Pete is not susceptible for manipulation I think. He is also a well trained bodyguard ofcourse. And he is very…
Yeah Vegas so far has been able to manipulate Porsche, Tawan, Ken and even Kinn a little bit. But he is finding out he will never be able to manipulate our Petey baby... Pete's just made different.
On another note, Vegas thinks and boasts that he can manipulate anyone and everyone. Because he thinks he knows everyone's darkest desires and weaknesses.
But the irony is (at least to me) that he failed completely on his first and so far only true psychological manipulation of Pete. He wanted to manipulate Pete to escape, wanted to make it seem like the perfect moment for Pete to abandon him and run far, far away from him and their safe house... But, Pete didn't take that bait, sure he thought about it, and was manipulated for a moment to run away, and give in to his wishes for freedom, but in the end, Pete didn't do what Vegas intended for him to do, surprising Vegas and his cynical notions once again...
Some place in my heart tellinge that pete also feel for vegas and he himself dont know that yet he thinking he…
Pete is too good and kind of a man to manipulate a broken human like Vegas... He empathizes with Vegas, likes him even, he feels sad for Vegas' misery, enjoys when Vegas is happy, trusts him to tie him up again when he is so vulnerable, in a naked position. Pete is falling in love too... with every every nook and corner of Vegas, the monster, the broken son, the brutal mafia, the shattered soul, the protective brother, the generous lover.. Pete is starting to love them all, unknowingly now, but definitely for sure he falling in love
I loved reading this 😭 you made the perfect analysis about Vegas in my opinion. I think he will get scared…
Yeah, that last scene of them, Vegas' face literally looked scared! He doesn't even understand now, doesn't realize it but he's falling in love... Pete is dissecting him open one vein at a time...
There's a serious power play going on between them. Pete might seem like the one being held captive but he's going…
And I don't think they are even doing it consciously or even realizing it!! It's so fun, because the audience can see it, see the changes happening, but both Vegas and Pete are oblivious!!

And I don't hate it; if it's deranged for these 'freaks' to make love in a broken world, then let the madness ensue...

But in the series Vegas, I am getting the vibe, that it'll be Pete, Pete's going to be the first choice. Always.
