So Mickey and K finally got some closure and it was very well roleplayed(As expected from K and Blau). It wasn't full forgiveness-K will never fully forgive Mickey and character wise he shouldn't- but they ended on good terms and Mickey not being retconned so it was good for me.
It's been 36+ hours since I watched the scene but the a few highlights were, of course, K sitting on the couch staring at the fireplace asking why the fuck would Mickey do that to him. Why would Mickey betray him? He was like his son, his prodigy, the only one he trusted to give him a solid plan, and Mickey just left. He also implied that the bottles in front of the fireplace were for drinking to forget Mickey, even after five months and Mickey was just like "K... After all this time?"
Mickey could only say he wasn't cut out for gang life, which wasn't much, but was a simplification. He said that the crews he rolls with, they enjoys his plans but they don't realize that everything he knows, he learned from K. And there's something about K sitting on that grand couch, and Mickey sitting on the rug, hugging his knees, looking up at him and softly admitting he learned everything from him but no one knows that ("They say they know everything I'm going through... They don't know how much I miss you" sorry song lyrics)
The book on the coffee table was said to be K's book and Mickey was supposed to have a chapter, but K burned the pages of it. For some reason I imagine a bottle of vodka thrown at the fireplace and the broken glass mixing with the burning pages.
They talked about the people around them. Ramee-and his sex habits and Carmella and if there's something between her and Mickey- Lang, and X. About why they keep X around-Buddha, Mickey, and Jean Paul go way back(Rust era is "canon" to some degree to Team Rocket) - about how he's a great hacker-and what happened to Mickey the great hacker and why was Mickey being benched? K is genuinely one of the biggest supporters for Yuno and Mickey hacking vs X I think. But Mickey pointed out K had to deal with a lot from Double R and K was like of course I do but they're my baby boys. My sons. And Mickey was like "Yeah, well."
K's mom. I guess Mickey reminded K of her so he gave Mickey her ashes??? Only he killed his mom because she abandoned him in the jungle and it was a warning. That one day he could wake up in a bad mood and decide to kill Mickey. But that sounds unlikely. Then he offered Mickey leftovers... Then remembered he doesn't have a kitchen.
He said he'd show Mickey(And only Mickey) his true form. Big D, poor guy, walked in on it and Mickey being in awe and it was awkward. Big D was just like "Oh-uh-what did I walk in on?" while K ordered him out and Blau was muted and giggling.
All in all, much needed closure. I think they couldn't have had this conversation back in July when everything was so... heated and tense but this felt good. I hope the other guys will lighten up on Mickey too. He and Randy need to have a conversation like this. I know Randy was the most betrayed and they slowly had to work up to speaking terms again. It's been fun to watch on Twitter because one person I follow will update on them and I'll aww because slowburns.
