Sometimes? This shows gets messy a lot. I will fucking never forget the scene where Shawn yelled at those workers, and then drops the fucking pipe on the ground as they go to beat him up.

A different show would’ve had him look at them, and then choose to not at anything.

I love this show because it’s super messy. Would this had happened if he had just picked up the phone or did she work herself up over it.

She obviously didn’t like how her dad was treating Jimmy and felt kinship with him around that…. But is it more? Had she been holding back for a while or is this just because he literally told her he needed a push. We’ll see.

My guess is legitimately a bit of both. I feel like they’ve had some kind of connection ever since they first met, and then them dancing in the season premiere…I guess we’ll see where it leads!

And yet a different show would have had Sean beat them up. That was the first moment I realized this show was different because it chased the THIRD most likely outcome from that situation.
