(Shauna knew Jackie’s body the same way that Jackie knew Shauna’s. It was another thing that they never spoke about.
But it’s normal to know your best friend like that, right?)or,

Wild nights should be
Our luxury!”

Summary
“Carol."
Zosia Bartoś has said Sturka on panel shows and she has said my colleague on Twitter and she has said "the anchor at Liberty" in interviews and she has said "Carol Sturka" the full two-word name in writing, but she has not said Carol, just Carol, since a hotel room in Cincinnati ten years ago.
"You can say gay on television.”
Someone in the audience gasps, another says oh my god too loudly into a mic that should have been dead and the room comes apart.
or

Summary
BEEEEEEEEEEP.
The honk comes without warning. For half a second, Carol thinks she has been shot.
Then it keeps going. A sustained, unbroken, eat-shit honk. The kind LA people deploy when they want to fuck you up as a person.
The honking stops. The Range Rover's window comes down.
"Are you leaving the space or not." The woman says it flat, and bored.
Carol puts her own window down. Slowly, for the fuck of it.
“No, lady. I'm not leaving. I’m parked. This is a parking space, and I have parked a car in it. Like a human being is allowed to. Your response to that was to put your hand flat on a horn for what, an hour? What the fuck is wrong with you?”
or
A feud for the ages. Two strangers let a parking incident burrow into their minds and slowly consume their every thought and action

Summary
“I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”
Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”
“I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”
Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.
“Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.
After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.

Summary
Everything about Alicent is rage inducing. The way she’s so awkward she can barely make eye contact, the way her hands shake when they’re together in the same room, the way she looks at Rhaenyra like she’s the first person she’s seen in years. Oh, yeah, and the way she locked her in a freezing underground bunker.
