Kirby knows now that Harper is experiencing the same shifting reality that she suffers, and it throws him off-kilter. She's finally got a leg up on him. Every shift is entirely new to him, but Kirby has had years of learning how to navigate the shifts and act as if nothing happened. Of course, he witnessed one shift and his effect on Kirby through the window of Jinny's place. For now, he doesn't necessarily realize that she has an effect on him, too. But we've seen that in action. The close they are to each other, the worse it is. That scene in the window was beautifully shot, and it couldn't have been easy to pull off the effect of Kirby's transformation. It also showed how Harper steps in and out of the house at various times, reenacting his previous encounters. The first time we saw that scene, he remained outside and out of sight. He had no idea about the shifts and had no reason to get closer. He was still out of sight by nature of the darkness (which is why so many people like to keep their curtains closed), but he was also eager to see what happened when they connected. Based on the previous interaction, he knew that he would have an opportunity to view her without detection. But the best news is that Kirby is safe as long as he has fun with it as he did in the window. He's enjoying making her squirm, and his chat with Leo suggests he will want the why before saying goodbye. But she's gaining traction on him, too. His fascination with what's happening is giving her more than he bargains for, and seeing his tattoo opened a door straight to Leo. Leo is a confounding character. Harper is keeping him in a sanitarium, but what is it that makes Leo stay there? So often, he has his faculties. He knows that he wants to go back to the house, that it's his way home. Harper won't let him, but Harper isn't there most of the time. So why does Leo stick around? Maybe interacting with Kirby will give Leo a push to stand up for himself. He sure knew what he was doing giving her the video.
On Shining Girls Season 1 Episode 6, we'll get more information on Harper's past, and we'll see more of the girl in his video. As you know, Madeline Brewer stars alongside Elisabeth Moss in The Handmaid's Tale, and it's exciting to see her pop up here. She's as electric as Moss in her roles, and she's got a nice story ready to unfold here. If there's one thing that a victim of any crime needs in its aftermath, it's to be heard. Trauma requires patience and compassion. Understanding would be nice, but until you've been a victim, it's not possible to understand fully what the person experienced.
