[orderlychaotic]

I'm starting to believe that Ainsley is the most toxic Whitly family member when it comes to Malcolm's mental health.

Like, what she put him through " *just* to be sure you'd never mess with my head again"... 

Wow, toxic af

I dont think I ever posted these here, but I got a Dva Figma a while ago.

Prodigal Thoughts Of The Week: “Designer Complicity"

Hello there Prodigies.

Since Prodigal Son quickly became my new favorite show, I wanted /needed to share my obsession with someone. Anyone. (that sounds desperate, but don’t judge, ok?!).

So here it goes...

"Never speak of her again"

Something doesn't add up with Jessica's story though. The girl in the box, "Never speak of her again"...wait, so Jessica thought Martin had an affair with...a girl in a box??? This doesn't make sense. For Malcolm's sake I hope I'm wrong, but I still feel like Jessica isn't as clean as she claims to be.

And you triggered this memory by purposely inhaling chloroform? *Prodigies applaud* | It seemed like a good idea at the time * Prodigies face palm*

Malcolm, rushing out of his session as soon as Gil calls him: “Thank God...Gil what do you got?”. Considering work a way to escape your negative thoughts? Check.

“Axel is a suspect, because he's acting suspicious”... LOL

"Your father is a serial killer, yet after all these years, I'm still the monster. Cue to my intitial doubt...

“I don't need you to love me Malcolm, I just need you alive”. Don't we all? #TeamSaveMalcolmAtAllCosts

You do keep coming back. Which answer do you want to hear?

At first, Martin seemed like a cuddly serial killer. But it's in scenes like this one that remind me that he IS a vicious, narcissist and egoistical person. At least he looks like it, being manipulative of his own (very much troubled) son...wow, heartless much?

You okay? | Yeah, never better. | So, that's a "never better" shaky hand, then?

Dani got Malcolm to smile....More of this please and thank you.

Also, I absolutely love how he feels free to confide in Dani. It shows that he trusts her. Somebody that Malcolm can trust. He needs someone outside of his family ring, or who is tied to The Surgeon case like Gil. He needs friends, he needs love. Give love to my baby Malcolm!

Ainsley wants to interview The Surgeon.. “ Does dad really watch my reports? “

Uhm, girl, maybe the main reason you're the only "sane" person in the Withly family is because you have never been in contact with him?

Stupid genes run in the family, clearly. At least Bright as a valid excuse because he's sick...Ainsley, what's your excuse???

No man, don't turn your creepy profile vision on me.

I love this Good Cop Shaky Bad Cop dynamic that JT and Malcolm have going on.

"You're gonna die, Roger"

Malcolm totally lied straight up to his face to get intel on Tatiana's murder. Bright, manipulating Roger... The end justifies the means I guess, but that was a page straight out of The Surgeon's book. Cold * shivers* 

Dani: That was impressive. For a second there I thought you were really scared.

Malcolm: Trust beats fear. I knew you were coming.

That’s exactly what Malcolm needs imo: Someone to acknowledge what he’s good at (impressive), a group of people that he can trust.

Why are your hands so cold?

Me: Why are you guys so cute? Totally shipping Dani & Malcolm...duh.

Malcolm watching his mother's evidence tape... Stunning acting by Tom. Marvelous. 

“Please, call me Dad” * creepy af smile* The plot thickens.

Prodigal Thougths of the Week: “Wait & Hope”

It’s official, Prodigal Son is the kind of show that makes me sad when the episode is over because it means I have to wait an entire week for the next one.

Also, can you hear that sound, Prodigies?

It’s the sound of the Brightwell ship sailing!!!!

And the Brightwell goodness was just the cherry on top, because this episode was plain amazing.

The action, the suspense, the romance, the literature references, the comedy....it had everything I love about a show!

Also, can we talk about the  dynamic between Malcolm/Dani/Dr. Whitly? Totally unexpected and delightful. It was the kind of content I didn't know I needed! More of this please, Prodigal writers!

Finally, let’s not part ways without having one minute of silence for Gil's car...

Prodigal Thoughts Of The Week: “The Trip”

Hello Prodigies!

First of all, thanks for reading my thoughts about the previous episode. I really appreciated it. 

BUT you're not reading this to get my soppy thoughts of the moment. Nope, you're here for the Prodigal Thoughts Of The Week! So here goes: 

“Would you believe that homicide appears to be the only thing keeping me sane?! [pause] ... Solving, not doing”.  

Thanks Malcolm for pointing that out... To the outside world, this might appear to be the only thing separating you from The Surgeon. Sad, but might be true.

“What did I say?”

This is a quote that made me love Malcolm even more (and I didn’t think it was possible). Here’s why: the fact that Malcolm asked Gil what he did wrong to upset Dani was such an underrated moment. It shows that Malcolm cares about other people's feelings. Not that I had any doubt about this, but most of the time, people suffering from health issues are portrayed as egoistical and self-centered on television shows (Sheldon Cooper on TBBT is the prime example). In this case Malcolm is everything but that. I LOVE IT. So refreshing to watch.

Same when at the end of the episode, he brought Dani some tea "Earl Grey" because he remembered she likes it. 

"I want to help you but I can't do that until you help me understand"

Malcolm also pays close attention to his friends' needs. He's typically doing for others what he'd want them to do for him. MY THOUGHTFUL BABY

Eve Blanchard * smiles* 

Me: I don't trust her.

You're profiling a window? 

Dani, girl, I’d say Bright profiles everyhing that moves, and yet a window doesn’t move so... there goes my theory.

When my father was arrested, you helped to fill that void. You showed me what a good man looks like. What a good man is.

You know what? I will never forget this. Thank you, for taking care of me.

What are friends for?

Wait, we're friends? Really? I'm out of practice with friends. With companionship.

This is so sad. And that's why I'm all for Dani & Malcolm being just friends.... for now. I'm rooting for them on the long run.

When Malcolm was washing up, he had this big smile on his face that made me realize how much I would like him to smile more. This is rather depressing, isn't it? Hello Darkness my old friend.

Yet here I am. Wearing your dad's cardigan.  Nobody ever said the subconcious was subtle.

Malcolm is so scared of becoming like his father (nice throwback to the pilot... well done writers)

Why is my jaw killing me? I punched you. It worked, I slept 5 hours. I should have you slap me every night.

Sleeping pills are overrated nowadays... Am I right?

That's all right, I got issues with trust.

You can trust me.

Dani opening up about her past. Because she clearly trusts Malcolm. And yet she said she had issues with trust earlier in the episode. That is growth. Baby steps. Dani and Malcolm are both making baby steps in this episode, to get to a point of trust (link to a fanvid of mine, that I humbly consider to capture my feelings about Malcolm & Dani)

 > I'll take care of your mind  < 

Eve... UGH

Yes Eve, we know, Malcolm is pretty. But get off my baby. You're shady, and I don't trust you. 

Next week: What did dad do? What did we do?

I'd say it would be too dark for the show to get the the point of having Malcolm unintentionally help his father to cover up a murder to do something illegal...but hey, who am I kidding? This is Prodigal Son and its darkness is exactly what pulled me in. SO BRING ON THE DRAMA.

Literally me to myself on a delivery last night.

GPS: "Turn right on Sarnus drive"

Me: "Ah yes. Sarnus. My favorite character from Meteroid. Good old Sarnus Aram"

Please send help, I'm going insane.

Not so hot take in light of the new FF7R trailer: Tifa can use me as her doormat any day of the fucking week.
