OKAYYYYYY finally some real acting! maaaan i could cut the tension with a butter knife in that last scene ugh i hate when people act like helen. it’s obvious she’s gonna be groveling for forgiveness when she finally accepts that she’s not happy with ryan and she ruined things with erik for nothing.
but more importantly, FINALLY MORE TYANNIE FOCUS and idk if i’m connecting the right dots but is ty projecting his feelings for annie onto his feelings for baseball? it seems telling that when he appears to feel like he’s missed his chance with her that he throws himself back into the sport he also walked away from (and specifically at a school that will take him away from serenity and consequently away from annie).
