Dancing and pony tail scene? (spoilers maybe)

Ok someone help me make sense of what was happening there, Louise gets all seductive out of nowhere and does a quasi-striptease for spencer. He likes it, says he likes watching dancing she then attempts to grind him and he wheels away. As we know he'd likely have a reaction as he was not really paralyzed. But as his back is turned we see Louise very deliberately tie off her hair in a pony tail. Why? Was this to imply she was going to perform a certain "act" on Spencer? This of course follows the scene where she got the condom, was she using both of their sperm? Although her saliva would show up as well. This scene kinda didn't fit any of the rest of the movie or her and Spencer's scenes.

Thoughts?

It was not just that scene that did not fit, there were a couple more such as why did he run when he was spotted from the window he could have hugged along the building went back in and called the guy, solidifying an excuse for himself. There were a couple more as well. Did she go back after collecting the sperm and continue making love, and why did he not question her on what she did with his sperm.

I thought the purpose of this scene was to make us wonder if she collected both of their sperm. To make us think that she was on to Spencer being a killer. So when she did her murder, she could frame which ever one she finally decided on. She was okay playing them against each other because she didn't have feelings for either of them. Which ever one best served her purpose, she would use them.

Just before this scene she's in her bath and says to Balthazar "don't look at me like that" as if Balthazar knew what she was about to do. I took this as her feeling guilty for framing such a nice guy, then in this scene it appeared as if she was about to give that guy head to get his sperm so she wouldn't have to use the other guys (wierd I can remember the cats name but not theirs).

I also think she already knew about dude being able to walk. She showed absolutely no reaction when he was running around the building. This would jive with her bending down to give him head (as obviousley she wouldn't be able to do that if he was paralyzed).

Yes, I 100% agree with that! I am sure she used Spencer's and not Victor's...she knew that Vic was an innocent and never went through with it.

No No No. What is wrong with you people? Have you never experienced non linear storytelling? The actual chronology of those events are as follows: she exits the bath WITH HER HAIR DOWN, goes to seduce Spencer, fails, she puts her hair IN A PONYTAIL, goes and has sex with Victor, collects the sperm, and freezes it.

Haha!.. I had to literally lol on the whole defiant, "No, No, No, what are you people thinking?" comment..

Interesting take on how these particular scenes played out in your opinion, but key point being, IN YOUR OPINION, rather than being factual points made..

As always, to each their own, of how they choose to see or interpret certain aspects of a movie... so no need to negatively chastise those of us who happen to interpret those details differently than you do.

As I already said, interesting take on the "actual, factual" chronology of these particular scenes, but I respectfully disagree that there was a "failure" of Louise collecting a semen sample from Spencer, thus leading to her having to immediately defer to Victor in collecting a semen sample for her plotted plan of murder/rape of the cat-hating neighbor, Valerie.

In fact I believe that this plot point of the audience not knowing which man's semen she used is a critical one that the final act(ie.the climax of the entire movie) is solely hinged upon as it unfolds to completion(lol..no pun intended..lol)
