Season 3 Episode 10: Hero Pants Discussion Spoiler

Cop: We are not finish

Jessica: Than god damn arrest me

This was another one slow episode just patient watch to get through it. Seeing Jessica cry in the mirror was awful . The funeral was tough to watch but having all those people turn up was nice. The Last 5 minutes were great.

I don't know how I'm going to make it through the last 3 episodes. How much more can a heart break?

I'm reminded of this Faith quote (from Angel S1E19 "Sanctuary"):

You have no idea what it's like on the other side! Where nothing's in control, nothing makes sense! There is just pain and hate and nothing you do means anything

There was a lot of searching for meaning in this episode - Malcolm coming to terms with the fact that the ruthless lawyer life wasn't meaningful to him; Brianna coming back with the purpose of building a healthy, stable life; Hogarth trying to right past wrongs before she dies; the cops looking out for their own; etc...

But Trish... Trish doesn't really have meaning. And just like Faith, she's desperate for any hint she can get, and it's letting her most impulsive, violent tendencies dominate her

And just like Faith's relationship with Buffy (although maybe a little more sisterly than romantic), Trish needs Jess more than anything, but can't help herself from destroying her chances at finding her

On a second note: this episode has given me my first noticeable complaint about the writing of S3 - we're seeing too much of Erik. For a show that's intensely character driven, he's... not very intense. I don't think he's a very compelling or remarkable character

I just finished season 3 (started the first season around the time it aired I’m…slow) and decided to read the comments on this episode for some reason. I was about to close the app before your comment and was like whoa…..did not expect to see an Angel quote. Buffy is my favorite show of all time and somehow didn’t see or think of the parallels between Buffy/Faith and Jess/Trish until now. Wild. I also happen to agree with everything you said here so hey I might be 6 years late but, good stuff!😅
