so stella definitely gifted this necklace to via for her birthday right. she definitely took via out shopping and bought her baby clothes and jewelry and all the lovely things she never got to choose at her age
Everything about this sequence just reads as her getting guilt tripped and backed into a corner. Her narcissistic dad and her own mentor both force her in proximity to him and put her on the spot, and she gives in bc shes “tired of hating him” FREE MY GIRL
Via literally sings “it’s like you never think about me, it’s all about you” and Stolas’ verse proceeds to be entirely About Him and how he had to numb his pain.
Octavia forgiving stolas in a single episode....dont fucking piss me off o my god there really just are no consequences for stolas ever all he has to do is pull out the waterworks and suddenly everyone is lobotomized into forgiving him im so fucking mad
Seeing Octavia in this episode was pretty special.
Been watching the show since 2020, and I remember when she and Stella were first introduced. Both are uniquely imprinted on my brain, I guess. Watched her come a long, long way.
