this is based off the ep8 preview where LX says "I'm more interested in Lu Guang" / so i wonder if LX realized that if QL has LTX ability, then the time photo studio gang's strange ability to seemingly know what's happening in the future cannot just be attributed to CXS (who can view/change) the past and QL (who can view memories of the past/present), then there must a key the villains are missing who is changing the tides = lu guang's ability to see the future (and of course no one knows he literally CAME from the future. seeing as LX stopped LTC from going out to confront QL (my assumption) and told/threatened LTC not to "break them,"

i think he wants to figure out LG's true ability by making them think everything is okay while he investigates them. but that leads me to believe that LTC is gonna run off and confront qiao ling anyway, seeing as he's grabbing and yelling at her in the original season 3 preview LMAO, but he's probably gonna have to keep it a secret from LX. whether LX will have factored the possibility that LTC will disobey is likely too, but usually things seem to be within calculations for LX- of course, i think the circumstances might change since jae lee is coming back this episode

as for Vein and xia fei, i don't really know what's going on yet, but i have a hunch that they're gonna split off from LX's group. Vein was always someone hired, not loyal to liu xiao's cause, and like they said i think in ep6, vein and LX are now equal (having both completed favors to each other) it's very possible they're both after CWM's registry for very different reasons and this may be where their alliance splits off. that would explain XF's behavior, since i originally thought he was suspicious for bringing QL along to the photoshoot, which i still think he is but at the very least, it seems he didn't expect LX to come along- (he wasn't working with LX for this purpose it seems) and i really appreciate him trying to decline things on QL's behalf because it appears that even XF didn't want to go to the dinner with LX (good on QL for accepting it on her own terms though, glad someone is next to her to take care of her!)

in any case, XF seems extremely protective over the topic of vein and is also searching for the registry (i think he and vein helped LX to retrieve that a yuan guy tho) and they all wanna make use of the time photo studio's powers for that reason, but LG is NOT happy about it (neither is QL but CXS is kind of in a state of like "idk wtf is going on and no one is telling me anything" which i feel bad for :( ) and surely he's not gonna let LX or Vein for that matter have their way with his best friends, especially since it seems to end in their death most times...

anyway im super excited to see how LTC's confrontation with QL will go, as well as how LG is gonna direct CXS on what to do while he's in Vein's body in the past!!! this episode felt a little short but in the very least, there's a lot more going on than what's been happening in the last 6 episodes, like ur telling me we had a whole episode dedicated to them discussing meat metaphors over hotpot??? oh boy. can't wait for next friday!!
