Oh, that’s a good point! She did indeed simply apologize, so that was something. And I did definitely like the scene with Andy, I remember in s1 when it was Andy just spilling all her troubles while Maya was just there to listen, it’s nice that Andy can do that for Maya too.
I like the fact that Carina didn’t reply with an ”I love you” back. I know she said it in 3×16 but her not saying it now maybe shows that they aren’t still in an ideal place in their relationship.
Oh, hmm, I didn’t really take that as a sign of anything, it just seemed like a quick thing Maya is trying to get into the habit of saying? Part of her making an effort? The awkwardness with the hand and just the way she blurted it out made it seem like it didn’t come easily but I actually really liked it. And Carina seemed to think the same, I think she realized it was a thing Maya was saying to her and not necessarily anything deeper that needed to be reciprocated.
I liked that Maya spoke so frankly about her feelings but I wanted to see her speak to Carina about those feelings too…
Definitely! If the one way Carina is getting screentime is with Maya, why not give a bit of that story to her? Or have all three talk together, since Andy’s living with them?
Like, it can be interesting, where Maya’s so afraid to turn into her dad with Carina and is afraid to talk to her about it, doesn’t want to scare her off, and goes to Andy instead, and then as soon as she gets home and one small thing doesn’t go her way, she does get (a little) mad, like that’s an interesting coherent story! But then to not see the aftermath of that explored with Carina, then that feels like the arc’s incomplete, right. Carina shouldn’t need that whole explanation for why the kitchen’s like that, they both deserve to be able to talk out why Maya acted like that in the first place.
