I think about maya’s stare, my favourite was when she and carina were on the couch having the conversation about going on holiday, and the way she was looking at carina and the way the lighting was making her eyes look in that scene, it made the look in her eyes during the “but I’d like to try” part a little more vulnerable than it would’ve been if the lighting was different. Yeah that was my favourite scene between the importance of the scene and the intimate lighting

Oooh, that was such a good scene. As you said, the lighting was all intimate and I actually liked that they were away from the bed because as much as I do love their scenes there, this made it not about That, that to Maya this wasn’t just a relationship kept for the bedroom. And she was definitely more vulnerable, this was one of the only times she’d  reached out first and wasn’t just reacting to something Carina initiated. She was testing the ground, not just with Carina but with being open like that with anyone at all. I really loved how even when Carina was like, yeah, Maya checked with her TWICE more.

Hello hope you’re doing well! I was wondering if you could explain what maya meant when she said “I’m the truck” in bed with carina.

Hi, I am! Hope you are too. :>

Earlier that ep, their team had been called into an incident where a drunk pickup truck driver had rammed into a bunch of people. It was a brutal, drawn out call where they had to deal with finding, assessing, and saving multiple victims, several of which ended up dying. She’d also been having trouble with the team, they weren’t happy with her as captain, including Andy, and she felt like she was ruining things at the firehouse. It’s why in the next ep Carina was like, go tell your truth, after which Maya went to the chief and said he made a mistake choosing her and should make Andy captain.

I’m the truck ??????

Heh. It made more of an impact when you watched the ep! To see them spending so much time trying to save the victims of that driver.
