D DA who linked the song elsewhere: yeah, I love the song/video but I kind of have to divorce it from its context in the episode.
IDK, I have a lot of Valencia feelings. I think it's hard to read something more into Valencia's reaction in the context of that specific episode. But we also know that Valencia has serious issues she's not dealing with at that point in canon, that she doesn't know how to have female friends or genuinely connect to other women, and that she does eventually get out of her toxic relationship, work on herself, and end up with Beth... and I also do think we're meant to think that Valencia connecting with Rebecca as a friend is part of the reason Valencia moves towards that. (e.g. Valencia watching how-to-be-funny videos on the internet to connect with people comes up in her first meeting with Beth.)
Separately from all of that, I think the canon is seriously short-changing Valencia and I want them to actually give us something more than a meet-cute with Beth in the final season.
