Screen Rants Exclusive sneak peek of Hard Sees Quinn offering Lightfoot-Leon a spoonful of an unknown substance. The two go head-to-head on the couch before she accepts it, spitting it out seconds later. Quinn proceeds to pour what appears to be beer down Lightfoot-Leon’s throat, and she pushes him away.
The scene is heightened by its lack of dialogue, as the characters seem to take on the roles of animal and master.
This is further exemplified when Quinn uses a jacket as a makeshift mullet and taunts Lightfoot-Leon. The two imitate a Bull Gift in their living room, which viewers also see playing out on the TV screen. It quickly turns into a wrestling match, and whether they are trying to hug or hurt is up for interpretation.
