Q: I don’t need the Bailey Kay Superstar Social Media Special. Maybe an assistant, so I don’t miss out on a dope opportunity because my inbox is flooded with enthusiastic butterflies.
BK: Aht Aht! This is not about the Hive! This is about the thirsties slipping and sliding into your dms. My butterflies know how to act.
Q: Oh really?!
BK: Yes really.
Q: That’s funny because… let me see… here… Yeah I definitely got nudes from… wildbutterfly and a sexybfly4liiiife with four i’s.
BK: So we’re keeping messages with nudes now, Quinton???
Q: Damn. The government?? Penny, help!
Penny: You two are hilarious. This is quality entertainment. Maybe we should reconsider the reality show.
BK&Q: NO!
BK: What’s with the face sir? Are we boring you?
Khalil: I’m just wondering when we’re gonna talk about the elephant in the room.
BK: ( Shit. How does he know?? )
Penny: Khalil, now is not the time. We’re celebrating.
Q: No, get it off your chest because you’re definitely killing the vibe.

This was wordy so continue reading below…
Khalil: Look, I gave in with the residency decision, but I’m not rolling over on this retirement thing. I think it’s stupid and a huge fucking mistake.
BK: Well damn.
Khalil: I don’t get it B. You love this. Music is life. Performing is life. Your fans. All of it. Why would you stop now?
BK: You’re right. I do love it. And music has been my life, but I’ve done it all. I’ve accomplished every one of my goals when it comes to being an entertainer. I’m ready to move on.
Khalil: This is crazy. You’re at the top of your game. Now is when you cement your legend status. All the greats are still recording and performing into their adult years, some even elders!
BK: I hear you, but right now I just want to do things on my terms and time. I want to focus on my family. I want to help other artists make their dreams come true. Maybe even discover something else I love.
Khalil: This industry moves fast. You know that. If you quit, there’s no guarantee you’ll get your spot back. Everyone will move on to the next hot thing.
BK: I’m not worried about that. If I come back it will be out of love for the music. I don’t need to chase the fame and the top spot anymore.
Khalil: Did you forget about the 2 albums left on your contract?
BK: No, I-
Q: Are you really bringing up contracts right now?!
Khalil: No one is listening to logic so yes I’m talking about legal obligations.
Q: Clearly you didn't hear one thing she just said. You’re still only worried about what she can do for you.
Khalil: Q, stay in your lane. I don’t tell you how to do your job. Don’t tell me how to do mine.
Q: Maybe you should think about something else other than the job. There is more to life.
Khalil: Here you go with your speeches on family life. Focusing on the job got me, your wife and you the success you have now. You conveniently forget that. The family sim thing is for you. That’s great. But let me and B do what we do best and make sure we all stay winning.
BK: It doesn’t have to be an either or situation. Both can be possible.
Khalil: Retirement is not both. Retirement is quitting and that’s not the Global Superstar BK that I signed. It’s sounding like Bailey being influenced by Quinton.
Q: I don't like your tone.
BK: Khalil, you’re about to cross a line and we really don’t have to go there.
Khalil: I’m just being real because you two are not thinking straight. I swear you must be pregnant or something because that’s the only time you come at me with the home life work life balance shit. But even you two wouldn’t be that reckless.
*crickets*
Penny: Bailey…
Khalil: Are you fucking kidding me?!
BK: We-
Khalil: This is bullshit. I’m out.
Penny: Khalil!

Given that Jamie doesn't act scared or anxious about Roy at all any more when he yells, like in 3.02 he just kind of talks over him til he makes his point, do you think maybe the show just thinks that Jamie trusts Roy and doesn't see his aggression like that, he knows Roy won't hurt him? Or maybe it's that Roy knows Jamie would hate Roy to act differently, out of sympathy or pity? To be clear I don't disagree w you at all, just trying to work out what the angle of the show might be if they do not address this.
Hmm honestly…I don’t know!! It’s really throwing me because I truly can’t predict the writer’s intentions on this one at all.
I will say, if they’re doing it from a “Jamie just isn’t scared of Roy” angle, I’m not necessarily disagreeing with it, but I also don’t think they’ve done a good enough job at showing us the basis for that assumption. It’s weird because their relationship has sort of progressed into the tentative friendship territory between the end of season 2 and the start of season 3, but most of that happened offscreen and in other ways they seem to not really have progressed at all, especially re: Roy’s aggression. It just feels like a really weird dissonance from what we saw in the Man City Ep and it definitely bugs me that the implications of that episode for both Jamie & Roy have never been brought up again.
If it’s something that’s still coming over the course of this season it will make sense to me!! It’s a layered arc!! But if it’s never addressed again I will definitely be confused…because what IS the angle? Roy maybe doing it in an attempt to act aggressively normal so jamie doesn’t think he’s being pitied doesn’t feel like what’s happening here to me (also roy is smarter than that I think. I just don’t feel, if he was really thinking consciously about his actions, he would get physically aggressive to the point of needing to be held back by half the team as per s3 ep2. Yelling and getting angry sure, but not to that extent) but if that’s what they’re intending I’m going to still need that to be a conversation at some point!!
