Ohh, that actually makes sense. And yeah, she just played along with Val, making up this whole story, oh, huh, yeah, it made me…dizzy? (and then Val’s cheesy ass was like I’ll make you dizzy).

I loved your little analysis on that pill scene! When I watched it i was so intrigued by Juls reaction at that moment and later on when they are in the room and she lies to Val sayin she did take the pill. I always wondered why she chose those actions. I picture that Juls doesn’t drink nor does drugs because of the environment she grew up in surrounded by narcos and all that, her life is shitty but she never resorted to that for solace
Aw, thank you! Right? Just to go along with the mood, I guess. From what I’m seeing, most of us are guessing that at that point, she already knew about her feelings. God, can you imagine, liking what you think might be a straight girl but she keeps treating you like how Val treats you? What kind of sweet torture…

i absolutely love it when u pick apart scenes boo. abt the pill – imho i don’t think jul ever rly considered taking it, i think the panic moment was more like “val rly obv wants me on her level, how do i get out of this without ruining her mood”. after all she’s had no problem saying no to alcohol even with repeated offers and pressure, even in high stress moments. i actually think that discipline with herself without judging others is a super attractive quality about juls..
Thank you again! You guys are all probably right, which I like. Girl sticks to her guns. And you’re so right about the part in bold! Principled but not self-righteous is such a fine line and she walks it with aplomb. “This is what’s good for me but you do what’s good for you.” And then she spoke up when it was clearly not good for Val.
But we all agree, it was really good acting by Barbara, right.
