SEVERANCE | Season 2, Episode 5, "Trojan's Horse"

[vavaharrison]

One of the most underrated aspects of Jaime and Brienne’s story is how easily they become a team.

Early in their joint story, they stumble in and out of dangerous situations. While Cleos struggles to assess and understand and navigate each threat, Jaime and Brienne are in lockstep, already ten paces ahead in handling the problem. And with scant need to discuss anything between them.

They seamlessly allow each other to take the lead when the situation warrants, despite spending the rest of the time at each other’s throats.

Jaime notices how determined Brienne is when Robin Ryger is on their tale. When she dives off their boat without breathing a word of her plan, Jaime just gets it, responds, and tries to support the effort.

Similarly, at the inn, Brienne lets Jaime take the verbal lead. He’s better at talking, and she knows it.

All the while, Cleos just emphatically does not get it and is not synced with either of them, even though he’s an actual member of Jaime’s family. This obviously culminates when Cleos dies while Jaime and Brienne mount a counterattack and survive, with Brienne following Jaime’s commands.

Poor Cleos does a lot of work in his scarce three chapters with these two. He shows us how Jaime actually thinks about, and treats, someone he doesn’t respect. But Cleos’s most under appreciated work is showing how immediately Jaime and Brienne fall into unwanted communion.

More than just strategy, though, this immediate sync of theirs drives much of their emotional story.

Jaime experiences true understanding and, for lack of a better word, a bond with another person for the first time, which immediately challenges his perceptions of his relationship with Cersei.

And Brienne, whose default mode is mistrust, finds herself believing in Jaime’s sincerity to the point she considers throwing herself in his arms for comfort. Even in brief moments of uncertainty, she acknowledges she knows him too well to doubt him. It’s obvious she walks out of White Sword Tower determined to stop looking for the monster inside him that she knows doesn’t exist.

With this premise of their battle-ready dynamic, the future GRRM intended for them feels almost tangible. He meant to unleash them together.
