#The literature major in me always geeks out that the writers named the family Baudelaire - a French poet

You know what I feel like we don’t talk about enough?

The way Tim took Lucy’s radio off her belt in 5.18

No hesitation, just grabbed that shit right off her belt and Luce didn’t even flinch, it makes me feel some kind of way

The casual intimacy of it maybe? Idk but I don’t think we discuss that enough. Lol

Or that episode in general because there was so many Chenford things in that we could talk about lol (I also need to discuss her nightmares comment — I’m supposed to just move past the knowledge that Lucy has nightmares about Tim getting hurt or worse!? Like what? When did they start? How often? I need to know)

Oh you're definitely not the only one feeling some kind of way about this! Let me go rewatch that moment. For science, of course. No but the familiarity of that gesture, the lack of hesitation, how Tim grabs it… and the fact that he does it in front of everybody! Without caring one bit. And listen, I know this is an ongoing tradition of his, snatching things from Lucy (like a piece of paper or a TV remote). But it's one thing to take something from her hands… It's another to do it from her body. At work! And Lucy staying completely unbothered by this… So unhinged. Also, since we're talking about that scene, I love how their expression is the same when they hear Aaron on the radio.

And you're right, there were so many little moments like this one. I need to rewatch the entire episode because I know I missed (or forgot) some of them. I remember that you already mentioned one of Tim's look in a precedent post. I also loved all the fondness that emanated from Lucy's looks and smiles when she was talking about Tim. She has such a warmth to her. Or how she was relieved (and happy to see him) when he interrupted her interview at the beginning, as it was getting too personal. Or her little laugh after refusing to read Jake's text messages. And the contrast with Tim's reaction.

That's actually why I liked that this time, they had solo interviews first, before having a final one together. Mainly because it allowed for a completely different dynamic. Lucy - who's usually enthusiastic - was more subdued and a bit nervous for this one. Tim was even grumpier than normal. And he was so ready to kick them out of his office. But it all balanced itself out when they were together. Lucy was more confident, even glowing, and was able to smooth over Tim's rough edges a bit. Until he got his wish and really kicked them out from her apartment haha. The looks during that interview though… And Lucy calming him instantly by simply touching his arm… The way they ground each other is unmatched.

And yes, that nightmare comment! How are they going to drop this info and not even extend on this? Did Lucy already have them before they found Jake's body? Is this what triggered them? I need to know more! And does she wake Tim up for reassurance? Or is he the one who wakes up first? And am I really to believe that the fact that his doppelgänger was shot and dumped in a dumpster LIKE HIS EX-WIFE didn't trigger anything? I have so many questions… I'm going to need a scene in s6 where one of them has a nightmare - with everything that happened in the last two episodes, the writers even have the perfect setting for this.
