Ep 2. Kiss

In this episode of Run, titled "Kiss," we find our two main characters, Ruby and Billy, on a train heading to Chicago. As they ride the train, tension continues to build between them as they try to avoid discussing the true reason why they fled their individual lives for this impromptu trip across the country.

As they attempt to settle into their sleeping compartment, they encounter an eccentric older couple who take an immediate liking to the pair. The couple insists on sharing their food and liquor with Ruby and Billy as they talk about love and relationships.

The night grows later, and as the train continues to journey through the night, Ruby and Billy eventually find themselves alone in their compartment. As they lay there in silence, a palpable sexual tension begins to take hold. Neither one of them wants to make the first move, but eventually, they both lean in for a kiss.

This kiss sets off a chain of events that will have a profound impact on their trip and their relationship moving forward. As Ruby attempts to process the implications of this new development, Billy struggles to reconcile his feelings for Ruby with the other important relationships in his life.

Throughout the episode, we also see flashbacks to both Ruby and Billy's lives before their trip, shedding light on why they felt the need to drop everything and run away together. These glimpses into their past provide important context for their actions in the present, as we see just how much emotional baggage they're each carrying.

Overall, "Kiss" is a tense, emotionally-charged episode that explores the boundaries of love, friendship, and trust. As Ruby and Billy grapple with their burgeoning feelings for each other, they must also confront the realities of their individual lives and the interconnected relationships that exist outside of their cocoon on the train.
