Maya saying i love you seemed as if she was just reminding herself that she loves Carina and not to be angry at her more than anything else. Plus there is no growth going on in their relationship, Maya never talks to Carina the conversation she had with Andy should have been with her instead. She is still rude to Carina and she doesn’t try to explain herself to her and i can’t believe they never dealt with Andy moving in situation. It’s getting on my nerves how everyone gets screentime but them.

Ah! I see what you mean, like that, but the end result is the same thing, right, Maya making an effort?

Do agree that she needs to talk to Carina, I think we’re ALL agreed that there needs to be way more digging deep into their issues. Hopefully we’ll get more after the hiatus like they promised.

I’m not really sure how Maya and Carina’s relationship “grew” this episode but the Maya and Andy scene in the equipment room was all kinds of good. Danielle is killing that storyline and as much as I want Maya/Carina I am so happy that Maya is healing. That last scene was solid too. S3 Maya wouldn’t have listened, she would’ve continued to try and pick a fight. So i guess that’s growth.

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.

Carina is a obgyn. I am sure that she makes plenty of money. Moving to whatever place would be no issue for her. I wonder whose house they will move into. I kinda hope that it will be Carina’s. I wanna see a new set and I am pretty sure that Carina also has the bigger house.

True, true, she can probably do whatever. I think from the promo pics of 4×04 it’s Maya’s kitchen so sorry, no new set. It’s probably for the best, this show would never do justice to what Carina DeLuca’s place would be like. 😛
