Maybe he simply puts her at ease, regardless of what he did the night before- or perhaps Arabella’s about to find out something she was unaware of.Īs she commits to her daily morning yoga challenge through podcast, she immediately feels better. This, of course, is merely a positive flashback as Bella is in the present, staring at Zain ( Karan Gill) as he sleeps. We open in on Biago ( Marouane Zotti) and Arabella ( Michaela Coel) engaged in coitus in a beautifully lit room. “Trials and retributions.” Feels kinda good, yeah? It is in the fifth episode of I May Destroy You ( HBO) that we could wear that article that feels oh so right, that we just don’t want to give it up. However, what if instead of the word “tribulations,” we lived in a world where “retributions” was more of a common phrase. Sometimes, the evil that men do goes unpunished and even worse, unnoticed. We’re not so much used to suffering as much as accepting it at times.

“Tribulations” is typically a word that proceeds “trials.” The world is pain, as is life at times. In episode 5 of I May Destroy You, “It Just Came Up,” Arabella continues to push through adversity in an effort to reclaim her narrative.
