A partir da metade da segunda temporada de Mindhunter, o relacionamento entre a Dra. Wendy Carr e o barman Kay parece estar progredindo bem - eles estão até pensando em se mudar. Como são lésbicas nos 70s mais conservadores, ambos têm motivos para esconder seu relacionamento: Wendy está trabalhando para o FBI, enquanto Kay está escondendo sua sexualidade de seu ex-marido, para ter melhor acesso ao filho.
No entanto, depois de testemunhar tal baile de máscaras realizado por Kay, Wendy fica muito chateada. Algumas vezes depois, podemos ouvir essa conversa:
Kay - You're not returning my calls.
Wendy- I wasn't sure who was calling.
Kay- What is that supposed to mean?
Wendy I didn't know your voice went that high. With your husband.
Kay Ex-husband. And I told you that relationship was complicated. Why are you judging me?
Wendy - I find it a little unnerving that someone who places honesty over everything else can lie quite so
Kay- Lie?
Wendy- Looking for another job? Somewhere in Edgewood? You were a completely different person.
Kay Oh, and you're always who you are? Yes, I manipulate my ex so that I can have some sort of relationship with my son.
Wendy- An inauthentic relationship.
Kay- That is not your place to say.
WendyYou know, if you had even a modicum of the honesty that you're endlessly hocking To think that you actually made me feel bad about myself.
Kay - This is not about me.
Wendy- This is entirely about you. Lecturing me to be one way, while you..
Kay - I have never lectured you.
And if I have to change the tone of my voice when I talk to my son, that is light-years from a person who can't admit who they are. This is about you.
Wendy You're right. This is about me.
Isso é pura hipocrisia do final de Wendy? Ela está feliz em fingir ser "normal" na frente de seus colegas, quem poderia julgá-la por ser gay, mas não consegue entender que Kay talvez tenha que viver a vida dupla também? Ou ela tem medo de que Kay seja um bom mentiroso demais?
