Arcane co-showrunner and co-creator Christian Linke has teased the future of Caitlyn and Vi's relationship after their messy Act 1 breakup and sudden reu🍒nion on the outskirts of the commune in Act 2.

"Th🐎ere is love, yes. But the question is, can it survive?"๊ Linke says on the second episode of . "Caitlyn has this huge weight on her shoulders and in that position, I think she definitely feels like she can't allow herself to indulge in any of her personal feelings – and seem vulnerable. [She can't] let that distract her."

While Caitlyn is still ♔focusing on the job at hand as commander of Piltover (for now, anyway –🐎 we can't imagine Ambessa is too thrilled at the previous episode's double cross), Vi reacts to their parting of the ways with a mixture of booze and brawling.

On how losing Caitlyn has affected her, Vi actor Hailee Steinfeld says she's "completely l𒈔ost."

"✱She doesn't have [a mission], for the first time in her life. There isꦏn't ever a moment that we see her without a clear direction. Even if it's a little foggy, she is still stepping foot with so much conviction and so much confidence. But for the first time, she is completely lost."

Link♍e agrees, adding, "She's always been a very strong person until she loses her compass here, which I think is just so disorienting for her."

The first six episodes of Arcane season 2 are now streaming, with the final three episodes hitting the streamer on November 23. For more, check out the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Arcane season 2 release schedule and our picks for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best shows on Netflix.
