the girl who plays tiny!Hong Ye is actually the sister of the boy who plays tiny!Tang Yi. I think it's just adorable that they cast them like that That's so lovely! I'm very pro Hong-Ye in this episode. As well as being a super scrappy badass kid from the flashbacks, she's the only rational grown-up thinking straight now. Stuff that annoyed me the first watch (e.g. her wailing at Gu Daoyi to let her go) I have no problem with this time. I also love that's she's so mean/petty - and rightly so - to GD with the tea and the date and calling him "uncle" because he's just annoyingly wimpy.
He even leaves the door open, and the car's not properly parked by the side of the road I took it that Li Zhide wasn't sure for how long the roofies would knock TY out and therefore speed was of the essence. As per my comment on episode 5 (I think), his actions are desperate to the point of going a bit crazy in his obsession. I don't believe he's thinking rationally about security protocols for when he rapes his boss. He's got some issues for sure.
The first few times I watched this scene, when MSF bursts through the door and you see Jack right there, I interpreted that as Jack having brought MSF up to the interrogation room, but now that I'm watching it again, it seems very much as MSF has forced his way through, and Jack was trying to stop him (albeit not terribly hard). This was my interpretation too. You sort of see Jack's hands as MSF bursts past him into the room and it looks to me like Jack is putting up some (VERY token) resistance to letting MSF through.
Thank you for leading the episode recap posts, you are amazing, Yan!! Seconded!! I am enjoying this so much. Thank you.
