I've been thinking about this after another rewatch and I'm not sure if someone else brought it up before. In the Avatrice car scene in S02E02 Colossians 3:9-10, why does Bea say Miguel is "easy on the eyes" and not hot or cute, etc? Usually, the response to something like Ava's question would be, "Why? …because he's hot/cute?"
Married couple jokes aside, I'm wondering if Bea's response has to do with her formal upbringing? Numerous private tutorials might isolate her from keeping updated with modern slang. Ava would still be correct in saying she's 70 lol
Or is Bea coming from her denial of feelings? Since Bea lived a lifestyle that conformed to heteronormative ideals, admitting Miguel is a guy who could be conventionally attractive to "straight girl" Ava would mean admitting someone besides her is more acceptable and suitable for Ava's affections.
"Because he's easy on the eyes?" isn't just Bea's formal way of speaking but maybe it's also her way of denying her own feelings and desires. Rejecting the sense that Miguel is hot or cute enough for Ava also rejects the idea that he could be a potential love interest for her. What do you guys think? Someone tell me I might be thinking too much about this hahaha
