And I've been fighting with my brain that no, I don't get to cut "as a little birthday treat" 🙃🫠

There were only two scenes with no dialogue, and honestly I felt incredibly seen. I was fully expecting them to revisit it somehow during the finale but honestly the entire season is just a quick glimpse into one day of these characters' lives. First scene is just a quick shot of her scars on her thighs, blink and you'll miss it but it sets up that second scene so well. The way she stares at the tool in her hand, working her jaw as she has that internal battle before making the decision to pocket it and go back to her shift. Its a long con. She's not going to run into the bathroom and cut midshift, which is I guess where I expected this show to go. It was just such a realistic take on what being an adult who struggles with self harm is like.

Many people think they will bring it back up in season 3 and I wouldn't mind that, I feel like the show could continue this plot without sensationalizing it too much.

Signed, a medical professional who has held and stared at those very same tools at work maybe more than she'd like to admit (but has yet to actually pocket one)
