yes i AM enjoying it! and i agree with what u said abt wlw not being interchangeable. But it honestly it seems so intentional that even if they retroactively say mary and shan were ~involved~ they’ll be able to get away with it, the groundwork’s already there. and the angst lover in me kinda likes the idea of bea pining for ava but not saying anything and just throwing herself into serving and protecting her instead that would be so beatrice

Oh, for sure. They’ll be able to get away with a LOT, tbh, if they want to say it’d been there all along. Just depends on if they want to. 

And yes, I kind of expect and want Beatrice to be pining away silently and for it to be slow burn as HECK, and then all come to the fore in perhaps ep 2×08 (the symmetry!) and have her be like, hurt while trying to protect Ava and Ava realizing all kinds of things and being like, oh. Just you know, if they’re gonna go there. 😛
