In short, she didn't get what she thought she was going to get in many different ways. She's not in the position she thought she would be in at the start of the episode, but she's so much happier with the outcome of it than she would have been having to live controlled by fear of how others perceive her. In fact, getting almost the complete opposite is what helped her find happiness and freedom. That is to say, Lacie never needed a 4.5 to get the life that she was told would be best for her. But for me, it brings about an even more poetic, meaningful ending to an already great episode. Whether this is purely coincidental or not, I'm not sure. In other words, he's similar to what Lacie's advertised "dream home" would be, but he's also drastically different.
He's a black man, but is fully clothed in a suit, has a full head of hair, and seems to be of a fairly average physical build. Something I noticed though, is the appearance of her cellmate. Specifically, a bald, black, muscular man with no shirt on.Īt the end of the episode, after reaching a score of "0" and being arrested, she finds comfort in being able to insult/yell at her neighboring cellmate as much as she wants without fear of "double damage" or "stars" or any of that crap, as does he. See more information here.Īt the start of the episode, when Lacie is looking to buy the house, a hologram and the billboard outside advertise her having a happy new life with a man.
