#when gretchen said i love you and dylan just didn't know what to say.......it's a perk he doesn't understand how he earned....

chewing glass about innie!dylan this episode. all this time he's spent imagining the life his outie must live - gaining confidence from the idea that his outie lives a life full of adventure and excitement, all the perks he could possibly hope to gain in the palms of his hands, with the ultimate perk being his family, his wife and children - and now he has to sit across from the woman his outie married and listen to her tell him that his outie in fact is not this incredibly successful fantasy of a man that he's clung to all this time. the quiet shock and devastation in his voice when he asks "so he's actually kind of a fuck up?" and the look on his face when his outie's wife doesn't deny it. and then him being blindsided again when he pledges to make her and the kids proud and she tells him sincerely that she is always proud of him. even imperfect, he is loved. what can he even do with that
