I saw this on tumbler and i rly liked the similarity.

in the entire Ep 5, Jayce and Cait are both in unfamiliar waters. Mel is teaching Jayce how to navigate politics and Vi is teaching Cait how to navigate life in the lanes.

Mel and Vi both teach Jayce and Cait how to get what they want from ppl. Mel, teaches by loosening the ropes and doing favors for ppl. Vi, teaches to make ppl think you have something they want, so you can get what YOU want.

It’s also nice in the methods in which Mel and Vi teaches them. Mel does it subtly by grabbing his cup to make him give her his attention. Vi does it upfront, straight up pinning Cait against the wall.

Amara then comes to Mel and she sets up the interaction while Vi grabs a walking-by Pip and sets up the interaction. 

Cait and Jayce have little time to think about their next move but decide to go along with it AND expand on it further, (Jayce better than Cait):

Jayce agrees with Mel and adds to the deal for Amara to get access to the latest hextech advancements.

Cait agrees with Vi and adds to the information by giving herself a background story of being Matilda and where she comes from lol.

It ends with Jayce and Cait impressing Mel and Vi with their skill and how quickly they learned. Cait is seen talking to a brothel worker and getting her to take her mask off. Vi is impressed. Jayce is seen making more deals with other councilors, impressing Mel where she then says “better [investment] than expected”.

It was a rly nice parallel that I wanted to share here.

Someone noticed the parallel between Mel teaching Jayce about politics and Vi teaching Cait about navigating the lanes in S1 ep 5
