#i’ve had an idea for a spec fic (moreso for 4) but now this is getting me 👀

so i do think they’re going to have a tense conversation after this detective leaves, and obviously carlos kind of leaves in a rush while tk stays home, but i don’t think carlos is going to outwardly blame tk—i think they’re going to blame themselves. tk’s already in his head about how carlos sees him, so in his head, he’s thinking: what if i did upset her by insisting and now she ran off? carlos’ whole thing is caring for people and he hasn’t been there for years for iris, so he’s thinking: what if i pushed too hard? what if she isn’t actually fine because how would i know, i abandoned her? i think they’ll talk long enough for carlos to work out she was taken, and he’ll go off to try and find her because he’s the only one who suspects something bad did happen to her, and he and tk won’t leave on the best terms, but by the end of the episode they will have found iris and the two of them will have reconciled a bit (or at least started to) before carlos goes missing trying to investigate further.
