I loved the Vegas and Pete scene in the temple because it truly shows how both Vegas and Pete function but also how the power structure between them truly comes into play.
Vegas and Pete both know that the other person is not there innocently and not coming into this conversation innocently. Vegas knows Pete is there to spy on him and Pete knows that Vegas is always up to no good, always wearing a fake heart on his sleeve.
And the entire scene is both of them not talking about that. Not touching on that. But nudging. Little pokes. Almost entirely from Pete but each response from Vegas is the same nudge in return.
They both know that they are not who they seem. They are both wearing masks for the world. They are both not who they are for the sake of the people around them.
And they see it in each other.
But the power structure, Vegas being able to order Pete around, Pete being unable to say no, Pete getting dragged along with them, Vegas showing him his own calmness in the face of the world...
Pete knows this isn't Vegas. And Vegas knows that too.
They both know that the other person knows but both of them are pretending they don't.
They both act like they're wearing their hearts of their sleeves while their true emotions lies behind a mask and their hearts are hidden. Vegas chained his up and Pete's is protected with a smile.

I feel like people these days don't really have a handle on how crazy the Satanic Panic was. A lot of cops wholeheartedly believed they were gonna have to arrest evil wizards.
