baffling decision for season 2, episode 18 to end with lewis making a legit effort for charlotte, making a picnic of things she likes and hugging her and seeming really happy with her

only for episode 19 to trample all over that with him blowing her off after she mentions that she misses him and hasn't seen him for a while, then apparently forgetting he even has a girlfriend altogether and softly flirting with his ex while the narrative agrees that this is correct because, unlike charlotte, cleo always smiles when she first sees lewis. you know. unlike charlotte. who goes out of her way to try and make lewis happy and smiles literally every time she sees him. there's not even an episode between these!

#@opalsiren bestie this one's for you #like seriously. she even says that she's happy he wants to plan the date because that means he's happy and he verbally says he is #but then the next time we see her she says that she hasn't seen him in a while and he completely blows her off. like. what?#again! i don't even ship them!#i am one hundred percent a clewis shipper and i am very happy they got back together!#my problem is that the narrative has to twist and bend on the back of a character whose only role in this story is to get punched around #and humiliated so that other characters can grow #and lewis isn't even a little conflicted! it's like he knows that charlotte's role in life is just to be a contrived roadblock in his story #to getting back with cleo and therefore can pick and choose when she's an actual person he cares about and when she can just be tossed asid #why even have her in that episode if she didn't add anything but as a reminder that yes don't worry #lewis doesn't care about her when it's inconvenient and in fact here's a shot of her being abandoned and sad bc of it!#seemingly just as another kick in the stomach #you could literally take her out of the episode and lose nothing. bc it's about lewis meeting max and learning about the 50s mermaids as #well as getting closer to cleo. which is fine! they're going to get back together anyway! but why oh why #did we need to humiliate someone whose only crime at this point is being upset that her boyfriend is ignoring and blowing her off??#like. the one who can't stop smiling when she first sees you??? that's charlotte! her whole character is about lewis! and she's his actual #girlfriend at this point and they. last time we saw them together. were doing fine! he MADE HER A PICNIC LIKE SHE DID FOR HIM #gahhhhhh #h2o just add water #charlotte watsford #lewis mccartney #cleo sertori
