Honestly, with the instant connection they had, and the circumstances under which it was further forger under, meeting while grieving for a parent, kidnap after kidnap, I would have believed if they’d gone all through that in a few weeks!
And you know, tbh, I didn’t think the last eps were that bad. Bad, but not that bad. They were able to make it through a fight, Val stood up to her sister, and then despite being torn to shreds by her was still was able to go back to Juls and do the soft little pact reminder and then after some sudden and vicious bullying, with the help of her secret dad was able to actually come through with new fortitude on how to approach everything, including drinking.
They’re facing a bunch of bad things right now, Lucho, Eva (and her hypocrisy! EXPERIMENTED IN COLLEGE???), being outed left and right and homophobia and bullying from others (friends, I thought :/) but these are all framed as obstacles for them to overcome together. They’re not still fighting each other or feeling conflicted about their feelings, the kind of stuff we’d actually hate.
