Bible is a phenomenal actor, and I hope he always gets amazing roles where he can show off his incredible skills.
The more I re-watch the episode, the more I realize his depth of acting out raw emotions so beautifully.
The way he acted, the fear Vegas feels when Pete is passed out, felt so personal... Like we could see Vegas deeply hurt by this father, screaming to Pete, first in anger,and then in concern, and then in panic, the words in his brain tumbling unsaid, 'you can't leave yet, you can't die, you brought me in this and you're gonna stay with me, you have to be here in every step of my loneliness, I can't, I won't let you go so easy'.
And then the soft pressing of the pill to Pete's lips, Man, that is the epitome of fragile, broken Vegas I never expected to see! Like, he knew, he could shove it in Pete's mouth, he could use violence like his father, he could use force, he was (is) the dominant one in the room and there is nothing to stop him, but he did none of that. As if to let Pete know, 'I don't want to hurt you, I'm sorry, I hurt you, don't go, don't leave me here. I'm terrified to lose you, and I don't even know why...'
The way Bible portrayed the evolution of what Vegas wants from the beginning of the episode to the ending, in those few scenes is fucking breathtaking!!
Clearly, what Vegas wanted at the beginning was to feel the satisfaction and joy from causing pain, mental and physical, to his captive, to break Pete down, to make him sub-human, to make him submit, as a punishment for making him lose to Kinn again, for allowing his father to disrespect him again, he desperately desired to make Pete feel the insane burn on his skin that, Vegas felt inside himself, and Bible acted it out Perfectly!
And then gradually throughout his scenes in the episode, we observe, Vegas' wants and needs starting to change. We can see it, feel it, the dawning on Vegas that what he wants has nothing to do with quenching his thirst to hurt Pete, it has nothing to do with Kinn or his father, the rage that both the Major family and Kan fostered to grow in him by using power, violence, competition, is starting to fizzle out, in the face of Pete's unbelievable kindness.
And Bible made all of this believable. He needs to get every award this year!
I think the series is gonna go the opposite of a Stockholm: it'll be Vegas who's gonna fall in love, head over heels, with Pete while he is in captivity; while Pete will only realize his own feelings once he leaves Vegas heartbroken, and returns to the Major house. And this will be so satisfying to watch!!
I gotta give it to the minor family, their houses (or should I say mansions), are sooooo beautiful. The safe house has such an ancient, royal, peaceful aesthetic... I like wanna take a spa vacation there!
How the heck did the most gentle of kisses come from the Vegas Pete side of all the couples????? I'm wracking my brain for an answer!!!
It's not even supposed to be romantic!
BUT IT IS!!!! And I'mma scream in my head again.
I'm such an emotionally deprived individual who is a sucker for soft kisses between broken characters. And Vegas Pete has like a list of all my needs, and is checking 'em boxes off one by one, driving me crazy every week!!!
Why did Vegas need to close his eyes to push the pill into Pete's mouth?!! Like whyyyy??? Vegas!!! It was soooo romantic, and Pete's eyes after that, oh my! My poor babey, he was like does this crazy guy like me??!!.... And Vegas, FYI, Pete only kisses those he likes, so you better be super thankful he likes you
