Hey. Same anon as last week. Here, to ask you about The Purge – episode 5? Do you have theories for the upcoming episodes? Thanks :)

Hi, anon! 

I don’t have any theories, really. Just questions. The only thing I know is that Lila’s actress still has some more appearances left, according to IMDB, and really, that would have been a very lame death if this was her last ep. But where was she? Was she really behind the door listening to Jenna? Surely at some point what Jenna was saying would have made her open and pull her in. And they could have shown her not listening. So I’m guessing she wasn’t there? Which means some other scheme might be going on.

As a shipper, I very much did like that after finding out things were going to get bad, Jenna went up to tell Lila. She made a hell of a lot more effort to get to her than Rick. But that doesn’t have to mean anything as far as endings go. And we still need to see what happened to the end of Lila and Jenna (wait–could the rest of Lila’s appearances be flashbacks? I guess that’s possible, though unlikely, this isn’t the type of story where mourning is shown through flashbacks) where Lila supposedly lost control.

Hey! What are your thoughts regarding the new episode of the Purge :)? Still on TeamLila?

Hey back atcha! 

That’s a good question. I’m not really sure anymore? 

The flashbacks clarified a lot of things, or mostly confirmed what we’d guessed, but I could like feel the audience sympathy swing back to Rick during it, lol, and justifiably? He’s done nothing wrong in this and frankly was a lot more chill about the whole party and Lila showing up than could be expected. 

But that still doesn’t necessarily mean he should be with Jenna, if they just don’t work anymore. It’s telling how Jenna seems ready to suspect his motives and ambitions but is so open to the same ideas when they come from Lila. And I LOVED that last confrontation between the three of them, that was just good drama. I like Lila when she’s being up front and forward about everything, even if it’s “hey, be with me” and “your wife wants to be with me”. In this context, that’s fine with me, that’s basically what it is. Like, it would lead to less cheating and there’s no home to wreck if Jenna just wants to be with her. But I wonder if there’s another twist on the way, when Jenna keeps saying “it’s not that simple”. 

My biggest hmm moment with Lila came when they were sitting upstairs and she was like, yeah, you and me, we’re the exceptions, but Rick, oh Rick seems to love that money, I want to trust him but I just don’t know if I can, all innocent and on their side. That seemed manipulative and I don’t like that, especially since it implies there could be a lot more manipulation going on here, what with this whole party at her house and her gross parents throwing it.

I’m still tentatively on TeamLila simply because there’s still good f/f potential, but it’d be really easy to not be on anybody’s side here, including Jenna’s. Also, Rick hasn’t done anything bad yet, but even before Lila casting aspersions, Jenna seems to think he’s too into this NFFA deal, so if he does embrace that at any point, that’ll make me pretty anti-Rick.

dammit am I gonna have to start watching The Purge now? gay stuff is happening?

Lol, the weird thing is, the f/f’s most likely going to end horribly, but I actually think it’s not a horrible show on its own? It’s trashy in a way that you would expect from a show about The Purge, but I’m fine with them treating rich white people as terrible and the cause of everything bad in the US. Like…it’s true.

 I do love Amanda Warren and was initially watching for her so take that into account on my description of the show. I personally would be watching even without any gay.
