Warning: This post will contain major spoilers for In The Heights. If you haven’t yet watched this movie, you might wish to skip this post.
I recently watched the musical In The Heights. I’m aware there are issues with this musical. I still really enjoyed it. There are two great romance threads. I loved the music and the dancing and many of the scenes were visually stunning.
It also does a GREAT job at foreshadowing the darkest moment.
There is a death in this movie. It made me cry but it didn’t 100% take me by surprise.
Why?
Because there were dozens of little hints it would happen (the actress was BRILLIANT at providing these). We’d view her character for mere seconds and we’d know something was wrong.
Maybe everyone else was happy and she had a slightly pained look on her face. Maybe her hands trembled slightly when she touched an object. Maybe she paused ever-so-slightly in the middle of a task. Maybe she wasn’t paying close attention to people and things around her. There were all these little hints that something wasn’t quite right.
Foreshadowing doesn’t have to be huge and highlighted. Often the best bits of foreshadowing are so subtle they might be overlooked. But our brains, being the wondrous machines they are, pick up on these hints.

B Free
B is the last remaining B Model cyborg. All of his brethren, the beings he trained with, fought with, cared deeply for, have perished.
Or so he believes.
When he intercepts a communication mentioning the existence of one of his kind, he has to investigate its source. The message could be a trap set by his enemies. He’ll take that risk if it secures him the companionship he requires to be fully functional.
What he finds is a daring brown-eyed female who activates all his systems. She proudly proclaims she’s a researcher, brandishing that information like a weapon before her. He wants to kiss the sass off her beautiful face, protect her from the dangers around them, claim her forever.
Quinn is on a quest to locate the mechanics of an early-version cyborg. She believes the information captured within that frame will give her valuable insights into the past.
When her mission goes zombie-like beings levels of wrong, she comes face-to-face with a living, breathing B Model. He has big hands, a primitive countenance, and stern hard lips crafted for kissing.
She doesn’t trust him. And she doesn’t have time to indulge her desires.
Their shared enemies are chasing them, would kill to get their precious specimens back. One minor mistake could reduce B and Quinn to a mere line in the databases of history.
