Hello, and welcome to Big Gay Energy.
I'm Bree, I'm Theora. And I'm Caitlin.
Come along with us while we dive into the fun and nuances of
queer media. Representation matters.
And we're here to talk about it. If you need to stop it, I'll
just let me know, OK? That's fine.
Cheers, queers. What's on the big a agenda
tonight? Theora Yeah.
Tonight we are going to continue our heart Stopper Season 2
discussion by shooting on over to episode 3 called Promise.
I promise this is a great episode.
Because aren't they all I was going to?
I was trying to figure out what they say.
I promise with I love you. Well, how could it be bad?
Because, you know, in the last episode.
Isaac or not? Isaac Tao asked Isaac and
Charlie to help him with L and it starts off with said help.
And this is one of the cutest scenes in the show where they're
like in The Art Room and they're sitting in front of an easel and
I think it says like L date ideas and they're just trying to
help him figure out like like. What to propose as a date to L
But I love that they're in The Art Room and it's an easel on a
canvas. Like it's so perfect.
They're like 5th anniversary gift to L Is that easel?
Yes. Or not the easel?
The canvas, right? Oh my God, that would be so
cute. I hope they saved this.
I feel like Towel's pretty sentimental, so it's probably
like in the back of his closet. Right.
Oh, I'm sorry, I misspoke. It says Ultimate L Date, which
is so fucking cute. OK?
And so they're trying to spit ball ideas.
And so naturally, Isaac suggests this book swap date and like,
the way his face lights up when he's talking about it is the
cutest thing. So cute.
But of course Charlie's like, that's your ideal date.
I think Tao says That is this thing, the towel?
Like, I think that's your. Ideal first right?
This is ultimate L date help Tao with but I just I love seeing
that and then we we do get he gets kind of a book date later
but. He does, but I mean, books are
art. L might be into it.
It's not too far off, but it is super.
That is, Isaac's Perfect Date is a book.
Book swap date. Somebody suggests a book to him
which I love and they should have done painting with A twist
or something. Yeah, honestly, there's so see
you just needed. Us there.
I know. Can we be your friends to help
you? Yeah, painting was supposed to
be good because we've seen Tao's drawing skills.
He needs paint with A twist so that equals the playing field
between the two of them and would have been better than what
they actually did. But we're jumping ahead so.
They were. The idea was there, just the
execution was bad. So I do, so Charlie and Nick do.
Charlie and Nick are just basic bitches, because that's.
What Towels Energy was like after he hears what they do,
he's like, you guys hang out, play bar cart and go to the
beach. Boring.
I mean, Mario Kart's not boring. No, it's not.
But for Tao, in this moment, he's like first date ever with L
It needs to be epic. It needs to be the ultimate
date. And so his thoughts are just
like in the clouds. He's like amusement park,
recreating 500 days of summer like he's just thinking big go
on a hot air balloon. Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't
suggest that because like that's the level of just like idea he's
at. So like beach.
He's like, no, no, no, knock that up like 500 points like
what are you doing, Charlie? Not helpful.
But it's sad though, because if Tao would just sit and think
about like him and L kind of like you did when you're like.
Paying with A twist like that combines both of your interest.
Tao is really just thinking about L and how to impress her,
and in a sense, he's kind of erasing himself from the
equation and just making it all about L, which is the problem
with the first date. But it's better than just
thinking about himself. That would be a Ben Misery date,
yes. You know, like he would invite
you to a movie that ever you hated and he'd be like,
whatever. We're watching this.
Yeah. He'd invite you to a closet.
Yeah. A dark alley it.
Would not be good is what we're saying.
It would be terrible. You'd be reenacting a horror
movie, but then. But yeah, so it's already off
the bat. Like Tao is just conforming.
And not being himself. And so it's just, I go bad for
Tao. He's just really scared of
losing L and it's just clouding his judgment.
I kind of wanna see them all go on IKEA date.
I mean, I wanna see the entire cast.
In an IKEA? I think that would be fun.
Like, screw Paris. Like let Art Stopper go to go to
IKEA. That would be hilarious.
You could see all their personalities there like it
would. He's so funny.
Yeah, OK. What do you see when you
envision this? Uh, she just don't see playing
with everything. Everything.
There's, there's a kids section there.
So I feel like Darcy would like, go there and just be like
playing with everything. Isaac would probably just be
looking at, like, the designs of things and just like, really
contemplating. Charlie would be staring at Nick
the whole time. Yeah, and Nick would just be
like a puppy dog, just like going around to everyone, seeing
how everyone's doing. Let's see, what would Tal be
doing? Tal would be misusing things.
Yep. I'm trying to jump, try to jump,
scare L somewhere in the kitchen area or something.
Or like, do that. There's.
I know in mine at least, there's like this whole bin of stuffed
animals. Maybe he's just hiding in there.
Yeah. And he, like, pops up.
Yep. And then someone.
Definitely throws meatballs and someone else is catching them in
their mouth. That's that sounds like Tara
Darcy, My gosh. And then someone's trying to get
into the kid area, but they're not allowed because they're not
children. Like the play area that parents
leave their kids at, which is separate from the kids section
of the. Toy area like the toy toys for
sale versus. Yes, if you're tots here while
you go shopping, as long as they're potty trained.
I want to say this If this fan fiction exists, send it to us.
That's really does it. Somebody write it.
Oh. My God.
So unfortunately you have to leave fictional IKEA and go to
back to truom to follow Nick and Charlie because in the last
episode Charlie or the 1st. The pilot back, whatever.
Two episodes ago Charlie rejoined the rugby team, so
that's been happening. But now at this point it's the
end of rugby season. It's already over.
But before it ends, Nick does manage to find some time to gay
stare at Charlie on the field and there's some leaves
happening so I'm glad that happened.
But the key of the scene is that Nick, at this point still hasn't
made peace with the rugby lads. Like he wanted to because
excluding Harry, they've they're good guys and they're his
friends and so they on their own, like the non-toxic guys try
to reconnect with Nick independently at the end of this
practice. And here they apologize for what
happened at the movies where Harry was, you know, Harry going
off on Hurley about being gay. And they apologize.
And they then they basically say like they're sorry that they
didn't do anything. Which is a really good lesson.
Like, I'm glad they have this scene in here because, you know,
you don't always know how you're going to act in moments like
that, even if you understand what's happening is wrong.
Like Harry's their friend, they had seen, they they mentioned
they, you know, they've noticed that behavior in him, but they
never really made anything of it.
But when the thing went down with Charlie, it was really
apparent that, like, Harry was in the wrong and like, he has
this toxic behavior. And so these guys have
recognized that and they're like, we want to do better going
forward. We can't change the past, but
we. We recognize we were in the
wrong. We want to do better.
And so I love that lesson of like that they're trying to stay
with these guys here. I think that's really important.
I am also like kind of proud of them because this is, I don't
believe this is the first time that they like try to talk to
him again or but like they try multiple times throughout the
show, Yeah, definitely. And they keep trying to get him
back because they do. They like Nick and want him as a
friend. Yeah.
And they're like trying to prove that they have changed.
Exactly. They're learning to be good
allies, okay. So also the kid in the front
definitely knows that Nick and Charlie are dating because when
the tall one says we know you are really good mates and you
get that whole montage. But my God, the other kid just
looks at him like, Are you kidding me?
Yeah, ohh, yeah. No, this is straight up from the
book too. It's like the good mates montage
is one of the fucking funniest things ever.
The heroes out there have already gifted because it's so
fucking funny, but it's like good mates and it's like them
making out and stuff because OK, this is such a a relatable
thing. Like when you're.
Dating in the closet and you can't get and like it's just
annoying because it's like oh you guys are such good friends
or whatever and you like can't be like, no you just have to
take it And it's just it's the worst And I feel like Nick was
feeling all those things when the good mates thing came up but
OK so then they OK so the. At the end of this too, they
invite Nick and his good mate Charlie to the ends of exams
party that one of them is hosting in the woods by his
house. And if you say that out of
context, it sounds really weird. Yeah, like, they're just like,
this could be a horror movie. It could be, but the goal is to
just like burn all of your GCSE stuff and just like Cleanse from
that big exam, they've really needed the fire department
there. Oh my God, that was a big fire.
We. Will get to that when we get to
that episode. But good Lord, that fire wasn't
necessarily humongous. I think that's in this episode,
isn't this episode. Yeah, we'll see.
No, it is this episode. It's later in this episode.
Sorry, but the fire. Yeah, it's necessary.
So after that, Nick and Charlie, this part's, this part's there.
They can Charlie meet up in the storage room like they're
putting away all the rugby stuff cuz end of practice.
We gotta put everything away and they're alone initially.
And Nick expresses his frustration with people thinking
they're best pros. And he promises that, like,
look, I'm going to come out to the lads, like, I'll do it at
the party because they'll all be there.
What a great time to do it Because he's pretty certain
they're going to find out sooner or later.
And probably because they keep making out in public at school,
because, like, which is exactly what they do right here in this
scene, they need to stop. They need to stop.
So what? Happens when they make out in
this scene. Well, the rugby lads don't find
out about them, but the coach does.
Luckily it's okay. It's totally fine because she's
an out and proud lesbian with a whole asswife.
So she's like listen, I understand description with a
whole asswife, but also look at the photo when they show it
because it's so cute. It's so cute.
They met playing sports together, so she's probably like
history repeating itself with these boys.
It makes my little gay heart so happy.
And this scene is really cute too.
I love it because, you know, in the last episode it was very
much about family. And for Nick, he has his mom.
He's been really, really supportive.
But here's another like. Role model kind of figure like
your coach, like somebody you you look up to, somebody who
like is watching out for you, is trying to make you better and to
have your coach in this situation support you like.
She's amazingly supportive and tells Nick like if any of the
other lads are like bullying you, making fun of you like you
come, you come straight to me like I'll sort that shit out.
So that is so huge, especially with like boys.
Or like men's sports, like being queer in that environment must
be extremely difficult. So to have the coach on your
side automatically is really huge.
And that's what she talks about when she's like, I had a rough
time and I was in the girls rugby team where there's.
A lot of lesbians, yeah, go watch the World Cup.
They're everywhere and so and that was hard.
So I can't even imagine for Nick what you and Charlie may may go
through, but. Yeah, so I love that she's
automatically really supportive. Oh dear.
Last thing about the scene that I think we can both agree on is
okay, the setup of this room. So coach has got a desk, kind of
like in the middle. Nick's on the opposite side of
the desk. There's like a window, the door,
and then there's all these basketballs and they're all
sitting on their own individual like resting place.
It looks like they put the egg on to like dye the eggs what it?
Looks like in this little like piece of metal with like a hole
in it and it just sits and it's every single basketball has
their own individual one like to me that.
Seems really weird unless you're never going to use those
basketballs because it's also really high.
They're really high up and it's there's not an efficient way to
put those basketballs back. Like if you had like like.
So the way they were cleaning up the rugby stuff and putting it
away, like there's no efficient way to.
Just like you have to individually put them back, Like
who thought that? Maybe.
OK, so all right, I have a theory now.
So each basketball each year, is she the basketball.
Coach too. I don't know.
Like now I'm trying to figure this out.
Or does she just coach? For all the certificates, is she
like the P/E? She might be the P like she
might run physical education and also be the rugby coach like
after school. But I'm just going to say that
she is the basketball coach too. Sure.
OK cuz this is from my theory. Got it.
I think each year she picks one of like the most promising
student and has them sign a basketball and then those are
the display. They're trophies, yeah.
Yeah, OK. I like that.
That makes way more. It makes way more sense for
those to be display basketballs, not play basketballs.
But also it's a very weird and cuz like when you get her
closeups, it's really weird because the basketballs aren't
directly behind her and they're like slightly above.
This is a very small, I mean they make.
A lot of it, but it's just kind of weird.
Yeah, I just, I I just can't get over it because like
aesthetically I can understand why you would do that because
it's obviously it's a cool shot and you're like, yes, she is in
charge of sports, but practically it's really weird.
One says sports. Basketball, Actually it.
Would have made more sense. Nope.
Let's not go there.
Okay. We're moving on.
Let's go to study hall. So.
So, OK, so then we can just like, study hall.
Period. Nobody's in the gym, but
everybody's in Truro is in different places in the library
doing different things. Tao is doing my favorite thing,
which is Googling how to ask your friend out without being
weird. It's such a.
Tao Google search if I ever heard one.
But when he's Googling you see that another question is how to
ask out a friend over text. The answer is you don't, Yeah.
I'm glad he didn't click that one.
I'd have been ashamed of you, Tao.
You do not do that, especially. When you know that.
Your ultimate date cannot start with texting.
You said date like just how that works.
I mean Charlie and Nick would do that and then just text the
whole date. Oh my God, That's what they like
to do when they're next to each other, Yeah.
See. It's too basic for Tao.
But Speaking of Nick, he, him, and Charlie are in their own
section of the library. Nick is moaning on about like
studying for his last exam. So we're two exams out for Nick,
one to go, and it's chemistry. And Charlie decides to help him
prep for this chemistry test rather than write his history
paper. That's due in a few hours, like
the history paper he's been ignoring since Parents Day,
which is how long. Since parents day like that that
exam, that paper has been due. Since then, I don't know how
much time has actually elapsed because in my head it's months.
Yeah, I know. I don't think it's been months,
but I'm not sure. Regardless though, the most
ridiculous part of this entire episode is the fact that Charlie
writes that paper in five like the next like hour, and then it
turns it in like, if that's all it took to finish this this
paper, why didn't you do this weeks ago?
And then the band with Nick would have been gone.
See, in my in my head it took him all day.
And then I was trying to figure out how the hell he has time
during that whole school day to write an essay because I was
like, are they just like, not in classes today?
It might just be like a study. That they have, I do not know.
We have established very firmly that we don't understand the UK
school exist. We don't.
We're trying so hard but we don't understand it.
You guys, we're sorry. We don't.
So yeah, Charlie is conveniently not in classes this day and has
time to write the paper and turn it in 5 minutes before it's due.
And then the bad part about this too is when he's making this
deal with Nick, he's like I'll help you study for chemistry,
IANA compounds, all this stuff Nick's like what about your
history paper? And Charlie straight up lies to
Nick and says I already did it. Yeah, that was.
That was wrong to me. That was the worst part of this.
Like. He could have been like, oh, I
can write that really quickly. Like I have time to help you.
Like do that instead of oh, it's already done.
Yeah, but I think that Charlie's knee jerk reflex and why he did
it was that like, he's like if I said all those things to Nick,
Nick would then stress out about me finishing my paper and not
focus on this exam. He's just trying to do
everything in his power to make sure that Nick has no extra
stress coming from him. That he, like, straight up lied
to him here. It's kind of fucked up.
It is, yeah. I just also don't understand why
he waited so long to. Get his stuff done.
That's what I if you had, if you could complete the exam in like
the paper in like a school half of the school day because you
were helping Nick most of that time, you could have done this
weeks. Ago and there'd be no more Nick
Ban. I don't get it.
Yeah. I mean, I really don't.
I don't. Get it?
I I I assume the explanation is he's in such a dark place
mentally. He didn't have the mental space
to write the paper, but he managed.
To do it 5 minutes before it was due conveniently in this
episode. So I mean I get I get
procrastination and stuff because I do that as well.
But I feel like this is just he had other things like where he
wasn't allowed to see Nick. So I feel like that would have
been motivation enough to finish the freaking paper.
Yeah, that clearly wasn't that hard.
But anyway, it is what it is during that whole conversation.
I don't know if it was the whole thing, but at some point Nick
puts his head on Charlie's shoulder.
Oh, he does In school. In the public?
Yep. But no homo.
No. No, homo, they're not.
They're they're good mates. They're just good mates, the
best of mates, the. Best.
Speaking of best, Bates, that one of the other cute part of
course in the library. Isaacs in there because it's the
library, so he is bonding with James, who was mentioned at some
point prior to this is James is the only other out gay guy at
truom, so they're adorably bonding over putting together a
read with Pride book display. In the library, and they're like
setting up all these books and like decorating it with like,
all the flags. It's the freaking cutest thing
I've ever seen. There's Isaac's dream book date.
Like creating a display like this, like Isaac's face is just
filled with so much joy, so happy.
So happy for him, but I also love that they're allowed to
have a display like this in their school.
I don't think we are in America anymore.
We're not allowed to have books in America but.
Especially this display, because it's not just like books with
career characters. Like the books they specifically
have on display are ones addressing and explaining
sexuality like they have the ace book that comes up again later.
They have ones about bisexuality, like that would
definitely not fly at an American public school, yes.
But I love that for them. So they're not studying, but
they're making a fabulous use of their time.
So Nick takes his chemistry exam.
Gcse's are over. All the lads run out of the
room, throw their shit up in the air.
We are ready for Paris. Mr. Farooq is like, enough of
this shit. Get out of my sight.
Unless you're here from Paris, because we got to talk about it
immediately after, you're getting ahead of ourselves.
Because when they're just finished the test, there's this
overhead shot and it's a little Askew.
I don't really. I didn't read too much into that
one, but the colors are very contrasty and everything is very
uniform, just like how the test is.
You mean the one in the gym? Dang, I like that.
Is it supposed to give you anxiety like you're about to
take a test? I don't know.
I just liked it. I also love.
I think that's here. At the end of this, one of my
favorite things too, when the exam is over, the coach, because
for some it's in the gym, so she's in charge of the exam cuz
that's her domain. When it's done, she's like, put
your pens down. Nobody in the room has a.
Pen They all have pencils for this exam, so I forgot about
that, yeah. Maybe laugh so hard because it's
one of those standardized tests. Like, part of the instructions
are you have to have a specific instrument, like a specific kind
of writing instrument. Wait, they're universal, right?
They're what? Number 2 pencils are universal,
right? Yeah.
Like, yeah, Like, that's what I mean.
Like, if it's a pencil, they'll specify a pencil versus pen.
And then if it's a pencil, what kind of pen?
Like a #2A number three like side question, Yes, we always
say #2 pencil. Is there a #1 pencil?
I think it has to do with the diameter of the lead maybe, but
like if you sharpen it, it's different and maybe for like.
There's a number in the UK. If you use #1 pencil, can you
please let us know? We obviously don't know a
goddamn thing. So we should put ourselves out
of our misery and just shoot out over to Paris, since we can't
with the school. So of course we're going to have
the joint Paris trip meeting in true, because everything always
happens in true. But Higgs is going to, which is
amazing. I know you keep bringing up that
everything happens in true, so my theory is boys always get a
bigger budget, so maybe they have better facilities and are
able to bribe the teachers to do extra things.
I think you are absolutely correct, because Patriarchy
Caitlin, you're correct. So Higgs has to get over to
Truman on the way Tara and Darcy are having this really cute
banter with each other because that's just who they are.
And Tara gets so caught up in the moment of how cute and
adorable this is. And she says, I love you,
basically to Darcy for the very first time.
Because you're annoying. Yeah, because.
She was being her annoying self and she's likes that about her.
And the conversation itself is really cute because it's just
Darcy being playful and she's like, we're gonna spend so much
time together on this trip and you're gonna get so annoyed with
me. And I think that language is
really indicative of Darcy's fear.
Because Darcy has this default where basically she uses humor
to kind of keep things surface level and to deflect her own
feelings. But although she's being
humorous in this conversation with Tara, her insecurities
really creep into it when she's saying that.
And the I Love You comes out because Tara is trying to assure
her, like, I love you because you're annoying, which to me
translates into I love you for exactly who you are.
And I don't think, I'm not sure that that really dawns on Darcy
fully because the Darcy and we'll get into this as the
season goes on. Darcy doesn't feel like she's
always being herself at all times.
So like this was like. Huge.
Not just the I love you, but the implications of like, I love you
for you, I think are too much for Darcy to really process
because she's also still hearing because you're annoying, yeah.
That's true, which is her school persona, right?
That's who she is at. School versus her home life is a
totally different story. Yeah, so poor Darcy and Tara
can, like, see the way Darcy's face just completely changes.
Yeah, so like Tara starts like backtracking, cuz like Darcy
can't process this. And I think that while Tara was
doing that to kind of like get Darcy off the hook.
Because of the way she's like, oh, that was too much, too soon
kind of thing. She's freaking out.
I don't want you to freak out. Don't worry about it.
I don't really mean it like that.
It was just a casual. It was casual, you know?
I'm just kidding, you know, so casual.
So. Capable.
This is like, we're gal pals, you know?
I think Darcy unfortunately takes that as confirmation that
like, nobody can ever love me kind of thing.
Because. And what we know from her home
life, like it's not a loving environment And so I I highly
doubt she's really heard those words genuinely spoken to her.
And so to have her say it and then immediately backtrack, I
think that, like, was a little triggering for for Darcy, you
know? And yeah, yeah.
And then so Darcy, just like basically like OK, walks away
and then tries the humor to cope with it by telling Sahar Prom
should be vampire themed. Yep, she really.
She really wants this vampire theme because it comes back
again. She wants vampire themes.
She throws out pirate themes like she wants Going to five
year old boy's birthday party, Yeah.
So that's. I'm surprised she wasn't like
Marvel themed at one point. She does bring up Mario and
Peach. So like, yeah, you're right.
It's like a boy's birthday. And it starts me in a nutshell,
to be honest. And Tara is understandably
completely confused by this. What what just happened?
Because like none of us planned and then the reaction was just
wow. But I think Tara, in this
moment, it's kind of maybe starts to become more apparent
to her that the two of them don't really have meaningful
conversations with each other or it's rare that it happens,
particularly ones that are about their feelings and how they're
feeling in in the moments. Support her.
She also I feel like doesn't know what to do with this, but
instead of like jumping into like clown mode, she just looks
really crushed after this happens, which is really sad.
And she looks like a lot this season.
But. Of course they did.
Yeah, I know she does. She just looks really crushed
this whole season and this makes me real sad.
And, and I think Darcy is too, but just doesn't show it.
Yeah, you know, I I want more for them next season.
Me too. But during the meeting, I don't
know if someone might have asked Isaac what he's reading, but the
book Isaac is reading at the meeting is called Book Lovers by
Emily Henry, and the rights were sold to make it into a film
soon. So.
You can look forward to that. I hope he's in it.
That'd be cool. Netta.
All right, so at this meeting, another cute thing that happens
when they finally get inside and sit down, James comes over to
invite Isaac to the big bonfire party that's happening.
And he's like, yeah, you should come And all your other friends
that are staring at us having this conversation.
Oh my gosh, I I love that I it always makes me laugh when
someone realizes there's more people and like, oh, OK.
Gotta love that tunnel vision. It is a really fucking funny.
But something that people don't miss is the fact that Tao is not
with them. And everybody's like where the
what? Where's Tao?
And so this whole meeting goes through where Mr. Farooq and the
art teacher whose names. I forgot the name I forgot.
I apologize the art teacher, I can't remember his name.
I'm sorry, I wouldn't call him Ben for some reason.
So my notes are always like the teachers or Farooq gives the art
teacher so bad. I love them though, to be clear,
but I just can never. Yeah, his name doesn't stick for
me. I am so apologize.
It's cuz everybody keeps saying Mr. Farooq over and over again
so his name is more in my brain. But at the meeting, basically
they're like, OK guys, well when we're in Paris you guys are
gonna have to be roommates and girls with girls, boys with
boys. There will be no cross gender
sharing. No, no.
Oh no. Which cries and lesbian cries
and lesbian. So the girls all decide to sit
to guide the room together. So it's going to be L, Tara,
Darcy and Sahara. And then for the boys, Nick,
Charlie, Tao and Isaac. And the saddest part of all of
this is when the teachers are like, OK, break and find four
people to room with. We shoot on over to poor Imogen,
who gets ditched immediately by Ben, who she's sitting with.
And she's just like sitting by herself and like looking around,
like she's like, I don't even know who to ask.
And girl, I've been there so many times with this.
I would just, like, assign us roommates.
Like, don't let us pick. Yeah.
So this is something like we were talking about how she
doesn't really have friends. So like, I've been in her place
where you see it feels like you have friends.
And then, But the minute their actual friends are around,
you're ditched. So, like, this is kind of what
that's like. That is exactly what she's with
Ben. I mean, like what would happen
if she was at that table? There'd be 5 girls.
Like what? Like that would be really left
out. Yeah, I feel like though, if she
was near them and like hanging out with them more.
Those girls would have tried to find somebody for her cuz like
to room with because that's who they are.
But that's not what Ben does. Ben just like whatever.
It completely blocks that image in and is trying to find himself
something. Yeah, it just her loneliness.
I've been there, girl. It makes it breaks my heart.
Somebody hug her. I wanna hug her.
I hug everybody. I know I wanna hug all these
people. They're all so great.
All right. And then once the Paris meeting
concludes, we all have our roommates.
We never learned who imaging rooms with, but I assume she has
roommates. Maybe she got a single.
That would honestly, I'd be down for that.
But anyway, when that ends, everybody leaves wherever they
were. And finally we see Tal and the
reason why he was missing because he has to ask Del L out
on the ultimate date and I have to point out.
Very public. It's the ultimate date.
So he shows up Spiffy a F with sunglasses on and it's after, so
this meeting happened after school, so it has to be night
time logically or getting close to night time.
He's got sunglasses on, he's got this like these nice clothes on.
He looks all spiffy. He cut his hair, he has a dozen
red roses and he's just standing there.
So it's like the most out of character Tao we've ever seen.
And this is the first time Sar has ever seen how this is what
she's seeing. So this is her intro to.
I mean she I feel like she's kind of used to the the rest of
the group on this point. She's like this is normal.
I mean, if you're friends with Darcy, this is super normal.
Darcy's like trying to convince you to make the prom vampire
themed. This is normal and so Tao.
Is accepting that vampire theme. Yeah, well, I think, OK, I think
she's not. She's more on board with the
pirate theme because the swords, vampires, unheld swords.
Come on, Tartsy, know your audience.
I mean, they could. If they were vampire pirates,
maybe. Anyway, so Tao asks L out and
he's like, do you want to go on a date with me tonight?
Which? It's really short notice, but
also. Al says yes, I need three
business days to make plans at least.
Yeah, cuz like Tao is like dressed for the date.
He's like, I'm ready to go, Let's go right now.
And I was like, I just got out of school.
I wanted this meet. I'm still in my uniform.
She's like, at first she's like, what is happening?
I'd be like, can I have a nap? First yeah, like like Saturday.
Let's go tomorrow. But also, L takes forever to
respond and just like kind of stares at towel.
And I feel bad for Towel because he's probably regretting
everything in that moment. Oh, probably.
Because clearly, he put so much thought into just asking her
out. And like, he cut his hair, he
got new clothes, like he got the flowers, he did all the things
like, he's just like, Oh no, where did I go wrong already?
We're not even on the date, which makes the date even
sadder. So that's yes, and they just and
Tao picked a cinema date because they both like movies.
So good. Thought good thought.
And Tao meets Elle in front of the theater and they go in
together and the butterflies follow Elle inside.
So like, it's showing that like she's really happy and in her
towel feels about this date and. But the date begins with Tao
buying tickets essentially to Elle's favorite movie, Moonrise
Kingdom, which is a film that she knows that Tao hates.
But again, just like everything else, when, you know since the
beginning episode. Like, Tao's really focused on
making this L's perfect date, like taking himself out of the
equation, and he's just, he's just trying way too hard to
impress her. To a point where he's behaving
like a completely different person.
And L, because she knows him so well, picks up on that
immediately and it sours the date for her.
And I think that the fact that she sees Tau changing kind of
like because of her in a way, almost reinforces to L
throughout the state that like this crossing the line from
friends things probably is definitely a bad idea if it's
going to completely change. Cow into somebody I can't
recognize, You know? Yeah.
Have you ever seen a movie with someone where you liked it, but
the person you were with hated it so much and wouldn't stop
complaining about it and you had to just listen to them complain
about it? But you actually like the movie
and you're just getting really pissed off because that's what I
feel like feels like right now. Yeah, and I feel like she has
already gone through this with this movie because she's like, I
already know you hate this and now they're reliving it.
You know what I mean, Because she's probably just thinking
about all the things he hates about it while watching it.
Yeah, well, probably. And then what happens right
after the date ends? Exactly what you says.
Tao's just like, word vomiting everything he hates, you know?
And I was like, I just watched my favorite movie.
She's clearly smiling, enjoying the movie, and then is brought
down by Tao's rant at the end. During the date, though, there's
a lot of like cute, awkward stuff because it's like they're
both their first dates, period, I I think.
And so like the thing happens where they're like trying to
hold hands and and things like that.
And I think this whole plotline is really important with the two
of them because it's it's a human thing.
It's like this, this trap we fall into when we're trying to
impress somebody else so badly. That we're just willing to, like
be chameleons and conform to, like whatever it is we think the
other person wants us to be. And for like Ellen Tal.
Like the irony of that really is the fact that they are drawn to
each other because of exactly who they are and not when
they're performing in social circles and things like that.
Because anytime you see them, like remember like when they
were getting the milkshakes and they were doing that like fish
hook dance with each other just naturally, that's just how they
are with each other and they're just giggling and having fun.
Like like they're into each other for who they are when
they're not performing, You know what I mean?
Yeah. And so like the and and the two
of them I think are the characters that are most secure
with who they are. Like at this point where we are
in the story because they're constantly just unabashedly
themselves in public. And that's an admirable quality,
like to have that kind of confidence.
And I think that's something that they both like, like in
each other. So yeah, this this date was
doomed to fall apart by the fact that Tao just was not being
himself at all. And just so the date, despite
the hand holding and the cutesy stuff that that did happen, it
just it falls apart because of that principle.
And L does call out Tao for just centering the data around her
when she's like we should do something we both want to do,
not just me, because it's not fun.
If you're just centering in this on one person, like, they're not
the type of people that like that.
I feel like if Imogen was making a date for Ben and like was
like, let's do something together, he would hate that
versus like centering the date around him because he's an
egomaniac. But these two are not.
And so just. They should have went to a brand
new movie so they could get dinner afterwards and analyze it
together. Because we've seen them do that
together. Yeah, that's what they love.
But, and I guess Tao would have thought of that if he wasn't
trying so hard. I know, he just.
Also, something that really confuses me is that he cuts his
hair, but earlier Elle said that she likes his hair long.
Yeah. So, like, he wasn't.
He thought that's what she wanted, but she literally told
him that she didn't want him to cut his hair.
Yeah, I think it's one of those things where he was just so in
his head that he just like blocked everything out and that
that was that that he went on a Google rabbit, the.
Internet told him to cut his hair and he cut the Internet
told him and he's just like, this is what girls like.
I can't mess this up. Cut hair.
Also, I love the comically large food they have.
I like. I feel like the only thing they
could do is to. Signify how outrageous the food
is at movie theaters. But their drinks are so small in
comparison to like this large Nacho thing.
It was a normal sized drink with like a triple X popcorn and a
triple X nachos. And they.
ATE like all of it, so kudos to them at.
Least the food was good, I guess.
Yeah, I guess they really don't need dinner now.
No. All right.
So they. So even though the date went
poorly, at the end of it, they still decide to go to the the
bonfire party together. So we kind of cut over it to see
what everybody else is doing at the bonfire before they get
there and we have James and Isaac immediately or just like
go off and do their own thing. And I love when they run away
and Isaac is like, oh, we're running.
That's one of my favorite. Moments.
That's adorable. So adorable, Josh.
It's so adorable. But even if they are just
friends, they're still adorable together.
But Isaac needs a friend who shares his love of books,
because it is really tiring to only have friends who don't like
what you are most passionate about.
Because, like, I've always, like been obsessed with TV and stuff,
and I would want to talk about it nonstop, but I had no one
around me who wanted to talk about it, so.
I think that's why, especially in the beginning of this
podcast, I cried a lot in these things because I was just so
happy to have people in my life who wanted to talk about the
same things that I did. And it's you.
You need it? Yeah, I totally agree with that
because I've seen stuff online when people kind of talking
about the friend group because, OK, let's think about their
friend group for a second. So Tao and Charlie became
friends, like when they were little because they were paired
together in school and they bonded over a shared interest of
Radiohead. So it's established that Tao and
Charlie have things in common. We never learn about how they
became friends with Elle or Isaac, but it seems like Elle
and Tao have that art thing in common, and movies in common
because we've seen them independently by themselves,
sitting down watching movies. Where does Isaac really fit in?
I feel like they got partnered up with Isaac when they're like,
older than when Tao and Charlie became friends.
But it was still like that age group where you, like, get
paired up with someone. You're like, OK, we're best
friends now. Yeah, but I'm just thinking on
like an interest level. Like it?
Do the other friends share his interests, you know?
It really doesn't seem like it. I gotta read that book.
But about Allred who's who? What is Isaac is based off of.
But yeah, I. And so I'm really glad you
brought that up about James. Like if James came into the fold
in the, like, queer friend group, that would be perfect,
because like you said, him and Isaac actually share, you know,
the love of books together. And like, I think that's
probably why. When now that we know what we
know about Isaac, I think that's probably why he lit up with the
like, date idea. Cuz he's like you pick up books
for each other and then you exchange and then read it and
then talk about it. Like, yeah, he probably needs a
friend to talk about books with. I do love them as friends.
I really do. Yeah, no matter what.
He just, he needs James. He does Okay.
But we have to talk about Tori now.
Yes, we have to talk about Tori. So Tori shows up with Nick and
Charlie. And, OK, now we have to get into
the straw theory, because I was always like, why is she?
She always has a straw and a drink.
And now I know from reading solitaire that her favorite
drink is diet lemonade, and she's always drinking it.
And she does drink it with straws.
But there's a theory that YouTube friend.
Oh, my God, I'm gonna butcher this.
I'm sorry. I can try to say it for you if
you want to do it. Annika Osterink, Yes, love you,
love you. And love you for all the
comments you left on our videos about the hard stopper stuff
because she pointed out this I don't actually didn't mean to
presume. They pointed out the Tori straw
hypothesis, which is that when Tori has her drink and her
straw, she is an even tempered human being.
When she does not have her drink in her straw, she's murderous
and has murder on her mind. Because in this scene she does
not have said drink and no straw.
And what happens in this scene she basically threatens Nick and
she's like take care of my brother, I'll fucking kill you.
And later in the bonfire party, when Nick is looking for Charlie
after he lost him, she has her little drink and she's much less
murderous with Nick, even though he broke his promise and lost
Charlie. I think that theory tracks what?
It does, and it and there's another scene where it tracks as
well without the drink. Yeah, without the drink.
Oh yes, because it's with David at that scene.
You're so great. That was when she was at her
most murderous. Because he's a Dick.
Yes. Yeah, he deserved it.
I almost wish she had the drink and she could have poured it on
him. But Tori loves her diet lemonade
so much she would have wasted. So it kind of made that OK.
So Nick and Charlie, so they're there together.
And from the beginning, Nick doesn't seem OK.
He says he has like, a headache, which is not something Nick.
He's not somebody who gets chronic headaches from what we
can tell. And immediately Charlie's like,
cool. Do you want to leave?
And next thing, no, I, you know, we're going to have fun.
I'm here, I'm going to tell the rugby lads everything's going to
be great, but it does not seem like everything is going to be
great. It's like off to a bad start,
like already. And so they kind of like wander
into the into the party and they of course find like a secluded
area in the woods, not by the bonfire, where they're kind of
like doing their own thing and being cutesy.
And near them is Sahar and Tara. And Tara's on the phone with
Darcy. Like, obviously asking like,
where are you? You're not here.
And we find out from their conversation that basically,
like, Darcy couldn't get a ride out to the woods.
And I assume it's because her mom refused to take her, because
we know we know about her mom now.
But Tara's like, I don't understand.
Like, if you couldn't get a ride, why don't you just tell me
like ask for help? Like I It also seems like
through a lot of these conversations, too, that Darcy's
not somebody who asked for help. Very independent.
Yeah. And I think maybe she she had to
be because of her home life. Is her mom really taking care of
her? I does not seem like it at all.
Like, it seems like Darcy's very much on her own, a lot more than
she should be. And Tara obviously doesn't know
any of this about Darcy's homeless because she won't talk
about it. And so she's just like,
frustrated. And she's expressing that it's
hard. And she's like, I don't
understand, like, why she wouldn't just let me help her.
Like, I would. I would have brought her here.
We would have fun and stuff. And Sahar says, well, maybe
she's just embarrassed. And so, like, it's it's
interesting that, like, Sahar can kind of see, like, a little
bit of what's going on with Darcy and her doesn't really see
it. And yeah, and what I find
interesting about Darcy's situation, it's like the
opposite of what's going on with Tao and L because Darcy is
somebody who performs to conform at home, to, like, appease her
mother, who's like homophobic and terrible, but while she's at
school, she's unabashedly herself.
And. And that's the thing that, like,
Tara loves about her. And I think what's what really
happens with her this season and what's starting to happen now,
is that she's struggling with that separation of like who I am
at home and who I am not at home.
Basically, the closer she gets with Tara, because Tara
generally wants to know every aspect of Darcy and she wants to
spend a lot of time with her. And that's kind of why she
wanted her, the bonfire and all that stuff.
And it's pretty clear from this conversation with Sahar when
Sahar says Darcy might just be embarrassed.
And the way Tara kind of lights up that she's super attracted to
Darcy's confidence because she says she's the most confident
person I know. Nothing embarrasses her.
And she's, like, beaming when she says this.
So, like, I can kind of see, like, why Darcy would kind of be
scared to, like, confess all of these things because it's very
evident that Tara does like that about Darcy like a lot.
Yeah. Tara talks about it a lot.
Yeah, exactly. So it kind of like, adds to the
complexity of, like, Darcy's situation and like, why she's
just like, I'm not going to tell you everything and I'm just, I'd
rather just not go to the party at all than like, have all this
home life shit come out to Tara by accident, you know?
Yeah, so it's like she's not at the party, but like, I can see
why she would elect not to go then, like, bring Tara into her
home life, BS. I feel really bad for Darcy.
I know, it's awful. She deserves to have an Olivia
Coleman. Oh my God.
Olivia Coleman should just adopt Darcy and get rid of David.
Yes, Darcy can have David's room.
Yeah, for real. I would love that.
I like that idea. Darcy and Nellie would get along
too. Hello.
You mentioned family dinners too.
Oh my God, that'd be so cute. Darcy just trying to feed Nellie
under the table. Oh my God, she absolutely would.
Speaking of cuteness, So like 5 feet over from where Sahara and
Tara are, Nick and Charlie are being the cutest thing on the
planet and just like giggling and taking pictures and stuff.
And while this is happening, Charlie brings up Paris.
And so Paris has been this goal for them for like, we're going
to come out where we'll be out by the time we get to Paris
because it's like the city of love and we'll be out in public.
And it's going to be great. Like, exams are over, new year,
new US out and proud kind of thing.
And it's really clear by watching Nick that, like, the
Paris deadline is like stressing him out, you know, And so, you
know, he Oh dear, I lost myself. It's.
OK, OK, so he's like, he's got a lot of pressure on him and he's,
he's all the more determined to like tell the rugby lads at this
Bonfire party so that, like, Paris can be a reality.
So he finds them at some point during this party and is like
trying to tell them. He's like, hey, I got something
to tell you guys, but it's like they're in the middle of a
party. Like this is a bad idea.
Like everybody's like screaming. There's like a giant fire the
size of my house, like this is a bad.
Setting the size of my house. Where have they got all this
wood? So, like, are they burning
tables and chairs as well? Don't.
No. It's like straight up plywood
creating this like bonfire. It's like burn a witch at the
steak type of bonfire. It's.
Insane. It's insane.
How did the fire department not show up at all?
They must be deep in those woods.
Which is even danger more dangerous because of the trees
around them. I don't this is a terrible idea
and clearly not sanctioned by like a forest Ranger And so
anyway. So he's like they're in front of
this drive fire and like, Nick's trying to psych himself up to
tell the rugby lads and Harry shows up And so like, Nick keeps
getting in this pattern when he's like getting really close.
But then like here, here comes in another reason for me not to
do this. And so like it's it's really,
really clearly difficult for Nick to like just do.
It's not something you can just do.
It's not a rip the Band-Aid off thing.
Like it's it's really harder for Nick than he anticipated and
it's like stressing him out to the point where he's like sick
which is sad and like coming out shouldn't shouldn't be like
that. We shouldn't have to do it at
all. But you know, I feel so bad for
Nick, but at some point how and L make an appearance and
actually let's just finish the Nick and Charlie thing.
I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to do that anyway.
While they're doing that though, and Harry shows up, Charlie
shows up because they got separated for hot minute and
Charlie is the one who, like he couldn't do with David.
He sticks up for Nick against Harry and tells him to fuck off
or whatever. He says, which I'm gonna hydrate
for Charlie. That was really big of him to do
that. I think he told him to piss off.
I know means the same thing. But trying to figure out the
right words, Theora. But I think that's like Charlie
redeeming himself for like what happened with David when he
couldn't, like, save him. And another thing I really like
about that scene too is like when Nick is having that like,
internal montage of like basically all the biphobia like
going through his brain where he's like he has a picture of of
Tori being like, oh, you're biased, you're going to cheat on
my brother. That's what that means.
And like Imogen being like you're not just gay brother pick
a side. And then it ends with Charlie
being like, well, you promised me you were going to come out.
And I think that's really the crux of it all.
Like it's not just the bad reactions, it's the the
biphobia. I think it's getting to him.
And then the pressure from you know, the the not the pressure,
but the Nick feels like he's letting Charlie down because
this is so hard and he he hasn't accomplished what he was he said
he would accomplish by the Paris trip.
You know and Nick clearly cares so much about Charlie and he
would never let him down if he, you know, if he could help it.
And I think that's really what's upsetting him the most.
It's not the coming out, it's the letting Charlie down part.
Which is what Charlie's been trying to avoid, I know, and
it's just like there's something you can't avoid.
You just. It's a difficult situation, it
really is. But before that bonfire, I
forgot to mention this part. There's a moment where Isaac and
James are just like talking to each other and like having fun.
And then Isaac glances at this couple making out nearby and the
quickly looks away again. So like Isaac's journey
highlight. But also I feel like he's
thinking, can people just keep their hands off each other for
like 5 minutes? Because these people, they can't
just be, they have to be with someone.
Yeah, it's just teenagers, just teenagers, okay and so
backtracking just a little bit or I guess at that to end that
scene. So at this point, Carly's like
Nick does not look okay and Nick is like, I feel ill.
I can't do this. And so Charlie goes to like,
take Nick away and they kind of leave.
But before we get to that point, there's we have to talk about
the Elm Tao stuff because they do eventually make their
appearance at the party. Like it's already like full
swing. This is when the bonfire gets
lit. And it must have been an awkward
car ride there. Oh my God, it must have been.
I hope Tao wasn't ranting about that movie anymore.
It. Was probably dead silent.
Yeah, unfortunately, I think that's exactly what it was.
And who is there at the party, But it's Naomi and Felix, and
Tau immediately is just immediately insecure because to
him, they threaten, they're like they're the new life that Elle
is leaving him for. So that's the that's the
breaking point. And they get into the argument
about this. And ultimately, Elle's like,
look, this is too much if I'm tired of feeling like crap about
this. The state was a disaster.
Romance ruins friends. Let's just end this now before
this goes any further and she just storms away to hang out
with her art friends. Meanwhile, Tao is kind of just
standing there, kind of lost in himself.
And at this point, Charlie is looking for Nick and happens to
find Tao first. And I love their moment together
because Tao just is fully insecure about himself and has a
bit of a breakdown. And it basically is just like
expressing things like I'm not worthy, who could ever love me
kind of stuff. And Charlie just hugs him and
reminds him you're amazing. And I love you.
And I love that scene between the two of them because romantic
love is not everything, like love between friends.
Sometimes it's more important. And so to have Charlie, who's
known him for so long, be like like, remember who you are.
Tal, you're awesome. I love you.
Like, I love that scene kind of before towel leaves, like with
those. Two, I mean, I know Towel is
like worried that all is changing, but I mean, she is
because they're growing up, they're all going to change.
But she's finally starting to find her place and a place in
the world, basically with the help of this new school which is
shown with the friends being there.
Like I love seeing her with them.
Because you can just tell like that's where she clicks.
Elle is changing and Tao once things stay the same, so he is
stifling Elle by not allowing her to find her place and grow
into herself. Like, I know it's really hard to
be like happy when there's like new friends around because like,
I would feel the same. I'd be like, oh, they're taking
her away from me, but. I think he needs to look back
and see how happy she is and take that with how she's not
going to just leave him. But it's it's hard to say when
you have those issues. Yeah, and I think he gets there
eventually. But coming off of that disaster
date, yeah, it's so awesome. I feel like he would have
reacted slightly differently had that day not been a disaster.
You know, he's already feeling insecure.
And this just like, was the bomb on the ship kind of thing.
But yeah, and you're right. This is like that point in their
lives where everybody is changing.
And like, you know, sometimes change is good, sometimes it's
bad, sometimes it hurts, sometimes it's happy.
Like it's growing pains. So, all right, let's.
Go to jump to Olivia Coleman, okay.
So Nick and Charlie go to Nick's house and Charlie.
This is the date with the three teak, varying sizes, very
expensive. And the first time we watched
this, Caitlin was like, Are those all for Olivia Cole?
I don't know why, That's why what I thought, I really
thought, I don't know. I really don't know what was
going in my head. I love that though.
She's with a tea fiend. Why would I think that all three
of them are for Olivia Coleman? Because she's the best, OK and
because she's the best OK. So this scene that happens with
Charlie and Olivia Coleman where he gives her the tea and then he
goes to they have a little chat and then he goes to bring the
tea upstairs. The only reason this scene even
exists is because Joe, half kidding but not kidding was like
I I I need a scene with Olivia Coleman, like I need one.
And so this is the scene. They literally wrote it because
he asked for a scene with her and so that's why the scene
exists. That's amazing.
I mean, technically he has with the one scene with her, but like
one-on-one scene. OK, yeah.
It's like I want to see you amazing.
I know. So I love that so much.
This little tiny scene is so thank.
Thank you, Joe. Next season it's going to be
everyone has a one-on-one with Olivia Cole.
Is she becomes like the therapist or something?
She's just runs in the Isaac in a bookstore.
I can't think. It's OK to question yourself.
It's OK to not feel like everybody else.
You will find your place. I really want that scene now,
Caitlin, God damn it. Or she's the therapist that
intervenes between Sahar and imaging when they're trying to
figure their shit out. And she's like, it's clearly
obvious between the two of you the way you look at each other.
Just give give each other a chance.
Here's some teeth. Look at each other.
Look at the eyes, That eyes. You see.
You see that twinkle? Don't don't forget about your
tea. Your tea is getting cold.
It's getting cold. Oh my God, I love her.
So, unfortunately, we have to leave Olivia Coleman.
I mean, no. Olivia Coleman is such a
supportive queen. That's yes to everybody, even
character. She hasn't met yet, apparently,
according to our fan fiction. We raised so much fan fiction in
these episodes. It's just fan fiction makes
everything better, so we can't help it.
So Charlie takes the T, goes upstairs and Nick's like feeling
terrible. So he's just like in bed, like,
I need some rest. And they have a chat and they
finally, like, come clean about what they've been feeling and
what we've been perceiving, what they're feeling.
And essentially, Nick does confirm that coming out by the
Paris trip has been stressing him out.
And because coming out to everybody except his mom has
been a lot harder than he thought it was going to be,
which totally understandable. And to this, Charlie drops my
favorite line from Heart Stopper, which was originally
said by Allred, who is the character that is basically
Isaac. And he says there's this idea
that if you're not straight, you have to tell all your family and
friends immediately. Like, you owe it to them, but
you don't. You don't have to do anything
until you're ready. And in the book, he basically
said that to Charlie when Charlie was, like, really
stressed out about, like, telling Tao, because like, in
the books, Charlie didn't tell Tao he was dating Nick.
And so I think it came out about that time.
But I just love that line. Because yes, like, unfortunately
coming out is a thing queer people do for straight people.
I feel like because straight is the default in everybody's
brain. So you almost have to explain
like no, like I'm not the default.
Because you don't want someone saying like, oh, do you have a
boyfriend yet? Yes, exactly.
So you have to be like, I'm not that.
So you have to correct them essentially by doing this.
So it's like, but but The thing is be like, I love this line
because like you you can like, I understand that feeling that
pressure to like you have to tell everybody immediately when
you meet them or like when something comes up and like it's
almost like you can't do it on your own terms kind of thing.
So you constantly have to do it. Coming out is a forever thing.
I mean, I feel like it's easier if you have a wife though,
right? They you just be like here's my
wife. That does make it easier, yes.
Our marriage is to so we don't have to come out anymore.
Or is it just a gal pal that your roommates with?
We have gotten sisters a few chance, which I don't
understand. We look totally different.
I'm like, how, how? But anyway, key message don't
come out until you're ready. You don't owe anybody anything.
I love that. So in this in this talk that
they have together, like Charlie officially takes the Paris
deadline off the table because Charlie wants to alleviate all
stress from Nick. And Nick's happy about this and
kind of cuddles and like kind of goes to sleep.
And we get this shot of Charlie's face, like kind of
processing that reality. And it's very clear that, like,
Nick not being out is stressing out Charlie, which it must suck
to be. I understand Charlie's like, why
he's so stressed out because, like, it must suck to be in that
position where you're like, I'm ready to be out and like, have
the person of my dreams be out with me.
But they're not ready, and I understand why they're not
ready. So it's just like, Charlie is
just internalizing all of his, like, frustration with this.
And it's just it seems like it's just getting worse and worse
like each episode. Well, I feel like his first
relationship was Ben and he had to hide the whole time.
So he's like, I can finally have someone who gets me and who
loves me. Yeah, they haven't said love
yet, but it's only a matter of time.
And the last important thing from the scene is that Nick
drops that pet name Char when he tells Charlie he's proud of him
for telling Harry fuck off. I love it.
It's only time to drop the pet name.
It's then and their little conversation there is so cute
when Charlie's like, I would fight him for you.
I would do all this stuff good. I just love it.
And that's promise. The did you like?
It, Caitlin. Of course I liked it.
I promised we weren't lying. Yes, good call back.
I forgot the the episode title. I try.
Well, I challenge you to disprove me.
That's the next episode. Yeah, I was like.
I wonder where you got that next slide.
All right, before I start trying to go through all the titles, I
hope you guys enjoyed this episode.
