So ‘don’t Drink The Water’ Was Just Revealed To Be The Title Of S8 Ep17 Right. And A Lot Of People

so ‘don’t drink the water’ was just revealed to be the title of s8 ep17 right. and a lot of people are making the connection between water and eddie’s arc in s8a, where the priest tells eddie, “you were denying yourself because you don’t feel worthy,” as eddie is trying to come to terms with his failure as a father and put on a mask (ie mustache) as a metaphorical “beard”. you know, a lot of these things that can be related to the repression of his feelings. you know, maybe towards a man. but, there’s more. don’t drink the water can refer to one of two songs - the one by the dave matthews band or tears for fears. and honestly, whichever one it is…

the tears for fears song also references a gay man in its opening (through a slur so i will not be sharing), but either way there is a connection between ‘coming out’ and ‘showing emotion’ and drinking water in a way that has been directly tied to eddie. “do not (still) drink water, but use a little wine” (and for eddies juice metaphor, id like to add that wine is fermented juice) is a biblical passage (timothy 5:23) tells the reader to consume such things for their own joy and health, so long that it’s in moderation. with eddies storyline, drinking juice in moderation represents trusting himself and going after what he wants (buck) without punishing himself. don’t drink the water can also be a kidnapping plane story, like the 1969 or 1994 movies by a certain awful person but rg being on set in kenny’s videos gives me the slightest inkling it may have something to do with a certain edmundo diaz
