While discussing this subject, Jules says, “I feel like I’ve framed my entire womanhood around men.” By saying this, Jules shows that she has created a version of herself that is acceptable to men and one that men desire, but not necessarily one that she is comfortable or proud of. In this episode however, the audience learns that Jules sexual encounters with men have negatively impacted her identity and her own view of herself. Throughout the course of the first season, Jules is shown being very open with her sexuality and frequently has sexual encounters with various men through dating apps. In addition to love, this episode also shines a light on Jules relationship with her identity and sex. With Rue, Jules understands that she loves Rue and deeply cares for Rue and while Rue feels the same, Jules is afraid to truly love Rue because like her mother, Rue also struggles with addiction. Not only did Jules’s mother admit her to a mental hospital, but she also left Jules due to struggles with addiction. Jules struggles to understand her own relationship with her mother and struggles to understand if her mother truly loved her or not.
The two key people Jules attaches feelings of love to are her mother, Amy (Pell James), and Rue. While talking to her therapist, Jules dissects how she feels about love, discussing both her feelings towards others and others feelings towards her. As a transgender woman who has experienced much trauma in her life, including her mother admitting her to a mental hospital, Jules is used to pain and has a very complicated relationship with love. The episode mainly focuses on Jules’s personal struggles with both her sexuality and identity, as well as some of her family struggles. This episode however shows the audience that Jules had her own issues to deal with and although she may have wanted to be there for Rue, that was not always realistic. Throughout the course of the first season, Rue frames herself as the protagonist and oftentimes frames Jules as the antagonist, as Jules is not always there for Rue in the way she wants her to be. The flashbacks are essential to this episode because they allow the audience to see how the events of season one, which was told mainly through Rue’s perspective, impacted Jules. One major difference between Jules’s episode and Rue’s is that Jules’s episode incorporates many more flashbacks and scenes that take place outside of the therapist’s office. Jules’s episode takes a similar format in which a majority of the episode takes place in a therapist’s office and focuses on a conversation between Jules and her therapist, Dr. In Rue’s (Zendaya) episode, a majority of the episode took place in one location and focused on a conversation between her and Ali (Colman Domingo). The raw emotion and pain of the entire episode captured all of my attention and allowed the audience to truly understand Jules (Hunter Schafer) and her struggles, something that was definitely lacking in the first season. 24, is potentially one of the best pieces of television I have ever watched.
