traitors finale redeeming the season we love to see it

the fred and runi ending (if i ever write it) is maybe my biggest big brain moment 

“so what did you learn in class today?” percy asked, glancing back at the little girl in the rearview mirror.
          
          lucy shrugged, barely looking up from the story book spread open across her knees. “nothing much.”
          
          "well, what did you think of your teacher?" percy pressed.
          
          lucy shrugged and turned the next page of the book.
          
          "nothing?" percy asked, raising an eyebrow. if he knew his daughter, she *never* had nothing to say.
          
          "you've told me that if i don't have anything nice to say then i oughtn't say it," said lucy primly.
          
          this piqued percy's interest. "this stays between us," he promised.
          
          "okay," lucy said, closing her book and looking up. "she's sweet."
          
          "and this is a bad thing?"
          
          "she's saccharine," lucy corrected.
          
          "the difference?" percy asked automatically, testing his precocious daughter's vocabulary.
          
          "you know i know what saccharine means," lucy said impatiently, swinging her legs. "she's fake. like that gross sugar substitute aunt hermione puts in her tea. it's not as tasty as the real thing and it only exists to make the person using it to feel better about it. it's an ego booster."
          
          percy highly doubted that the stevia hermione put into her tea particularly affected her ego, but he knew too well that once his daughter had formed an opinion, it was impossible to argue. 
          
          "not to mention," lucy added, "she's having an affair with henry lockweed's dad!"
          
          percy choked. "dare i even ask how you figured that out?" 
          
          "well, i-"
          
          "that was rhetorical," percy said, trying to ward off his oncoming headache. "how do you even know what an affair is?" 
          
          "is that rhetorical too?"
          
          "no, i want you to answer that one." he was clearly failing at his job as a dad if his six year old was that worldly.
          
          lucy shrugged again. "an affair is when grown-ups who aren't married hug and kiss like they are." she said knowledgeably. 
          
          percy breathed out at the thankfully innocent answer, but his relief was short-lived as lucy spoke again.
          
          "dad, have you had any affairs before?"

“so, aruna,” said george weasley, settling down on the armchair opposite her. “my dear brother can be a lot to handle. how *do* you manage him?”
          
          fred scowled at george, but runi didn’t even blink. “i chase him around the flat every night with a kitchen knife,” she said, shrugging. “so far, it’s worked — he’s too intimidated to try and annoy me.”
          
          george nodded thoughtfully. “our mum used to do that, too, though i dare say she was far less effective. nostalgic, is it, freddie?”
          
          fred groaned, slumping forward until his forehead hit the wooden table with a dull ‘thunk.’ “i’m beginning to think that percy was right and this marriage was a mistake,” he mumbled, glaring balefully at his irritating wife and amused brother. “which is perhaps the most depressing thought i’ve ever had in my life.”

hm. HMM. it's giving stellar blade and nier automata.
