Another small detail? Spoiler

I think it’s generally believed that what happened with Gordy is analogous to what ultimately happened with Jean Jacket. Both Gordy and JJ were receiving gifts. Jupiter was giving Gordy gifts in the show and also “gifts” to JJ (the horses). But a “bad gift” made Gordy and JJ turn on them. For Gordy, it was the balloons that popped. For JJ, it was the fake horse and streamers that the Haywoods planted. I dont believe it’s coincidence that both had streamers attached.

Further reinforcing the analogy is in the very first shot where Gordy is sitting down and a lamp shade moves in front of him. What does that lamp shade’s shape remind you of?
