She’s said that she needs a pimp otherwise she gets lazy and I think Lori hoped to find a man to give her a sense of direction. Gets off at Port Authority, no pimps approach her - Lori tells this to Candy like it’s a joke but I feel like her ego was bruised. Watching the episode again and knowing how it will end for Lori, 8 see her going around, “checking off “ these things on her list to try to find something to make her feel good. Do a bump? or Blow my brains out?" decisions decisionsīottom line- Amazing acting and production to make me feel like this. She knew the score, she knew the deal and she made the call.īut still. As sudden as it was for the audience, it was not really a spur of the moment idea for her. Tell her it is going to be alright.īut I respect Lori (and the show) for not dwelling on it, not dragging it out when the time came. It makes me want to save her, hold her, help her, make it all right.
#THE DEUCE EPISODE SUMMARY EPISODE 7 TV#
it feels different than most TV stuff like this.ĭamn. It breaks my heart as much as a TV character can. Even guessing something bad was coming it still shook me. I was shattered by that scene, that set up, the impending doom, I felt it coming, her sadness, the truth, the whole thing. Such a very sad ending, and a brilliant performance by Emily Meade. Then she escaped the life of Lori Madison the only way she figured was possible. When she stammered and gave the john a fake name, it was the only lie she ever told in the entire series. (And this episode had more than one symbolic exit, with Abby leaving the gun on the photo of Vincent in darkness.) It was a symbolic exit from start to finish. I think she decided how it was going to happen, she decided to trick one last time. And her moment of clarity with Eileen - that escape was impossible - was the moment she decided to kill herself. I think she came home to die or escape, weather she realized it consciously or not. That's the name she gave CC right off the bus in S1E1, and she wasn't lying.ĭuring her conversation with Candy/Eileen she was talking about being "Lori Madison, porn star.that's all that matters", and said "so you're telling me I can never really escape the life." I don't have a kid. Very powerful, yes! But I took this episode - specifically the scene at Eileen's apartment - to mean that her real name was Lori.
