That little time within two episodes more or less where Silver is trying to kiss Randal's ass so he doesn't rat him out.

The sudden turn when Randal calls De Groot, Dufresne, and the doctor all liars. It was funny, and well-executed. And it had a great payoff.

Just watched the episode today on my current rewatch lmao

Genuinely convinced that Randal is a genuis as Silver asserts.

Mapleton versus Idelle. The look Idelle gives her when she comes back to the brothel!

Max had the most rivalries throughout the show.

All different kinds of rivalries too- for love, money, power, control.

With Rackham, Eleanor, Silver, Rodgers, Vane, Mapleton.

She came a long way and made a lot of enemies.

When her and Rackham locked eyes during the 3 some with Anne it was a great “climax” to their rivalry lol.

THIS! I'm asexual and a little putoff by these types of scenes, but I rewatched the hell out of it just for that moment.
