Object

Paper Cups (red wine — Mandy & Daisy; Mandy's condo stairs, S01E02)

A pair of thin, disposable paper cups — plain white, roughly 8 oz capacity — crinkled and dented from fingers, faintly stained with red wine and warmed by handling. They rattle softly when set on a stair riser. Mandy and Daisy cradle them in weary gestures, lifting and setting the cups as a small, intimate punctuation to their exchange.

Surrender on the Stairs — Mandy Lets Go

A pair of crinkled paper cups serve as intimate props: both women sip wine from them on the stairs, the casualness of paper cups emphasizing domestic collapse. The cups punctuate the exchange, making the moment feel small and undignified, underscoring the gap between Mandy's professional self-image and the present reality.

Before: Crinkled and faintly stained with red wine, held by one or both women as they sit on the stairs.

After: Still on the stairs, likely partially emptied or set down; they remain tangible evidence of the private, improvised nature of the conversation.
