The powder puff was placed there to elevate Travis’s image, highlighting the contrast between them, and he performs his role adequately.

Adequate for the actor of Jarrie, for Travis - indispensable for Servi, might be the right word.

Oh, and sadly I will not be able to join the two upcoming rewatches due to work commitment. I will miss you! No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.
