Episode 5 birthday
Episode 5
>!Spoiler!<
Alert
When Rory showed up at the cabin the morning after he and Lincoln crashed Ellis and Annie’s moment- he said that he was sorry , and that he will apologize to Ellis later, too.
Plot opportunity missed bc I would have loved to see how it would pan out between the two boys one on one.
but Rory’s apology for ruining her time with Ellis is “Can I do something nice for you”. I thought apologies were nice enough? And I think it’s a bit odd to steal the birthday girl away from the friends who wanted to celebrate with her and Connor seems a bit unnecessary⏳⏰ not to mention who leaves for the club while the sun is out?or setting. lol
Rory asks “Will you let me take you out tonight?”
Annie sighs when he asks her; then says “I don’t know”
looking left and right
and is trying to figure out how to respond
Rory instead of sitting and giving Annie more time to think it over says
“No need to invite the Jonas brothers if that’s why you’re saying no” (even though she never said no)
As a way to appear charming and clever.
Was this actually good for Annie ?
She responds with “okay😊”
Which I guess is another way to introduce the next plot opportunity of the club scene. I do have to consider that Ellis is probably working most of the time that Rory sweeps Annie off of her feet.
The next part of the episode actually is when Annie goes out to find Ellis, just like how Rory went to find Annie just a few moments earlier.
Annie of course talks about more traumatic revelations but at least Annie and Ellis got to romantically talk about a bald eagle together ? Hahaha I wanted to know if the bald eagle was scripted or if they legit saw one.
I think it shows how each character behaves in 1on1 moments and how that can affect the plot of both people. It ended up bringing her closer to Ellis because of how fast things happened with Rory. Annie clearly didn’t get to decide what got to happen that night and when.
I think Ellis matches Annie’s speech habits more ? Or this is just party Rory and we already know both Annie and Ellis don’t rlly do that- they both work/academia big time.
That’s all I just like rewatching it and really sinking into the micro expressions of some of the point pivoting moments. Thanks 🙏🏼
