Harlow implies she’s embracing “the darkness” in interview, in response to question about the meaning of her Apotheosis album
Starts leaving Easter eggs around Apotheosis (i.e., social media posts hinting to upcoming tracks—see Music Journal article dated August 2023—plus callbacks to past and future work in music videos for “Cruel Delights” and “Violent Ends”)—are there others that fans haven’t picked up on yet? Ones that hint to her darker secrets/personal life?
Despite all her questions, Naomi feels like meeting with Trevor and Bobby allowed her to make good progress. It’s clear that something major happened at the end of 2021, an event significant enough to make Harlow cut ties with family and friends and to prompt her to completely reinvent herself over the next year and a half. And, whether she committed murder or not, Naomi is convinced that event hassomethingto do with Jade’s death.
And now she has reason to believe that Colton wasn’t a good boyfriend and that it’s very possible he could have cheated on Harlow with Jade, there’s motive.
Naomi hopes it’s not as clear-cut as that, though. If she’s learned anything from her research, it’s that Harlow is far from a cliché. She might be a killer, but Naomi doesn’t think “scorned woman” is her modus operandi.
Her eyes drift over the board, moving from the Easter eggs to photos, landing on Bill Lever’s. Even though Bobby was unconvinced, she thinks about the possibility of Harlow having killed him as well. Lets herself consider the fact that Harlow could’ve killed three people, which would make her a serial killer. Then, Naomi thinks about how some of the most notorious serial killers left clues, almost wanting the police and public to figure out who they were, so they could get the “glory.”
A chill prickles at the back of her neck as she stares at Harlow’s photo, feeling like she’s trying to tell her something.Go on, figure it out.
Other clues are out there, Naomi is sure of it. She just has to find them, and piece them all together.
