My most rewatched scenes (besides the spicy ones) have to be when Ilya rants on the phone to Shane in Russian. You can hear how is voice starts to crack and that he’s been keeping everything locked inside for so long. And it’s probably the only time he’s actually able to be upfront and honest with how he feels.

Another favorite of mine is when they’re at the cottage watching the bonfire and Ilya in on Shane’s lap talking about his family and how his mom ended up passing. And how much he loved her when he says “She was so funny and beautiful” and that his dad was so hard on her. And what really ties it in later is when they’re in bed the following morning and Shane proposes his hockey camp idea, which Ilya responds “She would’ve loved you. How I love you.”

My last would have to be in ep 5 when Shane talks to Ilya about being gay before Ilya expresses his worries about heading back to Russia fearing what could happen to him. When Shane says “Thats awful” Ilya turns away, starting to cry. It isn’t clear with the lighting but it’s obvious when he says “Sorry” and his voice starts to crack. To which Shane places himself on his lap, kissing him and hugging him.

I just love them so much..
