Bella goes even harder, calling him a victim blamer when he asserts that she initiated it. According to Arabella, a man under false pretense following a woman home and bedding her as she’s vulnerable is wrong. Terry tries to reason with her, asserting that Kwame feels bad about it, but that falls on deaf ears. According to her, it’s hypocritical for being offended by the F-word yet fine rolling over being racially stereotyped because he got laid. Though Arabella comforts him, her demeanor changes when Kwame reveals that he revealed that he was gay only after they fucked. Terry brings up Nilufer to Kwame, admitting that she hates it when white girls disappoint her.
So back to her phone Bella goes, promising Terry not to post just yet as she proceeds to make a video promoting the paint and wine ‘movement’ (which it is not.) This surprises T but not a Beatle-haired, white-suited Kwame. Putting it away, Bella extracts her vape. With a brush in one and phone in the other, she snaps a picture but an angelic Terry snaps at her for using her phone. This is going to be a relaxing, care-free day, I can nigh guarantee it!Īt Paint and Wine, Arabella is looking spiffy in her black demon horns, wings, and dress painting her pumpkin painting prompt. Mocking their conversation to Terry, he is rebuked as he may need Bella someday. Kwame seems uncomfortable with the conversation and eventually leaves. As a black man who survived abuse as a child at the hands of a straight white man, it was hard for him to come out. Next on the docket? Paint and Wine…Įn route to, Bella is stopped by Rumi ( Fela Lufadeju), a fan on the street, thanking her for the content. She wants first dibs, but they let her have the halo since she set up the entire self-care day. Hey, ya gotta preview the course before ya taste it, right? Terry emerges, claiming all they had were loads of wings, fangs, and a singular halo. She dropped the mic on that one.Īs Terry shops for costumes, Bella checks her fans’ affirming comments while Kwame ( Paapa Essiedu) checks out a video of a potential hook-up in action. Terry comes to her friend’s defense and tells the doctor since the rape and her high demand position as a poster girl for social justice can cause stress, so lay off and let the girl fucking relieve that stress with vaping. He doesn’t know, but he doesn’t like that she’s vaping. She rails into him further before leaving.Īs she’s outside filming Facebooking live, Terry asks the doctor why her blood pressure is so high. Bella takes immediate umbrage with his “racial ignorance” correcting him as she’s African and to be more mindful next time, lest he appear an embarrassment to his profession. Poppa-Doc insists Arabella monitors her high blood pressure, as a person of ‘Afro-Caribbean’ lineage is at a higher risk for kidney disease. T can only roll her eyes, though she does take a moment out to plug herself on camera before Bella wishes her fans a Happy Halloween. I mean, she did make her profession from Twitter. Now, instead of taking this with poise, she summarily takes a video proving to her haters that there’s nothing wrong with her brain, so there’s nothing with her fighting with her rapist. “Hmm.”Īt the Doctor’s ( Jonathan Slinger) office by Terry’s ( Weruche Opia) side, Arabella gets the all-clear for her CT scan. One such comment mentions doxxing, while giving out an address, which prompts Arabella to search up the term itself. This prompts Bella to hashtag the video she’s about to post “#IHSWG.” What does it stand for? The rant she recorded earlier says it all- ‘I Hate Straight White Guys.’ This immediately gets a positive response to a misty-eyed Bella. Her roomie Ben ( Stephen Wright) pops his head in and asks if she’s alright and after she claims to be, he wishes her a Happy Halloween. The faces of the suspect however change, as she’s trying to piece together a singular one from the amalgam. We open up on Arabella ( Michaela Coel) sitting on her bed as her mind flashes back to that one vivid memory of her rape. This magic is presented in the ninth episode of I May Destroy You ( HBO) titled “Social Media Is a Great Way to Connect” but be warned- it’s a dark kind of magic. We all embrace a side we don’t normally share with the public on any other day than Samhain. Whether you’d like to admit it to yourself or not, somewhere deep down, a little part of you is that which you wear. Whether you’re a shy kid feeling like a certified bad-ass in your superhero(ine) digs or you’re a gregarious adult feeling certifiable in your bloodied horror-themed costume, something takes hold.
They say something truly magical happens during Halloween. Costumes may hide a lot of things outside an ugly day.
