 Arcane Episode 5

The opening starts as Young Caitlyn at a shooting competition field against her teacher, Grayson. At her teenage, she wants to make a name of her own with her own efforts by fair competition, not from gold spoon.

Grayson as a teacher and Enforcer, enlighted Young Caitlyn to win the competition as an encouragement, and shared her purpose of handling the iron, meant more the reason to protect the city. 

Scene transition to the adult Caitlyn takes a tour to StillWater Prison Island for the smuggling investigation alone. She found out the criminal involved in the smuggling was assaulted. She went to the underground to question about the assaulter, which is Vi.

I believe every prison cells has a line drawn on the floor, for the safety of visitors. I notice the floor between the red line, the outer floor is rougher, while the inner floor is shiny as new, like nobody ever cross beyond the red line, but Caitlyn crossed it.

Arcane: Vi and Caitlyn — Therapist Reacts! 

Georgia Dow, a Youtuber Therapist in cosplay described Caitlyn and Vi really boom my mind. What a therapist, so deep that I admired her videos about Arcane characters.

At the prison reception, the guard brought out the thick iron stick (a "chat"), comes with the loud bang. Exact same time at the hallway from Vi's cell door, I could hear the bang of the stick in the background, opening the door, Vi's fast breathing, is like she was expecting the next beating for "not being cooperative", but the iron stick slowly fades away from the cell, all that stood is Caitlyn at the cell door. Do you know how thankful that person feel when she was expecting another beating and the one stand in front of her isn't the beater? 

The scene at the funeral of the fallen enforcers under the now Sheriff Marcus,  believed to be the only parent to a young daughter. Then the scene of Marcus and Silco in a private room, the deaths of his 6 officers pressured on Marcus heavily, and he needs a solution to get out of bribe mess, and intended to cut ties with manipulator Silco before the councilors question him. Instead, Silco told him to lie about the attacks was from a gang named Firelights.

Powder aka Jinx, was heavily traumatised of what happened that day after she carelessly triggered the gemstone with the flashback of how Mylo and Claggor died. No one in Silco's group likes her. She became a loner herself, mentally broken and unhealed, the only closest person who appreciates her is her new father figure, Silco.

Vi, released from prison, standing on the edge of cliff looking over her homeland, left Caitlyn at the station and parkouring her way down the undercity, The Lanes. Surprisingly, Caitlyn follows, and yeah she tried her best to reach the ground XD.

Marco loves his daughter so much that he was afraid to lose his job or found bribed and sentence to prison, no one will look after his daughter if he's gone.
