UAlexander Skarsgård njengoPerry Wright.UHilary Bronwyn Gayle / HBO Iimfihlakalo eziphambili ezinyanzela umbukeli ngale miniseries ngoku yile: ngubani oza kubulala bani? Ngaba uZiggy wammisa u-Amabella? Lithini kanye kanye ibali ngomdlwenguli kaJane? Umboniso ubeka umzamo omkhulu ekwenzeni ukuba uqagele ukuba yeyiphi impikiswano phakathi kwabalinganiswa enxulumene nayo nayiphi na le mibuzo mithathu mikhulu. Ubundlobongela basekhaya bendawo kaCeleste kunye noPerry yifowuni elula ukuyenza, kwaye uMadeline uhlala enganxibanga ngokwaneleyo ukuba abonakale ngathi angabetha abulale umntu- kodwa uthini ngeAvenue Q? Harry Imvubu? U-Elvis no-Audrey?
UMadeline udibana noNathan kwaye ucebisa ukuba bona kunye nabalingane babo batye isidlo sangokuhlwa kunye ukwenza uxolo ngokubhekisele kwisigqibo sika-Abigail sokuhlala noNathan noBonnie. Kubo bonke abalinganiswa abazenza amalungisa kulo mboniso, uNathan ngoyena mntu ungenakunyamezeleka kuba ungoyena mntu ulilungisa ngeyona nto incinci kuye. Ngokungafaniyo nabanye abalinganiswa, akanalo nexabiso elinye lokukhulula okanye uvelwano okanye umqondiso wokuzazi, kodwa akangomxhaphazi njengoPerry. Ufunxa nje kakhulu. UMadeline ufika ekhaya kamva ngobo busuku kwaye u-Ed ukwisinxibo sakhe sika-Elvis ecula ikaraoke. UChloe, olona phawu lwakhe luphambili kukungcamla kwakhe kwangaphambili Ukuphola okukhulu Isandi-somculo esikufutshane, uyavuka kwaye umcebise malunga nokukhethwa kwengoma.
UPerry noCeleste bangena kuso malunga nesigqibo sikaCeleste sokusebenzisa ubuchwephesha kwezomthetho kwi-kerfuffle ngokubhekisele kwimveliso yesikolo iAvenue Q. Ucacisa ukuba ukwenza umthetho kungamenza abuye esiqwenga, esikhomba kwinto ebalulekileyo, ebingaziwa ngaphambili, ubudlelwane babo: UCeleste kufuneka ukuba wayenokunyibilika ngexesha lakhe njengegqwetha elinamandla amakhulu, awayenokuqonda ukuba uPerry umhlangule. Kukwafanelekile ukuba uqikelele ukuba leliphi inqanaba anokulinyibilikisa ngalo ukuze akhusele ubomi bakhe.
UJane uziva ngathi umzimba wakhe uyavuka emva kokuba exelele uMadeline ngobusuku utata kaZiggy awamhlasela- wanceda ukuthatha amandla kuye. U-Ed uya kuthetha noBonnie malunga nesi sicwangciso sangokuhlwa ngelixa efundisa iyoga. Ngokukrakra, uvula nge, ndiyabila ukubila kubafazi. Kwiveki ephelileyo bendithetha ngendlela abalinganiswa abathile kulo mboniso abenza ngayo ukuba amaqabane abo abe zii-shitheads ezinkulu, ndiqwalasele ngakumbi ukunyamezelana kuka-Ed komsindo kaMadeline. Kodwa yenzekile kum ngalo mzuzu ukuba iye kwelinye icala kubo, kananjalo- Isimo sikaEd njengoMntu oQhelekileyo kubudlelwane sithetha ukuba akaze asebenze ngokuzama ukungavakali ngathi ngumbulali obulalayo.
Umntu othile usakhathaza uAmabella. UMadeline ucinga ukuba ukhokele kumdlwenguli kaJane: umfana ogama linguSaxon Baker, hayi uSaxon Banks, ongumyili wezinto zangaphakathi, hayi umakhi. Usodolophu ume eqinile xa athelekisa neAvenue Q: Asinakuba noonopopi uFuckin ’eMonterey. Kodwa uCeleste uyalikhupha ityala epakini, kwaye bobabini uMadeline noCeleste bayavuma ukuba bafuna okungakumbi kolo luvo ngaphandle kobomi.
UJane udibana notitshala kaZiggy. Xa utitshala ebuza ukuba ngaba ikhona into edlulileyo kuZiggy enokuthi ikhokelele kuye ekukrwitshweni kwamantombazana, uJane uphendula ngesandi esinetyala kakhulu, HAYI! Mna nawe siyazi ukuba isizathu sokuba abambe into kuba kungenxa yokuhlekisa- uluvo lokuba uZiggy angangcola ngokufihlakeleyo kuba ingalilifa elithile. Kodwa kutitshala, kufanele ukuba kuvakale ngathi uyaxoka, kwaye utitshala, kwindawo yaseMadelines naseRenatas, kwaye mhlawumbi kubi kakhulu, ngeli xesha kufuneka kusetyenziswe ukuxokiswa malunga nokuziphatha kwengqondo.
UMadeline udibana nomlawuli womboniso, omtyibilikisayo kwaye avume uthando kuye. Ngeakhawunti kaMadeline ku-Celeste, ubuyisela ngandlela thile. UBonnie uthetha noNathan malunga nendlela ekufuneka epholile ngayo. Kwi-screener ubuncinci, kubonakala ngathi bamamele umxholo wengoma yomdlalo kule ndawo, engaqhelekanga.
UCeleste kufuneka aziqhelanise nomthetho nje omncinci kaMadeline kunye nomdlalo wesikolo, kwaye uPerry uyamgxeka ngenxa yakhe. Ingcali yengqondo yomntwana uxelela uJane ukuba ingxaki kaZiggy kuphela kukuba akazi ukuba ngubani uyise, ukuba ukhathazekile kusenokwenzeka ukuba nguDarth Vader. (Ndiyayithanda loo ngcaciso kaZiggy Idabi leenkwenkwezi kukuba ngamanye amaxesha utata womntu unokujika abe nguDarth Vader. Yinyani, ngohlobo– luhlobo luni lomboniso uphela). Incoko phakathi kukaMadeline kunye nomlawuli weqonga lithetha ukuba ukuthambisa okungalunganga kunye nokungekho semthethweni, okanye okungaphaya, kuqhubeke manqaphanqapha ixesha elide kunokuba exelele uCeleste. Ndiyazibuza ukuba kutheni eyikhankanyile okokuqala ngoku- mhlawumbi incoko yabo malunga nokufuna okungakumbi ebomini iyenze yaziva ilungile.
Umcebisi womtshato ubuza uCeleste ukuba kutheni esoyika ukunxibelelana noPerry. UMadeline noCeleste babonisa uJane umfanekiso weSaxon Banker, okhangeleka njengomhlaseli wakhe, kodwa akanakuqiniseka. (Lo mboniso usuka kwincwadi enkulu kwaye ndinomdla wokubona ukuba iza kusebenza njani). UJane ubonakala ethathela ingqalelo ukuya kwindawo Saxon Baker, emva koko aye kuluhlu lwemipu, emva koko abaleke ngakumbi, emva koko azibone ebaleka esiya ngakwelo liwa kwakhona.
Ezo mfihlakalo zintathu ziphambili ndizikhankanyileyo zisaxakeka ukuphela kwesi siqendu. Le yenye yezinto ezicothayo, apho zimbalwa izinto ezityhilwayo kwaye abalinganiswa abambalwa baqonda nantoni na ngabo, kwaye ndiqala ukucinga ukuba ungongeza indawo yomfazi omhle ojonge kakhulu elwandle njengomculo weMotown nantoni na kwaye iyenze ibonakale imangalisa ngakumbi kunokuba injalo, kodwa izinto ezinkulu ziyeza kungekudala.
