Boy was that an intense start to my morning. Season 6 continues to deliver!

My initial thoughts on the episode:

1. I’ve always felt the theories about Blair being evil were way off base, so I definitely didn’t see that coming. Clearly I was wrong. And I’m worried for Aaron. She’s clearly preying on his need for support after his trauma.

2. I’m glad the theories I saw (including mine) about Tim were correct… that it had to do with his military background and that he left to protect Lucy. Anything else would have seemed out of character.

3. Lucy was right to react the way she did. She and Tim are getting better at opening up and communicating, but they have a ways to go, and that’s only going to improve if they hold each other accountable.

4. That being said, I do understand why Tim is keeping her in the dark. We know he has a tendency to shoulder the burden and take the blame whenever possible (hell, he offered to take the fall this episode). So it’s completely in character for him to go off on his own like this and not ask for help. It’s what he’s always done. And it’s probably a product of his upbringing and his background.

When you come from abuse, you learn to hide things and keep secrets to avoid more abuse. And you learn not to ask for help because it will make you look weak or incompetent or whatever else, which will probably lead to more abuse. And also, when you’ve never been loved unconditionally before, you don’t understand that you can ask for help and make mistakes and admit your past sins to the person and they will still love you. It’s something both Lucy and Tim are still struggling to grasp, but I think Tim more so than Lucy. So not only is he protecting Lucy, but I think he’s trying to protect himself from losing her.

Despite their comments early on about promising to always be honest with each other, they’ve never fully managed that. It started as small, relatively innocent white lies but it’s gradually escalated. Truthfully, a situation like this has been a long time coming. Personally, I think Tim will eventually let Lucy in. I have a feeling the upcoming vulnerable moment is going to be related to that. And I hope that will be what breaks down the final walls and allows them both to realize how deeply and unconditionally they are loved by each other.
