His question conveys a lack of judgement and an openness to meeting people where they are. When he discovers that Caitlin is, like him, still figuring out her identity, it helps him relate to her.

Regardless, it’s clear that these facets of Fraser’s personality would make him something of an outcast. It’s unclear yet whether Fraser suffers from a disorder or merely teenage angst, though the episode suggests it’s the former. But it seems like she’s dealt with Fraser’s sudden outbursts before. Rather than react in kind, or with anger, Sarah is briefly hurt. During an otherwise calm conversation with his mother Sarah (Chloë Sevigny), he slaps her for not doing what he wants and proceeds to hide in the bathroom. In addition to how he’s keenly aware of how he’s dressed at all times, and the fact that he’s equally curious about male and female bodies, a crucial scene shows a deeply troubling aspect of Fraser’s life.

“Right here, right now #1” shares a few crucial details about Fraser. At school, Caitlin seems like the typical popular student with a large group of friends. However, Fraser does seem to take a particular interest in Caitlin (Jordan Kristine Seamon), the girl who lives next door. It doesn’t seem like Fraser is likely to hit it off with the other kids at the base, especially since most of them are quick to mock him. He’s impulsive, adventurous, and a little bit awkward in his own way. This allows Guadagnino to highlight the beautiful scenery of Veneto, where the show was filmed, but it also offers audiences some insight into Fraser as a character. Unhappy with the fact that he has moved from New York to the Italian military base, due to the fact that both his mothers serve in the U.S army, Fraser looks for a place where he can feel comfortable. Much of the first episode, titled “Right here, right now #1”, is atmosphere and uncertainty. Grazer, who is best known for playing fast-talking and loveable sidekicks in It and Shazam!, embodies a distinctly different persona with Fraser.
