Mesmerized - Tumblr Posts
I like episode four, Sweet Dreams and episode seven, Mesmerized.
And I like them both because we get to see a little bit into Lockwood’s character. Like more in depth.
In episode four after Lucy says she can talk to the skull and she brings up the room that Lockwood keeps hidden. And Lockwood ends up yelling at her. It’s like one of the only times he really loses it and yells.
And afterwards when he apologizes, along with it being a cute Locklyle moment, he also talks about his past. This is the most he’s opened up so far, even if it’s not specific. Says that he was orphaned at a young age and “that’s what’s behind that door”.
So not only is he being vulnerable, which I imagine is something very hard for him to do given everything that has happened in his life, but he’s also using that vulnerability to say ‘I believe you’.
He apologizes for yelling and how he reacted. And says that he believes her “about everything”. That is such a big thing in my opinion. Not to get too personal but something like that — to be believed in — I think it’s underestimated how important that is.
Basically, it’s a really nice moment for Lockwood. He really opens up there. And I also think Lucy takes it well. She doesn’t push him to tell her more. She allows him to say what he’s comfortable with. She listens (cause she’s a Listener. Get it? Yeah, that was unintentional). She acknowledges what he’s saying and doesn’t push for more.
And on top of that, Lockwood saying he would shine his spotlight on her! Lucy hears him. While Lockwood sees her! I love the similarities there!
It’s also kind of why I like episode eight, Mesmerized. When Lockwood takes things too far again and gets someone else hurt (killed) and ends up having a panic attack. I think this again shows his character. Shows what he cares about. That when he’s no longer acting like everything’s in control (cause it’s not) what happens when that breaks. It kind of exposes what kind of person he is.
He’s a kid. He’s always trying to prove himself. To others and to himself. That he’s capable and talented and whatever else. Then someone, an adult, had to make a terrible adult decision based off of Lockwood’s decision.
Breaking down because of regret or empathy he feels towards that agent shows that he cares. And it reminds me of episode three, Doubt Thou the Stars, when he says “come on Luce, I’m not a monster”. I mean, he was kind of joking, but it makes me wonder if he genuinely fears that sometimes. Once again showing his character.
And how his panic attack was handled by Lucy I think was nice too. Like there is never a good time to have a panic attack and running for your lives seems like an especially bad time. So despite being terrified herself. Trying to drag them both out of the way of danger while still trying to be gentle and forceful when stepping in front of him and telling Lockwood to look at her. As well as reassuring him that he made the right decision. That the bone glass is too important.
And at the end when they are finally safe for the time being. Lucy is now safe to feel her feelings. Those feelings being anger, mostly. So she did help Lockwood, but now he needs to start holding himself accountable to be “just reckless enough”. And I think episode eight helped him realize that.
