VI's Mishandled Trauma
I thought Vi's most appropriate and in-character reaction would be, like, a panic attack? It's implied multiple times she was abused in jail. The situation preceding Vi and Caitlyn's lovemaking was too similar to what happened when she was taken: she was thrown into a cell and didn't know where her sister went nor what happened to her. I don't think Jinx's reassuring words would have made a difference simply because Vi's character is that she is a protector who will never give up on those she loves, not when she was finally reconnecting with Jinx after all these years. I believe Vi would have developed severe claustrophobia after all she went through in prison.
However, in Jinx's self-sacrifice scene, the writers suddenly remembered she has trauma when Warwick finally dies. Jinx warns her to get out of there but Vi is having a meltdown, conveniently making it so Jinx has to sacrifice herself to save her.
I don't even want to get started on Vi's depression, alcoholism and obvious self-harming behaviors when she goes to the fighting ring. It's all brushed off so quickly. It's just something that frustrates me.
