Another “blink and you miss it” moment is when they’re in Sterling’s dads wood shop making their assignment, April actually bites her lip after looking at Sterling (you can kinda see it when when they do a close up shot of her face but its so fast you can barely catch it)

Oooh, this?

You must have rewatched a bunch, lol.

But it’s so interesting, right! Within the show and outside it, the interviews with Devon show that she at least is not necessarily playing this as something romantic, and yettttt. Like, on those rewatches, you can seeee this growing curiosity and interest on her side as well! In the big subtext ships like SC or Faberry where we can point out scenes from, say, Lena or Quinn where there’s some intense gazing and it just feels romantic, but apparently not intentionally, but then you have something like this where it’s still subtext at this stage except for an eventually reciprocated canon ship. Just fun to consider and contrast all these. 😮
