The Summer I Turned Pretty - 2x02 "Love Scene"

[samaraevanswriter]

Absolutely wild theory yellowjackets season 3

Travis and Shauna might hook up, causing hallucinated/ghost-Jackie return

They're both in mourning of people they've lost and that grief could connect them.

In season 3, they're back in spring/summer time and we know there's a return to season 1 dynamics:

Shauna was hooking up with Jackie's boyfriend (in an attempt to be closer to her)

Travis was a loner, not really a part of the group

"Hooking up in a blood stained death trap" where Jackie's bones are resting -> Jackie slept with Travis in Shauna's bed, Hauna could sleep with him nearby Jackie's remains to feel closer to her

Misty's obsession with Coach -> her S1 focus on Coach Scott could be paralleled with her S3 devotion for Nat, meaning Nat might spend less time with Travis now she's leading the group too

Teenage hormones -> there was a bunch of subtle moments with things like this in S1 especially compared to S2, and the thing we saw Travis grabbing from the burning cabin was literally a pack of condoms, so its safe to assume he'll probably use them at some point

We haven't seen yet if Travis holds any specific resentment against Shauna. We saw him talking with Van in the S2 finale but not the others. And it seems like he's forgiven Natalie from his actions in the Natalie coronation scene. So we don't really know how he'll feel individually about the girls moving forward. But we've already seen something similar in Travis and Shauna's friendship with forgiveness on Travis side -> Shauna tries to slit his throat in Autumn and then months later when she's about to die in childbirth, he uses the same knife to cut his hand as a sacrifice for her to live. There's so much love in Travis, bless him. (There was a really good post by someone going into depth about their friendship that mentioned the knife, not sure who made it but it was great).

We could return to Travis keeping to himself more after the events of S2 but not completely ostracising himself as he knows how dangerous it would be.

The fact that Nat is now in charge would protect him from the group and allow him some more freedom.

We know he and Natalie contemplate suicide at one point because of the pact they make in the future so Travis is definitely in a vulnerable place and Shauna could take advantage of that.

Shauna might also be an little bit of an outsider in S3 as she doesn't support Nat's lead.

Shauna's mad at and jealous of Natalie as she is the new antler queen instead of Shauna. Similar to how Shauna was jealous of Jackie in S1.

She could make a move on Travis in an attempt to simultaneously feel closer to Jackie and get back at Nat.

She's already done it once during doomcoming, she might do it again.

And if they did have sex, it would be the only way left for Shauna to feel close with Jackie. Potentially bringing back Ella.

And we know adult Shauna sees Jackie's 'ghost' but after the jackie-feast in 2x02, she doesn't see her again even when she reaches out. Maybe this is a way of bringing ghost-Jackie back into Shauna's life. A way to feel connected to her again and speak to her memory.

I would personally love to see Ella back as Ghost/hallucinated-Jackie on Shauna's part and I feel like this has the potential to make it happen.

And the best part about this theory (other than JackieShauna) is it opens up other romantic potential for Natalie too, AKA bring on Lottienat and Mistynat

I'll always find a way to circle back to these pairings lmao

Season 6 Separate Post

[thoughtfulchaos773]

Season 2 & episode titles gives us a glimpse into Syd x Carmy's love story.

A dish is worth a thousand words

This is a theory of mine where season 2 had a focus on a dish name being the title of an episode. Episodes that connect Claire, Carmy, and Syd. But mainly connects Syd and Carmy and shows in an subconscious way, that Syd is always on Carmy's mind.

Pasta 2x2

Sundae 2x03

Bolgenese 2x08

Omelette 2x09

In Pasta 2x02 Syd and Carmy are sharing an intimate moment as Carmy makes pasta and learns more about Syd, such as her father and her past failure with her business. In this scene, I noticed that Carmen is invested in learning more about Syd. Was there significance to the dialogue when he wanted to know more about her father, but she changed the subject back to the menu? In this scene, we also see Carmen catching little glimpses of Syd as he focused between Syd and working the pasta dough, his eyes focused on his true muse.

When Syd makes an error with one ingredient, they learn a new way of communication (a theme of the show) the sign being, a significant gesture that keeps the relationship moving forward and striving for peace and understanding rather than the conflict Carmy is used to.

By the end of Pasta, we see Claire and Carmy bump into each other and Claire in a flirting tone asks Carmy if he's making a sundae- the following episode's name.

In Sundae 2x03 Syd and Carmy part ways--the episode previously shows Carmy meeting Claire and she mentions a Sundae, and we See Syd later on in the episode, eating a Sundae alone.

Another part of the Sundae episode is Syd questioning if she could trust Camy. By the ending Carmy and Syd have a misunderstanding but make up with their new way of communication.

Bolognese 2x08, the meat sauce that intertwines with pasta. Claire intertwining with Syd and Carmy's story. . Later on this episode, we watch Carmy making his girlfriend pasta and Blogonese with a love montage with Sydney in the middle. I see this as Carmy always having Syd on his mind even if he seems distracted as the show progresses, we know that carmy was right in some way, syd had his full focus but not the restaurant. Rather Sydney herself is a part of his life even while he had girlfriend.

Another mention of Bolognese is a reference to Sydney's dish, the ragu bolgenese without the pasta that contributed to the demise of her career.

So Maybe Carmy was subconsciously thinking of Syd when he made the dish for Claire. Celebrating as Syd once again is alone.

Also the lyrics during this montage from Syd to Carmy.

And though I try to forget it

You will make me call your name

As I shout into the blue summer sky

Last but not least, the table scene in 2x09 Omelette. Syd makes an exhausted Natalie a Omelette, in many moments of this show we witness Syd becoming part of the family. We get two moments where Syd and Carmy connect. The under the table scene. Syd tells Carmy about the Omelette like two lovers having pillow talk. Carmy then looks at her and tells her, "You love taking care of people."

Carmy gives Sydney the jacket, showing Syd has been on his mind since 2x02 in a more than friends way (again could be subconscious gestures for now)

The writers are playing in our faces. All roads lead to Syd and Carmy. A partnership. This is not platonic, this story is a significant part of the show.

NICOLE RICHARDSON The Summer I Turned Pretty, 2x02: Love Scene

[phantomoftheorpheum]

PLL: OS (Summer School) 2x03 thoughts

*Spoilers for 2x01-2x03 of Summer School

Okay y'all, so many thoughts. I'm still feeling pretty solid about my predictions from 2x01 & 2x02, but let me go through those and how 2x03 has shifted or solidified my POV.

Christian will be an early suspect because he made the "Bloody Rose" mask, but ultimately is likely innocent. - So I am at least partially correct with this one. He definitely did make a Bloody Rose mask. Whether or not he made the Bloody Rose mask remains to be seen. If he is entirely innocent (as in, he was either commissioned to make the mask, or someone asked to buy it from him after he posted it on social media or something), it seems weird he did not mention this to Tabby when they spoke about it. I also initially thought it was weird that Tabby (and Imogen) were not more freaked out by finding the Bloody Rose & A mask at Christian's, but I need to keep in mind that until the end of this episode, they didn't really believe any of the Bloody Rose stuff was legit. However, I am still sticking with my gut about all this and going with my original theory, which is that Christian will now come under serious suspicion from the girls, since they know Bloody Rose is a real threat at this point.

I'm definitely still sticking with my feeling that Henry/Faran is not a relationship that is long for this world, and Faran is going to be spending quite a bit of screen time with Greg. I still like my theory that Greg & Faran might team up to figure out what's going on with Kelly.

Speaking of, I am still very much on board with my instinct that the Our Mother of Holy Grace church is very much involved with the Bloody Rose scheme. First of all, while I have never been to a Redemption House, and I am not deeply familiar with them, Mouse's "test" felt like it could easily be a scene from one, a "trial by fire" so to speak. Also the imagery of her escaping a burning building feels very "burn in Hell" associated. Another interesting thing about this is that if the church is involved, that means that there could easily be multiple people dressing up as Rose, meaning no one really has an alibi. This is further confused by Imogen's dreams/visions, and Mouse's grandmother's mental state. What is real? What isn't?

No particular "secluded cabin in the woods" evidence either way, so I'm sticking to this one as well.

Okay, now for the new 2x03 thoughts/theories. While this episode had a lot of scenes that didn't directly move the plot forward, they definitely want us feeling suspicious of lots of people right now. We spend a lot of time with the new love interests, so we'll see where that goes.

Jen's financial situation interests me. Noa insists that Jen is "good people" and then we almost immediately have a scene where Jen steals money from work and isn't even very apologetic about it when Noa catches her. It could be easy to wave this off with a "but they met in juvie, so this doesn't seem OOC," but this clearly does take Noa by surprise. So that makes me wonder if Jen's need for cash is going to make a more main plot relevant return. Is Jen desperately in need of money and someone is paying her to get back in good with Noa and feed them info? Am I reaching?

I still really don't know how I feel about Johnny. He had quite a bit of screen time this episode, and he is very charming, but why does he matter? We don't have very many extraneous characters in the show, and while he could just be a love interest (like the role Ash played last season), it certainly wouldn't be a shock if he's got secrets. For some reason, I also wouldn't be super surprised if he got murdered? I don't know why I get that vibe. I think it might be because I still feel that Bloody Rose is punishing "sinners" and Johnny being so upfront about wanting to casually date multiple girls would almost certainly fit that pattern of judgement and warrant "punishment." But also... can't Imogen catch a break?

This is a small thing, but at Mouse's party, Greg clocks Noa & Jen's relationship. While he does so in an obnoxious way, it makes me want to go back and watch his scenes from 2x01 and 2x02 again, just to see if he's made any other obnoxious comments that might actually be insightful. Greg being so annoying could be a really interesting way to deliver serious/important information, without the audience taking it seriously. I'm definitely going to be paying attention to what he says in the future.

Notably absent from the skate party - all the adults, Shawn, Henry, and Ash. While I'm not convinced anyone has a solid alibi (as this whole plot seems too elaborate for one person to pull off), these are characters that we have no visual alibi for while Mouse is being chased by Rose. Though Ash does show up at Mouse's to pick her up shortly after, so he is at least partially covered. He is also perfectly primed to manipulate Mouse's grandmother, though. So maybe those things cancel each other out.

I struggle to believe that Ash is going to turn out to be evil enough to do something like this to Mouse (I mean, obviously I could be wrong. "It's always the boyfriend," is a huge trope for a reason), I don't want to completely rule him out just because I like him, and he's also been kind of "too perfect" in a lot of respects, which puts me a little on guard with him. But I like him and I don't have a solid reason to suspect him at the moment, so I'm going to keep trusting him for now.

My suspicions of Henry & Shawn have both gone up a little bit, particularly Shawn. They seem like the SOs that are "on the outs," so to speak. Either has potential motive (extreme reactions, but potential motive) to seek revenge on their girlfriends- Henry could have already known Faran was lying to him about being cleared to dance (though like holy hell what an overreaction if that has to do with anything), and Shawn could have already known about Noa & Jen's relationship in juvie. Shawn has been "too perfect" in a lot of ways as well, and I also don't really understand how the show will manage to validate Noa & Jen's relationship if Shawn is just 100% an innocent victim in all this. It makes me feel like he may pull a Billy Loomis and we'll discover that he's been plotting revenge on Noa for a long time. If he really has done nothing wrong, then I feel really bad for him.

Kelly seems evidently conflicted in this episode. This definitely tracks with my suspicions of her mother & church, but I do wonder if they're making it too obvious. Kelly was my first thought when Mouse's grandmother told her one of her friends gave her the info on where to take her, and she could feel quite bad about it. She is clearly seeking validation in a lot of ways, and she did seem genuinely touched that Imogen (and the other girls) want to include her in things, so it wouldn't be surprising if she's conflicted. But maybe she's just that good of an actor. I also haven't forgotten that Kelly was very diabolical in the episode that Karen died.

No sign of Wes this episode. Idk that that matters, just making note of it. He could definitely be on the chopping block if Rose is taking out "sinners."

We have now confirmed that all the new love interests are aware of the events of season 1 (to different degrees, but aware). Christian and Johnny were both pretty upfront about their awareness, but I'm not so sure about Jen (who claimed not to know much about it in an earlier episode). I have also noted that both Jen and Christian were possibly seeking out Noa and Tabby (Jen being in summer school, Christian getting a job at the movie theater), while Johnny doesn't appear to have intentionally placed himself in Imogen's path, as she came and applied to the creamery, not the other way around.

I'm pretty sure I have more thoughts about this episode, but there's so much bouncing around in my brain (I just love puzzles), so I'm gonna sleep on it and see where that takes me.

Oh, not a theory, but I just wanted to say again that I really love that this group of girls really feel like friends. They're really supportive of each other and involved in each other's lives and I love that. Anyway!

Jess Watches // Mon 21 Oct // Day 388 & Tues 22 Oct // Day 389 Synopses & Favourite Scenes & Poll

Call the Midwife (with mum) 9x05

The plight of a harried matriarch profoundly affects Sister Julienne and Sister Frances, while Sister Hilda helps a nervous expectant father.

Fun fact: I once saw Karl Davies (the supportive new dad) going up the escalator to Top Man in my local shopping mall. It was around the time he was in Emmerdale.

Derry Girls (rw with mum) 3x05 The Reunion

Ma Mary and Aunt Sarah are in preparation for the highly anticipated reunion class of 1977.

Still so impressed by the young mammies casting. It was beyond delightful that they got their own episode. And what a cracker it was!

Summer Strike (with mum) Ep 9 There Is an End to Everything

Yeo-reum learns a startling secret after dealing with an intruder. Dae-beom tries to put a controversy to rest. Bom's friend comes to town.

A nice chill romcom ending with a crime thriller murder plot???

Shrinking 2x02 I Love Pain

Paul and Jimmy disagree about Sean's treatment plan. Gaby's sister asks for her help. Liz has an idea for boosting business at the food truck.

Speaking of messy bitches... Does Gaby feel guilty because she was fucking Tia too? Me, rewinding, trying to see a hint of red undewear. 👀 Our doctors do indeed fuck ✅

[augustheart]

fuck it stargirl episode ranking. yes! all thirty-nine of them!

3x03 "the blackmail": i don't have a cool justification i'm sorry i just love the crocks and i think the fight scene is fantastic. i don't even care that we can see the stuntpeople's faces it's absolutely delightful to me.

1x08 "shiv part two": ultimate comfort episode for me. what if two autistic people had to go undercover? what if a woman tried to fuck a man under a sink? just a few of the many questions asked by this episode

2x04 "summer school chapter four": crusher and paula should be allowed to do whatever they want. also the scene where dickie gets in an argument with a child in a bookstore is pretty good

1x11 "shining knight": this is the best episode of the show. like full stop. this is the best one. it isn't the highest rated on imdb. it isn't my favorite. but it is 100% the best episode of the series.

3x12 "the last will and testament of sylvester pemberton": i have probably Never gone crazier at an episode of television in my life. getting to the ending is excruciating because the first chunk is a "pat experiences ableism" simulator but oh baby. when the musical sting hits it hits

1x02 "s.t.r.i.p.e.": this episode is nearly perfect. why is there a two minute long one-take sequence in the middle of it? don't ask questions

1x01 "stargirl"/"pilot": this is one of the best cape show pilots of all time. i think doom patrol's is better but it's easily on the flash pilot level, probably higher. tells you everything you need to know: courtney rules. pat has autism. if you celebrate christmas you WILL die of supervillains attacking you. what more can you ask for

2x03 "summer school chapter three": mike should be allowed to do whatever he wants whenever. you can tell how much fun everyone had shooting this so even if luke wilson is Not looking at his mark in the slightest it's still good.

1x10 "brainwave jr": i get why this is the highest ranked episode on imdb but it is funny that it set the tone for james robinson writing episodes where he kills people in a tunnel. the scene at the beginning with barb where she's struggling not to break down is an under-appreciated bit that is so fucking good.

1x03 "icicle": the tonal shift is great. i wish hootie had come back.

1x05 "hourman and doctor mid-nite": ending scene alone puts this here. thank you cameron gellman

1x06 "the justice society": i really like it when crusher throws paula as a weapon at a group of children

2x06 "summer school chapter six": the fight choreography is off the charts. i wish that isaac's actor knew how to act and eclipso didn't run away like that.

2x08 "summer school chapter eight": oh my g-d. oh my g-d. jesus christ. oh my fucking g-d

2x02 "summer school chapter two": dickie's entrance to the show means that despite how unmoved i am by much of this episode i will forever adore it. he is so deeply weird from second one.

3x02 "the suspects": i could watch dickie make fun of anybody for hours at a time

3x07 "infinity inc part one": i could watch dickie make fun of anybody for hours at a time

3x08 "infinity inc part two": i could watch dickie make fun of anybody for hours at a time. also CARCHARO MENTIONED

2x11 "summer school chapter eleven": courtney clapping at cindy and going "AND HOW DID THAT GO FOR YOU?" about controlling eclipso after they both get stuck in the monster dimension is one of the funniest scenes in the show

3x13 "the reckoning": way better finale than other cape shows, which is fortunate for me and unfortunate for those other shows. just a really nice sendoff. i like that they bring it full circle by having kids murder someone in this one, too.

1x07 "shiv part one": the fight choreography in the courtney/cindy fight is so good. i think it's overlooked because it's a 1v1 fight but that spinning long take is really fantastic imo and i love the setting of the school gym outfitted for the dance.

1x04 "wildcat": yolanda baby :(

2x09 "summer school chapter nine": yet another episode that's a "pat experiences ableism" simulator and it is upsetting to watch but also john wesley shipp is there and it's quite well done all around. points detracted because whatever his name is that plays cameron can't act to save his life and his scene partner (an actual teenager) is absolutely killing it

3x01 "the murder": extremely good episode i love my friends i genuinely smile so big thinking about it

1x12 "stars and s.t.r.i.p.e. part one": i want to fuck crusher so bad for that garage scene and that's why it ranks higher than the s1 finale

1x13 "stars and s.t.r.i.p.e. part two": what if there was a liberalification beam.

3x11 "the haunting": obviously the setup of this episode makes me want to punch walls but artemis' screaming and breakdown at the end puts this a cut above other episodes

2x07 "summer school chapter seven": YOLANDA BABY :(

2x01 "summer school chapter one": i can't stop thinking about that person on reddit who accidentally watched this episode first and was like "why is the show so bad at exposition" not realizing it's because they didn't see season one

1x09 "brainwave": good episode ranked this low because of the evil dinner scene being one of the worst things put to film

2x10 "summer school chapter ten": dickie is really good in this but i'm not a huge fan of this conflict for pat and courtney. however i do enjoy pat getting heated for once

2x12 "summer school chapter twelve": pat torturing matt rules and i like when beth and charles metaphorically type on the same keyboard to hack something faster

3x10 "the killer": fine episode. ranked this low because the last four minutes of it never aired and definitely don't make me listen to classic decemberists song "we both go down together" on repeat

2x13 "summer school chapter thirteen": jakeem rules mike rules rick calling in a buddy to fight for him rules but i don't care about eclipso

3x04 "the evidence": we're getting into episodes i don't really care for. i do like charles though

3x09 "the monsters": i don't care about dctv cameron

3x06 "the betrayal": i don't care about dctv cameron. however pat enjoying lutefisk is good

3x05 "the thief": i don't care about dctv cameron

2x05 "summer school chapter five": It's Just Not A Very Good Episode Guys i don't know what more you want from me

if you read through all of this thanks. several of these are actually tied with each other to be honest so if parts of this seem interchangeable, that's why.

parallels in the oc

okay so the one i mentioned in my most recent post was the one with benches after events (cotillion/junior prom/senior prom) when marissa is standing in front of them or sitting on them and then ryan comes and comforts her

another ryissa parallel is him giving her his jacket (1x04 and 2x18)

"we're from different worlds" - in 1x02 ryan tells marissa this when she wants him to stay. in 1x03 when he's back and wants to talk to her she repeats these words to him.

the ferris wheel - in 1x09 ryan and marissa share their first kiss on the ferris wheel at the kickoff carnival. in 2x02 they're both at the kickoff carnival but they have an argument. in 3x02 they're on the ferris wheel again and almost share a kiss but are interrupted by dean hess

ryan not being able to say 'i love you' - in 1x14 ryan can't get himself to tell marissa he loves her and the same thing happens in 4x14 with taylor

the hand signals - in 1x08 when marissa is in the hospital, summer and seth communicate through hand signals. in 1x24 when they're decorating her room they do this again

the coffee cart - in 1x19 seth declares his love for summer on a coffee cart in front of the entire school (well, at least all the pupils that are there in that moment) and in 3x21 she stands on the coffe cart to get him to declare his love for her

summer/seth/anna and seth/summer/zach - summer and seth find themselves involved in love triangles with each other twice. the first time summer and anna want do date seth and the second time seth and zach want to date summer. both times the two who want to date the other person tell them to choose. summer handled it quite maturely though imo. she was just like yeah idk choose yourself. while seth just kept making the situation worse for himself

[floripire]

a quick and dirty event guide featuring important episodes and plot points: season 2.

note: the events of the show happen as they do, albeit tweaked and a little darker and more mature; the salvatore boarding school looks like a regular boarding school but behind closed doors, vampires are feeding off other students despite technically not being allowed to do so; witches use their abilities outside of the classrooms and are practicing forbidden magic, etc.

in 2x01, there is an extended flashback moment detailing the relationship between jed and flori during and after the summer holidays. there are also flashback moments between loren and mia and flori.

in 2x02, emma assigns flori homework: she's to write down what she wants and then chase after it with all her might. the thing is, though, she wants this malivore business to be over and she wants her friends to be happy and she wants jed, except alyssa's been hanging off his arms. so to distract her from that, she throws herself into her research and comes up with a working theory: malivore is part of the dark dimension and it is so much bigger than people initially suspected. unfortunately, there is no way to test that theory so flori keeps it to herself.

in 2x03, flori is present for the annual football game against mystic falls high even though she doesn't really care about sports in general. she tapes it and watches out for humans doing the same, like they did last year.

in 2x04, flori joins raf and landon when they go to mystic falls high. raf and landon go for hope. flori goes for maya and ethan machado as she's still digging into the whole machado family. flori also tries to help out with the oni problem however she can.

in 2x05, flori attends the 80's themed decade dance.

in 2x06, flori's entire backstory is revealed due to the croatoan.

in 2x07, flori catches wind of josie’s risky plan to close the malivore portal and decides to help out, sharing all her research up until this point.

in 2x08, flori is absent but is mentioned by name.

in 2x09, alyssa drops a plate and slices herself. sebastian has to calm mg down and jed has to be the one to calm flori down elsewhere.

in 2x10, it's coven day. normally flori has nothing to do with this but for the sake of loren and wade, she's willing to sit in on it. afterwards, she has a conversation with wade and they dig into flori's family history, diving deep into the harman's.

they find out there is so much more to the world of the preternatural than they knew; there is so much that has been kept from them. flori confronts alaric about the night people and he reveals that he's been in the know for years, just like dorian and emma.

a qareen sows discord throughout the day, however, and flori is among those affected.

in 2x11, love is in the air and flori gets hit with an arrow too. she goes to confess to jed but when she finds him and ms tig, she runs. ms tig rejects jed and he chases after her. they have a conversation.

in 2x12, flori dives into the books, trying to find a way to get the saltzmans out of the prison world.

in 2x13, it becomes clear that nothing in the books will help, but that doesn't mean flori is gonna stop looking.

in 2x14, emma suggests group therapy in the form of the therapy box in order to deal with their recent trauma; noir flori is seen at the salvatore hotel, in charge of communications. she’s also seen at mg’s workplace, working up the nerve to go inside and ask if he or his colleagues can help her find her estranged family after he clears his case. before flori can enter the police station and set everything in motion, she gets killed by the murderer and gets ejected from the simulation.

in 2x15, flori is there when josie - who has now gone dark - siphons from mg. luckily, he gets saved by kaleb. alyssa is not so lucky and flori wonders if there is anything she and the others can do to stop josie. she believes it when she's told that lizzie has died as she is not yet filled in on the plan.

in 2x16, flori faints due to the fact that the room is awash in so much magic. when she wakes up again, mg fills her in. she promises rafael that she'll look into ways to wake hope and landon up again. meanwhile, flori attends lizzie's "funeral".

Is it bad that I can't stand Rachel Bilson and honestly it makes me hate Summer and I skip her scenes now in any rewatch. She is just so far up Josh's toxic ass that it bothers me so much! #justiceforMarrissanadMischa

Nah I'm not a fan of RB either. She showed her true colors when it came to dismissing Mischa's allegation of an abusive set just because she got to make out with Ben and attend concerts.

Summer on the other hand I still very much love. I think she's written poorly and anti-woman sometimes but I like her s1-3 arc and her love of Coop is so beautifully evident. They really feel like teenage girls who sit around and talk about nothing. And my favorite SS/Summer scene is the "it seems like you only want me when you can't have me" scene in 2x02. Just so good. Articulated really well and calling Seth out when he needed it.

I can understand why it'd be hard to separate the two, though.

[thoughtfulchaos773]

My mind is full of season 3 possibilities- I know there may be a big fight, which is for another post. There's gonna be anxiety for sure, and I think we deserve some reprieve with a bottle episode for Sydney and Carmy where they're just basking in each other's presence. Like the table scene and in 2x02 when Carmy makes pasta.

There's enough room for a fight and Carmy and Sydney making up. What I would love more than another chance at a food tour is Carmy and Sydney cooking an elaborate meal together. Just Carmy and Sydney talking and cooking, and we get these character arcs through their dialogue and choreography.

This is like 5 hours worth of TV next summer, so we deserve this.
