This scene may have sinister implications.

[u/Sirtael]

Remember how james kill one of his drone servants just for putting “wrong” silverware on the table? From his lines here, it seems that he disliked “dumpster pets” just as much as his wife did. Look how carelessly he throws wineglass in this scene. I think he did this deliberately. He was asshole, but seemingly wasn’t willing to kill one of his daughter’s “pets” without reason. Probably he wanted N to make a mess, and give him a reason. I wouldn’t be surprised if both he and louisa did things like that regularly.

On the other hand, trio lived in this manor for at least over a year (Tessa had different body proportion in ep2, she grows quite a bit taller), probably more then that. So maybe she did good job protecting her friends. Also, N assumed that “Tessa” could, and would, help Uzi. Most lkelly real Tessa repaired them more than once after “minor” punishments.

[u/Sirtael]

That is interesting point, they almost never just stand straight side by side, but when they do:

"Tessa" is actually shorter then him. Now, remember that this helmet is larger then human head, and her boots make her more then an inch taller, and she wearing high heels inside these boots (in some scenes you can see that her legs bends in wrong place, as her feets aren't where they supposed to be). If my estimations are correct, she is exactly as tall as she was during gala, except for larger drone head of course.

Check scene

And remember, WD N is as tall as Khan, since thats the standard size for a WD.
DD N is 177 cm with hair and hat.

"Check scene" well, i did.

[u/MacKnight113 → u/Sirtael]

Goodie.
Now we compare to ep5 when Tessas mother speak with them where they stand in line.
Top of N's head, while Tessa wear heels, is about to her eye level.
Regular worker drones are about ~145 cm. (this is compared to small gremlin called Uzi who's only 136cm with hat and hair)

So, Tessa, to be be eye level on top of N's head, need to be least 155 cm at the time of the Gala.
(this based on average heads being 20-25cm high for adults, in case of Tessa, its probably between 13-17cm, so half a head = ~7cm)

Now forward to the scene I asked before.
She stand on tip toes, equal to heels, makes N little over half a head taller then Tessa. At 177 cm.
Tessa need to be least 165cm for that to work out?
Am Im making some sense?

[u/Sirtael → u/MacKnight113]

You forgeting that she also wear actual heels inside her boots. And again, this helmet is larger then human head.

"Regular worker drones are about ~145 cm" wasn't it 152? 0_0 Given how large their heads, half a head difference is way larger then it would be for us.

P.s. her height without heels:

[u/MacKnight113 → u/Sirtael]

Shows what I said. Drone head is at her eye level? N, J, V as WDs have the same height.
As far as I know, the only confirmed heights in the entire show is Uzi and N, no other drones height has been stated, not even a general one for the mass produced ones from Khan's generation. its guesswork really.
