I mean, it's simply not going to happen the way that she would like for it to happen.
And so what she often chooses as an unfulfilling plan B is to be the least vulnerable person amongst vulnerable people and to put these more vulnerable women below her and to be in charge of them and to quite literally pimp them out.
And that's not a win.
And she'll, you know, it's not going to feel like a win, but she's going to paint it as a win.
And that is like the fundamental Yasmin character is like painting losses as wins and trying to convince herself that they are.
can I say something that maybe does not support the beauty and power of female friendship?
Maybe Yasmin doesn't make this leap if she doesn't meet Harper.
And I think more of the language that we hear her repeat in this episode is when she's saying, actually, it's totally fine to get political donations from a shell company.
She says, I mean, it's a gray area.
That's where the edge is.
That's what you always say.
But Yasmin, as opposed to Harper...
is really not someone capable of living in the gray area she's in the black baby like she is very much someone who lives in in the black or white the good or evil and like at this point we are seeing her commit to the evil i found that a super interesting twist for the finale of season four as we go into the last season of the show season five as we know now
I thought from the beginning that we were barreling towards like the moral loss of Harper, like what's going to happen to this young woman who is a shark who doesn't know how to stop.
And I think that like a lot of those things are still true about Harper.
And what we saw in season four is like,
Some of the ways in which she's made those things sustainable for herself or not, I don't trust that she's not going to go off the deep end now.
But I did find it such a fascinating twist to have actually gone much further with Yasmin as a character because she is less capable of dwelling in that gray and kind of always takes it too far more than Harper because she doesn't have the instincts, right?
Jodi?
Yeah, I also found that Coda a little confusing, mostly like the camera pivot to Kwabena.
