Why do I always have to be Gay Victor?
Why cant I just be Victor?
Especially throughoutLove, Victors first two seasons, Victor had to fight to be Gay Victor.
(In other words, for playing sports, I guess.)
But Victors always struggled with homophobia and general weirdness from his coach and some of his basketball teammates.
He asks if they can move to a table outside, and Victor doesnt pick up on his discomfort.
Victor brings up the gay award, and Rahim doesnt understand why he isnt jumping to accept it.
I am tall, I am fashion-forward, I am the moment, Rahim says.
Theres Lake and Lucy, Felix and his mom, even Andrew and Mia.
Lets get into it.
That lasts for about one hour.
I cant live in the now, Lucy, she says, tearing up a bit.
I just dont understand why you have to go.
Lake gets it, but she cant handle a slow-burn heartbreak when shes already falling in love.
They decide to go their separate ways.
Then, theres Mia and Andrew.
He didnt bother to tell Mia; ditching the game to fly out to California instead was a no-brainer.
Mia is my future, Andrew says.
Everything else comes second.
But back at the house, with Veronica, Mias rethinking her own future.
Over at the Weston residence, Felix and his mom are both going through breakups.
If this is the end of Felixs arc, its a satisfying one.
This episodes biggest heartbreak happens to Benji.
Hard enough that he heads over to Victors house …
… and sees him kissing Nick good-bye.
Between this and the wedding incident, Benjisreallygotta learn to initiate the lets get back together conversation over text.
Benji has to put his sobriety first; Andrew has to figure out how to prioritize his basketball career.
Lucy has to move for her own well-being, and Mia might have to move for hers, too.
but I doubt theyll all make it through the finale unscathed.
Did anyone out there predict that Victors parents would actually be the strongest couple at this point?
Postscript
This episodes best line goes to Felix: I dont believe in expiration dates.
Thats just a myth Big Grocery invented to sell more soup.
… and this episodesworstline goes to Nick.
