![]() A clear and calmness in her seems pretty ostensible and kind of freaks out T. Once told she’s thick as thieves and black, Susy’s totally on board.Īt their yoga session later, Terry’s ecstatic about the opportunity. She’s over the moon and stipulates that a friend read it for her. He’s sweatin’ now, which is an added bonus to Bella, as she’s been asked by Henny House to read a segment from this new project. She calls out Zain… thanking him for helping her finish her writing. Bella has the floor now, however, and speaks candidly about her unfinished symphony- she was at the police station earlier because she had been raped and that she knows the identity of the suspect and has the DNA to prove it. Once the British Library came up, he grows a little nervous. He also realizes that he knows Sion from somewhere. As it turns out, his work was submitted as well. ![]() They flounder but are saved by the Bella! Mutually excited to meet her idol, Arabella is then questioned as to why her work was unfinished. They are waiting on Arabella, and, as they are, Susy subtly takes jabs at Julian and Francine as to why their client’s work was submitted unfinished for the Writing Summit. He simply laughs it off.Īt the agents’ office, Julian ( Adam James) and Francine ( Natalie Walter) sit down with Susy Henny ( Franc Ashman) and her assistant Sion ( Ellie James). Bella leaves for her meeting, and T waits on a worried-looking Kwame, joking if there are no good prospects around. “Hmm.”Įxiting the station, Kwame surreptitiously searches up if non-consensual humping is rape. Before leaving, Arabella queries if secretly removing a condom constitutes as rape, to which Officer Beth ( Mariah Gale) informs her it does under law, but the only problem is that when people don’t realize what is and isn’t a crime, they don’t report it and the perpetrators walk free. They even crack a funny calling the police Rape-busters, which didn’t land with an already affected Kwame. When asked as to why, in classic Terry fashion, she nervously diffuses the tension by telling the po-po because he’s an Italian drug lord. This includes Biago, whom she did not tell. Though no CCTV footage had been retrieved, someone was just remanded for a similar incident, so in order to proceed, Arabella has to contact any consensual relationship she’s had and inform them of the situation and why their DNA is requested to clear their name. The only problem is that the DNA sample is weak so they would have to perform a direct comparison to a potential suspect, which they do. ![]() Semen had been found on a flannel confiscated from her agents’ office. A very awake Bella agrees and immediately receives a call from Officer Funmi…Īt the police station, a brashly bald Bella, flanked by Terry ( Weruche Opia) and Kwame ( Paapa Essiedu) is informed by Officer Funmi ( Sarah Niles) that there’s been a break in her case. She proceeds to the beauty parlor.Īs she’s going for a new look, her agent Julian calls to inform her that the big boss of her publisher, Susy Henny, wants to meet with her in three hours. ![]() Plus, she does also have the condom itself. The fuck he’s getting a shirt back as it may have his DNA evidence on it as well as he may have been caught on CCTV wearing it. As Zain takes a shower, Bella cycles through other stuff recommended for her until she comes across a podcast where two women are talking about the horrors of “stealthing.” In fact, one girl cites a Reddit thread where a common phrase to use is “I took it off, I thought you knew.” This heinous type of line gaslights the victim and before Zain is out of the shower, Arabella is out the door.ĭonning nothing but Zain’s shirt on top of her underwear, she hops into a thrift store and emerges fully clothed… with Zain’s shirt still on. Maybe he simply puts her at ease, regardless of what he did the night before- or perhaps Arabella’s about to find out something she was unaware of.Īs she commits to her daily morning yoga challenge through podcast, she immediately feels better. This, of course, is merely a positive flashback as Bella is in the present, staring at Zain ( Karan Gill) as he sleeps. We open in on Biago ( Marouane Zotti) and Arabella ( Michaela Coel) engaged in coitus in a beautifully lit room. “Trials and retributions.” Feels kinda good, yeah? It is in the fifth episode of I May Destroy You ( HBO) that we could wear that article that feels oh so right, that we just don’t want to give it up. However, what if instead of the word “tribulations,” we lived in a world where “retributions” was more of a common phrase. Sometimes, the evil that men do goes unpunished and even worse, unnoticed. We’re not so much used to suffering as much as accepting it at times. “Tribulations” is typically a word that proceeds “trials.” The world is pain, as is life at times. In episode 5 of I May Destroy You, “It Just Came Up,” Arabella continues to push through adversity in an effort to reclaim her narrative.
