The moment Charlie shines as a character in S2
The haters all want to say that Charlie was a horrible person and partner in S2.
While I can say she wasn’t the ideal character, I’d offer a single piece of evidence that puts it all into perspective and showcases her greatest strengths:
The moment when she looks over to Vaggi while they’re visiting Carmella.
Vaggi‘s memories of being an exorcist bubble up to the surface and she starts having PTSD. Charlie looks over to her and almost places her hand on her shoulder before flinching away.
Even thought her pride is still flaring inside of her, a seed of humility is planted and her love and kindness start to kick in.
”Am I hurting the one I love? Have I been too wrapped up in myself,” These thoughts and more must have run through her mind.
That one moment allows her to stop, listen to Vaggi, humble herself, and gain the strength needed to save the day and her dream!
And all from a glance! Now that’s some good storytelling!
Meanwhile, Vox’s ego and vanity propel him to strip his support system away from him because his pride will now allow him to stop being ‘brighter’ for one second!
So, anyone else share in this opinion?
