Rio is living in Dean's mind rent free. He was having a nice moment, reminiscing about the past and then he freaks out about a dress, believing Beth had ulterior motives.

makes me laugh how in episode 3x08 when beth goes see rio at the bar to get back in his good graces she has this master plan to dress hot af and use his attraction to her to soften him up and the outfit she chooses is a polka dot dress that goes past her knees and her elbows. shes like you know whats sexy and will get the tatted up gangster going? polka dots
and whos to say it doesnt work LOL
Oh, it absolutely DOES work! 😂😂😂😂 That man is sprung for a good prairie dress.
Or you know what it is, actually? It’s not the dress. It’s what the dress represents. Just like it’s not like Beth is the most amazing sexy woman he’s ever met. It’s her whole persona that does it for him. The fact that she pulled out all the stops…
Like, she clearly put forth effort and was on a mission. He likes it when she’s manipulative. Or maybe not “likes” it, but is certainly drawn to it despite his best judgement.
“Anything, huh?” I swear, that line speaks so much. It’s so knowing and bitter and kinda resigned. Because he knoooooowwwwsss. He knows he won’t kill her. So he gives her this stupid little chore to do to keep her busy and “prove herself.” This man is out of control.
Can we also talk about the song in this episode? It’s one of my favorite Beth songs. The one that plays as she’s getting dolled up for him. It being played from Beth’s perspective really speaks to how self-aware she actually is and how in her private moments she sometimes allows herself honesty.
Softly, just break it to me softly
Be straight with me but gently
Tender before you kill me
Calmly, I don't freak out in public
Take me outside and crush me
Over a cup of coffee
What a joke, what a joke you made me
What's a queen to a joker? Tell me
What's a laugh to a self-destructive me?
What's a prayer to a death wish?
Touch without leaving traces
Scar me in hidden places, inside
Don't get my mom all worried
Losers outplay other losers
Guess what that makes the two of us
Rooftop city shines at sunrise
I'll let you watch while I jump
This is such good foreshadowing to the moment in her fever dream where Eddie asks her if she wants to die and she says, “Kinda.”
…what’s a prayer to a death wish?
She knows who she is even here. And therefore she knows what Rio is to her. He’s her savior, he’s her penance, he’s her torment, he’s her shame. “I’ll do anything.”

Beth: I'd have to have a bed.
All of us: RIO HAS A BED!
I love it. They just need to fuck it out of their systems already.
