I think The Purge only ends 1 of 2 ways for our 3some. Either Jenna dies and Rick and Lila have to deal, or Rick and Lila die and Jenna’s left alone. On the flip side, I could see just Lila dying as methinks she had all this planned (party shooting + we happens in 1×08-1×11) to get Jenna to herself so that they can go save the world on her dad’s money without Rick. Dad and Mom dead = lots of money. Get into R&Js house to get Rick killed = Jenna to herself.

Sorry, forgot to reply earlier, but yeah, I don’t see any kind of straightforward “happy” ending. I think the show definitely wants to punish shitty people, hence the NFFA massacre and David, and if Lila has been manipulating people and using the purge to enact her own plans, she won’t get away with it.

So from the promo and the stills I think Lila had something to do with the attack at her parents house, she seemed pretty close with Catalina so there’s no reason she would imply that Lila wasn’t safe when Jenna asked to spare her. The thing I fear is that Rick is right and Lila is plotting against them or maybe against Rick but then Jenna wouldn’t forgive her. I don’t think she’s clean in this but I hope it isn’t something “unforgivable”.

Yeah, there’s definitely a twist or two coming, them riding out the rest of the purge safely in the house is definitely not how the last few eps will go. The promo had Rick tied up outside so we don’t know what leads to that, but I do hope that whatever twist of evil Lila we get, it’s followed by a twist of eviler Rick, lol.

I’m tempted to be a little concerned about the amount of screen time ThunderGrace has gotten but I’m trying to be patient since s2 has only just started. Thoughts on this?

Hmm, I understand where you’re coming from, for sure. To me, a slow burn implies characters slowly building to something, which requires them to actually be on screen and interacting. And just from a representation POV, if somebody’s not on screen, then that’s not really being represented.

But on the other hand, I’ve already accepted that BL is about Anissa, who is indeed continuously being rep, a very unabashed lesbian with lots of screentime. If the f/f landscape was different and there wasn’t much else, I’d probably need them to be more, but I can afford to be more casual about what I want from them at the moment. I do get that an f/f character existing is different from her engaging in relationships, that we’ve had a lot history of characters being introduced, a short relationship, and then nothing for external homophobic reasons (the writers don’t know how to write them, the network’s uncomfortable, the audience is uncomfortable). But I think the reasons here are pretty solid, Anissa as a character isn’t just there to be the token lesbian propping up a lead, she’s a lead going through her own significant character development. And even if we didn’t get a lot of Anissa/Grace, we got a lot of f/f in the last ep.

Having said all that, pretty unnecessarily, lol, I think there’s actually a fair amount of Grace coming up, more than last season. I’ll probably end up shipping them much more soon, the more interactions we see.
