As I was writing it in my notes, I was like, how do I catalog how this sounded?

Oh, well, I think what could make them stick is a good deal of therapy is what is making them not stick is sort of leaving these intimate, true, real, vulnerable feelings unexamined.

and running away from the scary and painful fact of them.

At the beginning of that sort of conversation at the bar, Yaz says to Harper, kind of like laughing, how did we get here?

Like, how did we get in this place?

And Harper says, what drives anyone anywhere?

Lack, need.

And it's like, first of all, what a worldview.

That's tough, but also true.

Yeah.

And...

Yasmin can say, I just want to be necessary.

And Rob can make her feel necessary.

And Harper can make her feel necessary.

But those aren't the people she wants to feel necessary to.

She's chasing the wound of

her father telling her that she is unnecessary and seeking out people who make her feel a similar kind of unnecessary that maybe she can win over.

And that person isn't Rob.

And she watched him scratch off that lotto ticket in that gas station.

And that moment of vulnerability was never going to stay.
