I may destroy you episode 83/21/2023 She is holding up our desire for easy answers and uncomplicated heroes/heroines and reminding us that real life never has and never will be that simple. I give Michaela full credit for writing such an emotionally complicated and rich story that you are forced to see the story from all sides. On the other hand, suppressing your feelings can eventually do serious damage to your relationship. Even though he cares, all of Arabella's self destructive tendencies and chaotic life choices probably terrify him!īut his dismissal of her was absolutely unforgivable and cowardly! I cried with her because I understood the bone deep pain of that kind of rejection BUT I also understood most of his reaction to her.but what a bitch move to lock the door and pull a gun! Keeping your emotions at bay to maintain the harmony in your relationship may seem like a better option than engaging in a conversation that might result in an argument. They introduced him as someone who's mother (and I believe sister) died of a drug overdose. Disturbed by what little she remembers of the previous night, Arabella attempts to retrace her steps. Series Synopsis via Wikipedia: I May Destroy You is a British comedy. The entire show is about hidden and obvious violations and those two situations were genuinely a violation of his space and trust. Under the gun to complete a project, up-and-coming writer Arabella gives in and joins a friend on a night out. Here's my reaction & review to I May Destroy You, 1x08 entitled, 'Line Spectrum Border'. Think about if a man acted in the exact same way as Arabella. At first, Ego Death seemingly picks up where the penultimate episode left off. Welcome (back) to the Not Carrie Bradshaw YouTube channel In this video, I am recapping episode 8 of I May Destroy You, Line Spectrum Border. No easy answers.īiagio had every right to be angry about being hauled into the police station (he is a drug dealer after all) and it's understandable why he would be freaked out that she just showed up and let herself in. The final episode of I May Destroy You is about self-confrontation as much as it is about seeking retribution. This show is brilliantly complicated because everything (actions and reactions) lives in the gray area. I'm gonna play devils advocate for just a minute and then flip it. She's been taking steps to heal and her relapse wasn't to drink or smoke, it was to turn to him. The fact that we've seen that (1) Biagio isn't a safe person, and (2) Italy isn't necessarily a safe place, are quite irrelevant for someone who is triggered and traumatized.Īrabella told Biago that she stopped drinking, stopped smoking, etc. She sought safety elsewhere (both in a person and a place) only to find that she isn't safe anywhere. I think the spacial and geographical component is really important and speaks to Arabella's experience. It was a knee-jerk reaction to the lack of safety (past and present) and emotional response (e.g., she seemed numb at the police station). The pendulum swung, so to speak, and Arabella distanced herself from Terry and went to Biagio (and Italy) seeking connection and comfort. To add to the discussion, the part that hit me the most of this episode is how the inconclusive police report struck Arabella and was triggering for her. I agree with a lot that has already been said so far.
