this episode is literally my favorite episode in all of television. i just feel so at home i feel like i’m being hugged it’s so cozy and happy it’s family. moments that have become 10x better after s4: “yeah i kinda can’t forget about anything that happened at homecoming” x “i don’t think i’ve ever forgotten a word you’ve said” ricky’s extreme nervousness and immediately changing the subject after the homecoming line x ricky nervously looking gina in the eye and singing love you forever “so do you care about ricky?” “and what if i do?” x “but with you, i feel so seen. and so understood.” when there was me and you x maybe this time. “so what happened with gina on friday” “i’m not sure yet” x “i’ve never been more sure of what i got yeah, cause this is so much more than puppy love.” “and for some of us this has become… i don’t know… family.” x “i don’t know where i would’ve ended up if this program never found me. this is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” ricky being anxious about this musical ending because it’s his happy place x ricky being anxious about not being able to do hsm3 with gina because that’s his happy place gina being worried she’ll lose ricky if the show ends x gina only joined the show because of ricky in the first place “she’s the first teacher ever to not see me as a punchline. she gave me a shot and it’s been a long time since someone gave me a shot” x the carlosjenn flashback in 406
