Yeah, we'll watch it again just for you. Yeah, just to see. All right. So this episode is called Full Moon Party. It is written and directed by Mike White. There is sort of two tracks happening on it. There is quieter stuff happening at the hotel with three of the Ratliffs, Belinda, Mook and Guy Talk, et cetera. And then everyone else is lepting loose. Yeah.

Right. You know what? I was saying last time that Saxon needs to confront, you know, the unassimilatable other or whatever. And it's like he goes in the zone at the end of the party, right? Like he's, I was waiting for something like this moment for Saxon when he can't, you know, he says, he's like, I don't do drugs. I am the drug because he can't handle drugs. Right.

Yeah.

Right, and he's also constantly articulating more than anyone his framework of how the world is and how the world works. And it seems like Lachlan was like, you know what, like, don't talk about it, just be about it, you know?

But he is constantly constructing this by like advising other people about how he knows everything. Oh, right. And then the drug renders him nonverbal. Right. And the drug does what these drugs do, which is a layer is removed and you have nothing but your deepest inner resources and instincts because you can't talk and have no idea what's happening.

And Saxon is finding that he he's kind of in awe, you know, like he actually is left with kind of a gentle and profoundly vulnerable. Like like Lachlan is actually like his inner self is much more in command when stripped away than Saxon's is. And I love to see that.
