      Jayce IS NOT sexually or romantically interested in Caitlyn. She's the young daughter of his one time benefactors! The girl was 12 the last time she was seen in the show. The flowers that she threw were GET WELL flowers because she had just been in an explosion the night before. There were tons of other flowers where she threw his, undoubtedly from other well wishers.
      He even asked her if she was feeling better and if she should be up and she blew that off too. Caitlyn is simply more interested in her police work than her own health or safety. She's eager to prove her own worth and not be coddled by everyone around her, including Jayce.
      Jayce offered her that job because her parents had her removed from the enforcers. He was trying to do the right thing without patronizing her. The only way that ANYONE would think that Jayce at 24 had fallen for a 12 year old girl and was pursuing her at 31 would have to be watching the show completely without context. And the context is EVERYWHERE.
      She's like his kid sister and she's tired of not being taken seriously.

    I appreciate the scene where Silco is shouting at Jinx over her loud music in particular because it's such a delightfully twisted moment of a teenage daughter being in trouble with her dad, she's blasting her music in her room, and he has to yell at her to shut it off so he can chew her out.

      It's also one of the many good moments they use to establish Silco is actually a father figure rather than simply a manipulator - he's visibly furious, he's shouting and ranting, and yet Jinx is utterly unafraid because she knows she's about to make him proud.

    Btw Jayce was 24 when Caitlyn was 14-15. I don't think he sees her in a romantic light , more like a little sister vibe. The flowers were probably a "get well" type of flowers , considering she had tons of them in her room ,because she was injured.

    Silco has the most understated character change after the time skip. Look at the difference between how he treats Sevika and Jinx, to one he acts as the Bond villain punishing a subordinate for something they couldn't control, for the other he speaks softly and relentlessly covers for her mistakes. He has a monkey mug that Jinx painted, and trusts her to inject something directly into his goddamn eye. I'm not sure if I would even trust my doctor with something like that.
    Before, he didn't bat an eye at slaughtering the Piltover Sheriff on the streets, now, he's genuinely enraged at Jinx for killing 6 Enforcers. He's almost acting like Vander, maintaining a status quo rather than being a ruthless extremist like we saw him in the previous act. It is only the prize Jinx procured that shows he still has his revolutionary ideals.

    Talking about Jinx's place, I really like the symbolism that she lives in a messy workshop, with her childish graffitti (very much the opposite of Jayce's and Victor's clean workshop). But It's also a narrow platform with no railing hanging over a bottomless pit. The entire place feels like a representation of Jinx's mental state.

    V=5, I=1, VI=6 / VI=Vi
    Silco keeps a Monkey Mug on his desk and his ashtray is decorated with crayons. Both made by Jinx.
    The music Jinx was blasting was from a music video which starred Jinx called "Get Jinxed!"
    THAT scene (which is JUST a father/daughter scene I mind you) had Jinx help Silco with his dosage meaning:
    "A. She had been doing it for a while if both of them are used to it"

    Jayce and Caitlyn aren't a thing - he's like 10 years older than her (and he was 24 before the timeskip) and neither of them has shown romantic interest in each other. It's more accurate to view their interactions through the lens of a brother/sister sort of relationship. Similarly, Silco and Jinx are a father/daughter relationship, but Jinx is very clingy and physical in her affections (potentially exacerbated both by her not really "growing up" and by the fact she has hallucinations so physical contact reassures her that the person she's interacting with is real) which has led some people to get the wrong idea.

    SIlco and JInx both "dancing with death" as you say is an expression I love. He uses the shimmer as a kind of medication for his eye.
    Yeah, you're right. he has taken over The Las Drop, which was Vander's bar. I wonder how Powder/Jinx felt about that when it happened. Did she get her former dormitory, now hers alone? No wonder she remains at that other place.

      @@gman7497 The show is bold enough to let the audience figure things out through hints/visual cues instead of blatantly telling them, but unfortunately the practice of being blatant in shows is because the audience is often too dense to pick up on shit, or at least have gotten so used to being spoon-fed information they lost the ability to pick up on it. As evidenced by how often people get confused by the show.
      Things I've noticed that throw a lot of people are the monkey bomb (it doesn't explode multiple times, it's shown from multiple perspectives), the Firelight being Vi, and Vi turning herself in (it's astounding how many reactors/viewers in general don't realize that's what's happening). Oh, and also how many people don't realize that Vander and co. would have escaped if Powder hadn't interfered (the hole was big enough, Vander was freed, and Deckard wasn't anywhere close to getting that door open).
      *spoiler for future episode*
      Also so many of them have no clue what's happening during the scene where Powder uses the flare. From people I've watched with: "what's she doing?" "What's Silco doing?" "Wait, what happened?" "Wait, how did Caitlyn and Vi get there?" etc. Really frustrating.

    I can certainly say that the hextech gem does make the gauntlets lighter; cause you can see even in this episode that when they are not powered on, the gauntlets are really heavy but when they turn on, they become significantly lighter. What's interesting is that it seems to extend that lightness to whatever the gloves are holding but I haven't seen enough evidence to confirm it other than Jayce holding a boulder with them.
    Just make note of the weight they have on their users when they're on vs when they're off and you'll notice this too.

    Regarding the big glove. It seems to be implied that the gauntlet becomes lighter when powered, as we see Jayce struggle to lift it before he puts the sphere in. And we have already seen hextech mess with gravity. So I think the gauntlet is actually supporting itself in some way, which is why Jayce is not only able to lift it, but a massive boulder.

They were "get well" flowers, she almost got blown up a day or two ago in the Jinx attack. She grabs and drags him inside to show him her investigation, she only starts acting cold once she understands Jayce is there to offer her a job, and that her parents have meddled with her work again, basically had her fired and sent Jayce to give her a new "safer" job. You misread the whole vibe of that scene. The focus was more on Caitlyn's motivations, it wasn't about her and Jayce.

      It's possible he kept her alive due to feelings of guilt from the whole fiasco he caused by informing Silco of the arrest, but obviously not THAT much guilt since he left her in there to rot and receive regular beatings from the guards for 7-10 years (however long it's been).

    Powder/Jinx is supposed to be 15 or 16 here which has been pretty solidly confirmed so that really only leaves how old she was at the beginning which isnt really as clear.
    We also know Jinx is 21 while participating in the League of Legends game and this is obviously before that and more likely than not its quite a while before she joins up.
    Some say shes 11 in the first 3 episodes but I really dont think she looks 11.
    Id say shes maybe 8 or 9.
