away from the character of Gigi/the ship of Gini but I’m honestly glad she’s no longer in that dumpster fire of a show. She deserves better, anyway. ❤️

Gigi Ghorbani/Gini, you will always be famous. 🥹

I LOVE how you take and break down, not just the scenes of the show but also these characters!! What did you think of the scene where Dani shows up at Gigi's office & Gigi gives her an excuse but Dani straight up calls her out on it by saying "maybe you just didn't want to see me" Do you think Gigi was surprised by that? Cause I personally think she wasn't expecting Dani to come and apologize but she loved every minute of it when she did

Hi Anon,

I think in the scene preceding that, the one where Dani storms out, mirrored Gigi's last night with Bette a little too closely:

I think Gigi goes to work, trying to get over the hurt because what happened with Dani cut deeper, Gigi's more involved, I think she's already in love with Dani but hasn't realized it yet. Both, Dani and Bette women came to Gigi, eager to get their minds off whatever was bothering them- Dani was angry at Bette and Bette was trying to get over Pippa's refusal to work with her while also attracted to her. And both women, just left her, without any regard for her feelings and I think in that moment, Gigi decided that she had had enough, she wasn't going to just sit around and wait for Dani to come around, if she ever did. She was done playing second fiddle to whatever was going on in their lives.

I don't think Gigi expected Dani to come and apologise. I think after what happened with Bette, Gigi wanted to protect herself but was pleasantly surprised when Dani did come.

Dani's cooled off and I think she didn't expect Gigi to react the way she did. In the time that they've spent together, Gigi has always been there for her, supporting her so when she didn't show up, it made Dani pay attention, I think it made her realise the gravity of her mistake. It wasn't just that she snapped at Gigi but she shut her out at the first sign of a problem, the very thing that Bette did.

It's also worth noting that they're still having a conversation, a similar situation with Dani x Sophie or Gigi x Bette would have dissolved into a full-fledged fight/screaming match. When Dani says, "Or you just didn't want to see me." I don't think she actually expected Gigi to say what she did, she's not used to someone being that forthright and it takes her back and makes her realise that her actions really hurt Gigi.

But Dani's determined to convince Gigi that she is sorry about what happened and goes even further, she gives her a peace-offering and when called out on her lack of an actual apology, she does apologise, without offering any excuses for her behaviour. And Dani's so adorable in that moment that Gigi can't help but melt.

Can we take a moment and appreciate just how soft these women are for each other, ugh... making me yearn for this shit in my life...

Anyway, Gigi's confession about not being good with the whole hot and cold thing drives Dani to explain why she reacted the way she did. I think, in that moment, she was scared that Gigi thought she wasn't serious about the relationship and she didn't want any misunderstandings standing in their way.

Having said that, Gigi's not so ready to let Dani off the hook, note their body language here, Dani's sitting, leaning forward, towards Gigi. But Gigi's still seated on her side of the desk, behind her laptop, almost using it as a shield, her body's still but her eyes are tracking Dani. She's listening, waiting to hear what Dani has to say.

She finally shuts her laptop when she sees how hard it is for Dani to speak about her father and we see a shift in her body language, now she's leaning forward too, fully engaged with what Dani's saying.

I love how Gigi's so attuned to Dani, noticing every little tick, and she's very aware of Dani's discomfort, she sees her fidgeting but doesn't say anything, letting Dani set the pace of their conversation. I love that Gigi doesn't prod Dani for answers, instead she gives Dani her side, explaining that her dad was the same, overbearing, protective and with a messed-up way of showing his love for his daughter. I think it was important for Dani to hear that, to know that they have overbearing, controlling fathers in common and that Gigi really does understand what she's talking about because she's been through the same thing and come out stronger on the other side. And more than that, she understands that it's impossible for Dani to separate him from the rest of her life, he's her father and an integral part of her life.

When Dani tells her that part of the way she reacted that way she did was borne out of her embarrassment that Gigi saw how she let her father treat her and Gigi's such an amazing partner, she immediately goes and sits next to Dani and asks if she caused that reaction. I love that she checks in with Dani.

I think Dani's pretty touch starved, it's safe to assume that her dad wasn't physically affectionate and from what we saw of her relationship with Sophie, they weren't too physically affectionate either. Dani herself doesn't strike me as someone who's physically demonstrative of her affections. Gigi's the opposite, she's so much more physically affectionate, it's almost her love language (that and food/tea) I love Dani's little frown here when Gigi takes her hand, like she can't figure why Gigi's doing that. She's not used to touch, touch that's meant to reassure and offer comfort. Touch that conveys love but isn't sexual. It's also how Gigi always manages to calm Dani down, her touch grounds Dani, giving her an anchor, something tangible to hang on to.

Things look up from here, Dani's happy that she stood up to her father, she's proud of herself and she credits Gigi and it makes sense. She can stand up to him because now she has someone in her corner, someone who's love and support is unconditional, someone who asks Dani to put herself first, prioritise herself and her own well-being. I don't think she's ever had that before.

By the end of that exchange, Gigi can't help but lean in, she's drawn in by Dani's almost childlike exuberance. That "I sure do I like you" is more like an "I love you", but I think she avoids saying it because it is too soon but she's already fallen and fallen hard. I love Dani being cheeky and teasing Gigi but what I love even more is her gaze, drinking Gigi in. If Gigi's already in love then Dani's not too far behind.
