Jax’s “acting normal” especially in his conversation with Pomni has about 2 explanations I’d say:

1. First and most simply- He doesn’t have the energy to torment someone in that moment. Just the easy conclusion to come to from watching the episode normally.

2. Second- That’s the “real” Jax, not the tormentor. Probably brought out by the realistic setting, and addition of consequences or “punishment.”

After Gangle asks Caine to make “punishments” and when he’s sent to his… “training” he looks genuinely disturbed and even afraid.

…Which is definitely something we haven’t seen from him yet! And then we see him act normally for the rest of the episode! This makes me think the Jax we see in the Circus, the bully, the asshole- He only acts that way because he is, or believes he is free from the consequences it would have in the real world. Having little reaction to Ragatha’s state, asking Pomni how she’s doing, and then following an order reflects how he acted in his real life, as an average or unassuming person.

Whether the jerk we usually see is a genuine expression, some kind of “mask” to hide something, or, most likely in my opinion, both. That’s not how he acted in his real life.

This episode is focused on Gangle, focused on her masks. But I think the theme of masks expands over the episode as a whole. Especially with Jax and Ragatha- Ragatha speaking her mind thanks to the “stupid sauce” (lol) and Jax being pushed into acting normal and almost even friendly. The opposite of what we’ve seen of them but undeniably realer or hidden versions of themselves.

Gummigoo and Pomni's interactions this episode was wild as he didn't know who she is.

the most fun part about episode 4 was seeing Jax in pain and distress.

Today on The Amazing Digital Circus: character with untreated bipolar disorder tries off-label meds on a work day, experiences The Horrors.

Well damn. I didn't expect in this episode that we'd not only get the confirmation that Kinger had a "Queenie” in the virtual world, but that the reason he retreats into his pillow fort is because it's where he can remember his wife best, even if she's abstracted. ;_; ;_; ;_; Him hiding in the fort certainly seemed like a coping mechanism or a need to feel safe by being in there, but it being linked to the last memory he has of his wife and regaining some sense of sanity is a punch in the feels. Now excuse me while I grab some tissues. ;_; ;_; ;_;

[smallpwbbles]

I’m still not over the fact she could randomly just do that
