    When Powder was home by herself and freaking out she was having a panic attack or a meltdown.

      You see it in how clingy she is with Silco. Most 18 year old girls don't still sit on their father's lap and such but she needs constant affection and reassurance from him. She is anxiously attached due to her abandonment issues (and his abandonment issues as well tbh). She needs constant reminder that she is loved from the people she loves, and when she messes up she thinks love will be taken away.

      As for Powder, I'd say it runs deeper than anxiety and codependency. If I had to guess, I'd say she's suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder. It's defined by extreme fear of (imagined) abandonment, tumultuous relationships with others, heightened emotional reactions, and a distorted sense of self.
      Flipping between "I HATE YOU" and "I LOVE YOU" with Silco and Vi is a clear sign, as well as her tendency to do something blindly destructive in moments of extreme emotion.

I've spoken to two other people about this before, a masters student and an actual practicing counselor, and they both agreed it's not that easy to just say Borderline or a Schizo-affective disorder or whatever. I'm not denying she had traits of that, I know that, but wasn't relevant to what I was talking about.

    He IS a snake, and I feel like that's how he started the interaction with that sickeningly sweet "Hello...little girl." But when she leaps onto him and he sees she's been betrayed and abandoned as well you can see it in his eyes, there seems to be genuine empathy or at least some sort of twisted sympathy. He knows what it feels like to be abandoned and betrayed by those closest to us. It would've been far easier and safer to just take her out then and there, but to extend a hand and cradle her to him like a child...I don't feel like that bit was an act. He genuinely understands, probably better than anyone, what she's feeling, and it's like two lost and broken souls finding each other. That one of the kindest and most human gestures can come from one of the cruelest and most inhuman people is shocking, and the way he interacts with her for the rest of the series is absolutely fascinating.

    The beauty of Silco's character is that he had no intention of adopting Powder at the end, he was going to kill her after he got the information he needed.
    But once he realised that Powder had been 'betrayed' by her sister, something inside him genuinely empathised with her, he knows what it's like to be betrayed because of his history with Vander. He is absolutely a snake, but this was one instance of actual humanity from him.
    You can see the look of shock when Powder hugs him, he looks at Vander as he processes what she's saying and then after a pause he hugs her back - genuinely trying to comfort her. He's a truly wonderful villain.

    14:00 This scene hits me so goddamn hard every time. I know exactly how she feels. That is me when I was her age. I remember having episodes like that. Hurting myself, screaming, breaking things, and, worst of all, the hate I had for myself in those moments because of how worthless I thought I was. I've been dealing with PTSD since about 8 years old, but I wasn't diagnosed until 23.
    Point is: I don't care how young you are, if you're having problems like these, speak up and get help. Don't try to bury it hoping it will go away, or hide it from people you know you can trust. And, whether you have people in your life like that or not, talk to a doctor. Any kind of medical doctor will do, they will help you find the resources you need. If you don't want parents or guardians knowing, just walk into a doctor's office, clinic, or hospital and ask for help. They will, even if you've gotta sit in the waiting room for a bit. HIPPA laws protect your confidentiality in most cases, though I would clarify things with the doctor you speak with. I'm not 100% sure it covers everything in the case of minors, but you will be protected in cases of abuse. Don't wait, get help. Fear of speaking up about my problems cost me a decade of my life that I can never get back. Don't let it cost you the same. Every goddamn second we have in this world is precious, and so are you.

    On a more serious note, I like that they showed that Vi just needed a moment to herself to process and grieve for the family members she’d just lost, and her sister inadvertently being the cause. She was emotionally destroyed and lashed out at her sister so she removed herself from the equation so she wouldn’t do it again, even still keeping Powder in her line of sight. I can’t even imagine trying to process all that as a teen, let alone as a child like Powder. Honestly it’s just an all around tragedy from both sides.

    Emotional parts aside, I saw this one compilation of every moment of Viktor and Jayce and the person pointed out that when Mel caught them, Viktor's excuse was to sneak Jayce into his room and now I can never look at that scene the same way again 😂 Same goes for Elijah totally not thirsting over Mel but admiring the 'art'

    Powder has abandonment issues probably brought on by the loss of her parents at such a young age there may also be more to it. So vi is the person she is super attached to so when vi tells her she's not ready she doesn't understand that as her big sister trying to protect her. She just feels like she's being abandoned. And that's the same when vi has to go and cool down. And the fact that she doesn't make it back will absolutely make this worse

    I think it's good to notice how at the end, Silco understands how Powder feels. She feels betrayed by her sister, just as he felt betrayed by his "brother".
    While he is taking advantage of her emotional breakdown, I do believe he's genuine about wanting to help her "show them all"

First time she showed on screen I paused it for a good 5 mins and just STARED. I took a picture of her and sent it to my brother and said “I just found my new favorite show.” 😂🤣 That being said this show does an excellent job portraying it women characters.

Mylo and Klagger made her feel weak & useless, Vander clearly favored Vi (either because he saw himself in her or because her being older meant she could support the family) and didn't have a clue how to handle a child whose parents died when she was so young she probably barely remembers them.
    Vi did things as right as a hothead teenagers who lives in the slumps could but that definitely wasn't enough to fix Powder's problems

(Fun fact when avo stands up you can see Powder cower because she thinks she’s about to be hit again) but as she’s about to return to save her sister she’s “saved” by Marcus.
