    My favorite part about this is how little Grog talks while the party yells and screams at Scanlan. The first thing he asks is about his mother and then apologizes. Really shows just how close those two where.

      @@OneKastelanRobot Actually quite the contrary happened before this. They all saw Scanlan wasn't doing ok and everyone was just shitting on him (although he he was being a little shit) and Vax even ragdolled him around and hsat all over his feelings when Scanlan was trying to express his feelings after he died the first time upon Keyleth's massive fuckup. Vax then walked straight to Keyleth who was feeling a bit bad for fucking up so much and he told her how amazing she is and consoled her. Massively opposite treatments and Sam, not Scanlan, did make a point of that which is probably the reason why he decided Scanlan was going to lash out.

    Everyone saying the "what's my mothers name?" moment hits the hardest, my opinion its at 23:06 when Sam knew Percy's parents names without looking at any notes. He remembered his parents names when 5 other people couldn't remember his own. That's fucking tough.

    This was a heavy one. It's just the utter feeling of realisation and betrayal on the other's faces. Laura's 'My take away from Scanlan is that we all talk too much.' and her 'Fuck him for not saying anything sooner. And fuck us for not asking.' is so important, because they realized right then and there what they had done, even if they never meant for it to be this way. But there's also that sense of betrayal because Scanlan never said anything sooner, even when they asked. Those feeling were so real. It's why Sam breaking the tension with a joke is needed. It's making sure everyone is alright after it.

      i feel like that's one part people overlook alot, they did ask him how he was doing, if not regularly, then a few times in the prior episodes at least, and he always lied. Then he comes out with all this anger that they dont know the things he refused to tell them. Not that he's completely unjustified, but it was a dysfunctional dynamic that he kinda fostered.

The Daring Trials and Tribulations of Taryon Darrington. Like, I'm sorry, but considering what happens later in this arc, this just sends me into a inhuman state of joy.

      I was pretty disappointed about it too, but I completely understand Sam Riegal's explanation as to why it wasn't adapted. When the group was writing for Season 3, there was no real guarantee that Vox Machina would've gotten renewed for a 4th season, and they didn't want to end the season on such a sour note with Scanlan lashing out at the group and leaving them. It wouldn't have been such a pleasant feeling for the season to end so bitterly and for the show to not get renewed for season 4 (essentially ending the whole show so bitterly).

      Because they treated his life as a joke, because he is a joke, he is the comedic relief. That's his role, the role he chose and upheld...until, slowly but surely and then all at once: Scanlan realized he could no longer live like that.
      By then however, it was far too late for anyone to do anything healthy about it.
      He needed to leave, to reset.
      And also to be in the right place at the right time to warn the others about Vecna's impending return, or else Vox Machina may have only learned of this when Thar Amphala arrived in Illsyra.

On a meta level, this translates to Sam being genuinely uninterested in the somewhat melodramatic roleplay the cast (sans Travis and Ashley) had been engaging in and them respecting his space in kind. Notice how no one intervenes during the Spice addiction. It's not because they don't care about Scanlan, it's because they figure Sam is pursuing a comedy angle and don't want to step on it.
      Also, reminder that Vex and Vax were also extremely secretive about their mother's name and never openly discussed it in front of the party. Scanlan only "knows" it because Sam printed out a page from the CR Wiki and genuinely forgot they hadn't volunteered the info to his character.

      @@vishaansingh1019 I can see where you’re coming from and that’s one take. But clearly, as Scanlan said, he’s a good liar and has deeper meanings to his comedy angles. Heck, he hides a lot of things behind his joking characters. Look at Nott and FCG. Both comical in their own right with deeper intentions. I’m not saying anything about Vex and Vax’s mom, but he did remember Percy’s parents. All the characters had emotional backstories and Sam’s was never fought for to be investigated. Furthermore, this party has used magic on each other in the past for combat too. The staple for that in my mind is when Keyleth used hold person on Percy and they stole Percy’s gun on a guess. I’m saying they could have done more to meet Scanlan’s standards. Hence why I said “little they care to an extent”. Also, if it was “clear” Sam had not wanted to discuss such an important thing, it makes little sense for him to bring it up now as a point of contention. On top of it all, the slowest of them all, Grog, was the only one not yelling at Scanlan and apologizing as opposed to trying to convince him what great friends they are. We have different views and that’s that.

      @@arkham7033 Sam completely changed his roleplay style after A Bard's Lament and FCG and Nott represent that. Scanlan was a comedy first character who happened to have some stellar serious moments, but Matt had to basically force him into that serious stuff (i.e. Kaylie). He kept trying to revamp Scanlan to have some sort of reason to stick around (i.e. the drug addiction) but quickly realized that he was starting to stick out and decided to throw a curveball at the group with this brilliant scene. Taryon then came pre-loaded with a sad backstory that VM could resolve. When Scanlan returned, he was a much more reserved and serious person who represented Sam's commitment to opening up to serious roleplay.
      Regardless, the idea of VM using magic to force Scanlan to trauma dump against his will is insane and morally repugnant. If they had done that, I would have stopped watching.
