Ah, now that’s a tough one. But I would say episode 5. Not only did we get Zhao Yan looking exceptionally good in that episode…
… Zhao Jue escaped and we got this wonderful scene in his cell when Zhan Yao noticed the pattern within the pattern and his brain went haywire…
… then we got the scene with Zhao Yan, Zhan Jue and the professor on the boat where Zhan Jue was so very creepily proud of Zhao Yan’s ability to make highly intelligent people still feel like idiots…
… and then, of course, the cherry on top, the PCR scene with Bai Yu Tong and Zhan Yao where Yu Tong had to save Zhan Yao’s life – while cursing him to high heaven for being a fool because he was so scared that Zhan Yao might actually die on him!
So yes, this episode was chock-full of exactly the kind of things that I love and adore. Just incredible ♥♥♥
Which one is yours?
this definitely is one of the most beautiful episodes of this show! (at least so far) funny how a lot of people in this fandom say, this is their favourite episode. but honestly? It has everything! Psychology, badassery, Bai Yutong and Zhan Yao fighting side by side, drama, near death…
choosing a favourite scene is nearly impossible!
all those scenes we get between Zhan Yao and Zhao Jue! I’m excited what the show has in stock for us regarding that area specificially.
oh and ep 5 also gives us them both fighting off those thugs! Loved that one, too!
and the part at the haven?! it shows so much of their dynamic already! they are both so worried! and the letter? I have some ideas about that, too (also the interview regarding it)
and on the boat? how Zhan Yao outsmarts them? I hate to admit but Zhao Jue and I shared the same expression here, haha. I was also weirdly proud of our boy
so, episode 5 in total is my favourite episode because it covers so many things I love
in addition to that, I have some other favourite scenes, but in total they can’t compete with the whole episode 5.
Just from the top of my head: – when they talk under the tree about killing etc – ep 7 when they talk with Bai Chi and their fathers talking outside, how Zhan Yao will be okay as long as he’s got Bai Yutong by his side! – the whole situation with the mouse pj.. oh god, I almost died at that one!
But there are so many more beautiful scenes! It’s hard to decide
I feel like it’s really easy to lean towards categorising Sophie as the mom friend but like, no. no Sophie is the Cool aunt who’s always slightly tipsy and whisks you away for impromptu shopping trips and lets you drink but Eliot, Eliot is the mom friend.
Can promised to prove himself, to show Tin he cares and loves him. After a few weeks of Can bending over backwards, Tin has to ask an important question. Is Can doing this to prove himself to Tin or to himself?

Shout out to my Arabic teacher that looked at us yesterday mid-lesson and said, “I’m worried. You all look exhausted and depressed.”
Of course we were all like, “Oh yeah we’re dead inside, you haven’t noticed?”
And he snapped shut the textbook, threw up his hands and said, “That’s not healthy! No more vocab! Time for dancing!”
And he taught us a dance from Iraq and we danced instead of doing vocab. We didn’t stop dancing until he saw all of us laughing and was satisfied that we were all feeling better. It was perhaps the coolest, most kind-hearted thing I’ve ever seen a college instructor do.
2. (what if Can had ruined everything and Tin never had forgiven
him? What if Tin had never trusted him again? What if Tin had gotten
over Can? What if someone else had come and had taken Tin away from
him?) Can embraces Tin so hard into his chest, plants kisses everywhere
on his face and mutters in Tin’s ear “I’m never letting you go”
Oh wow, Anon, this hits me right in the feels. But yeah, I can totally see this happening. At times, a quick dash of anxiety will hit Can, reminding him just how close he was to losing Tin permanently. And so what if some nights, he will hug Tin just a little bit tighter, burrow his lithe body in the heat of his lover’s warmth and kissed him senseless? Nobody has to know.
Nobody but him will ever know just how stupid he once was for letting fear and irrationality override him. How dangerously close he was to lose Tin’s love forever.
This is your heart, and you should never let it rule your head. I’ve always assumed that love is a dangerous disadvantage. Thank you for the final proof. — Sherlock Holmes
