Episode 218: Megure's Sealed Secret (Part 2)

Megure’s wife was a delinquent in the past. She despised the police and insisted on being a decoy. That’s his sealed secret. Anyway, Sonoko has to go to the car to put something away, so she borrows Mouri’s keys, and due to a bad driver parking too close to the passenger side, she has to enter on the driver’s side. This turns out to be deadly because she is then followed by the psycho-battered-baseball-bat-bearing-platform-boot-bludgeoner, whose son was hit by a car and died because the woman was wearing the wrong kind of footwear for driving, so braking took longer. This causes him to chase Sonoko all over the department store in the dark, smashing things. Sato thinks that the smashing sound is from a fish tank in a pet store, but Megure knows better. He knows that it’s Go stones. He arrives just in time to be hit in the head, saving Sonoko, but reopening his old wound that he hides beneath his hat, from when his wife was a delinquent. The culprit, who was the security guard at the department store, cries glow-in-the-dark glue tears when he’s told that Sonoko is just a high schooler, and not a “platform boot-wearing demon.”

Best Quotes:

Culprit (the motive): “I just wanted that woman to apologize…..to wear proper shoes, and apologize to my son in heaven.”

I do like how a calculation error early on in the show made Kyoshi out to be over 200 years old when she died, which later became an integral part of her character and story.

I'm almost at ftf in the rewatch and I can either marathon 3 episodes tonight and then watch the movie on its anniversary, or live with missing it by one or two days. Or watch everything out of order which uh no. Tbh I don't really want to hurry through the episodes. *So close* to perfect timing lol.

Hi, welcome to blue and red and parenting in 911.

Let's start with the easy to track stuff. For me that usually means looking at madney, mostly because we watched every step of the relationship unfold, so a lot of the patterns go back to them or are established with them. But the combo is present when they talk about wanting kids someday in 301, and when they find out they are pregnant in 318 and 806.

But the combo is explicitly established at the beginning of s3. 301 with the madney conversation and the bathena conversation at the hospital about not wanting more kids. 303 with buddie and the "we already have a kid" conversation. And 304 with Henren and the "having more kids will affect our family in more ways we expected"

But as with any color metas I write, every element of the scene matters, so we can go back a little bit more to 218 when Henren decide they want more kids.

The blue and red ends up attached to henren's journey into fostering and eventually getting Mara. For instance, being the color in 311 when they get Nia and 705 when they are trying to get through to Mara.

So, we established this is used with outfits and with other elements of the scene, right? So let's get into the fun stuff.

I was watching 313 yesterday and I was very 👀 about Michael and Bobby and the whole thing with Harry and the trip. Because Michael is in this reddish color and Bobby is in a neutral green. BUT when they are talking in the end about how Michael wants Bobby to be a father to Harry if he ends up unable to, Bobby suddenly has a bunch of blue around him. It's also the moment Michael's shirt looks the most red.

Another key thing with Bobby is during 516. That episode is the episode May says Bobby is her dad too. And she starts the episode in this sweater. Yes, there are other colors in it, but the bag, the belt, all add to May herself being the blue and red. Mostly blue since above we put Bobby as the blue parent.

And May is wearing the blue uniform in that episode and that leads to the scene where she calls Bobby her dad.

Something 911 occasionally does is put the sirens in one color when convenient, this is one of those moments. The sirens in this scene only flash red. So we have both of them in blue uniforms bathed in red light.

Something else that happens in that episode is the way Bobby's suspenders are clearly setup in a way to add red to him.

But Anna how do you know that's on purpose?

Well, everyone else who is wearing the suspenders has the yellow part showing. And we have a lot of people with the suspenders walking around that scene, so Bobby's being mostly red is fully on purpose.

So the combo is present when Bobby promises to do his best to be a father to Harry and when May explicitly acknowledges Bobby as her father.

So now let's talk Buck and Christopher. I made a post about this the other day but let's remake my point.

The tsunami is the event that turns Buck into a father, right? I feel like we can all agree that the thing there is to show Buck that he does in fact love Chris as if Chris is his.

So, they start out with Buck in pink.

Then the tsunami hits effectively making Buck's shirt red.

The tsunami literally turns Buck red. Honestly, this blows my mind every time I think about it. But there's more attached to this arc.

When Buck is searching for Chris, he is white. But he is carrying a piece of Chris that happens to add red to him, in a similar way that the show did with Bobby in 516.

Eddie has been blue the whole time this is happening because of the uniform, so the red ends up being a bit more symbolic, because Buck was killing himself trying to find Chris, and when he finds Eddie he needs to accept the fact that he failed. And he hands the glasses back to Eddie almost in a defeated fashion, because at this point Buck is basically putting them both in the worst scenario a parent can be in. In his mind, he doesn't deserve that piece of Chris.

But that's when Chris shows up. In red.

At this point, Chris himself ends up being that symbol.

Eddie is also holding blue gloves throughout this whole interaction.

And all of this leads us to the introduction of buddie's parenting maroon. This arc has Buck moving in shades of red until the moment Eddie tells him there's nobody else he trusts with Chris more. Clearly in blue and red.

The buddie parenting maroon shows up a few more times, on Eddie at the end of 318 when Chris is going to camp even though he was conflicted.

On Buck during 414 when he steps in to take care of Chris.

On Eddie again in 710 when Chris leaves, again both of them are blue and red here.

So yeah, personally, I think this is a very well established color combo lol.

Also, final addition. Eddie's panic attack about someone assuming Ana is Chris' mother? Same combo. But then the idea is instantly shut down by making it a trigger for Eddie.

Anyway, that's all for today, if you read this I love you 💜
