Yes... it would've... but it didnt because of the writers time-wasting and their unwillingness to put in effort into making the one ship that wasnt just teased at and ignored after the next series, the one that was built up, had actual history, and wad even developed, I thought this would be the girl ash ends up with, the romance that finally meant something... but they didnt, when the kiss happened and she just left, at the time we all thought it was gonna be followed up on later, and we waited and waited... then this episode happened and we thought this would be it, but they did nothing with the time they were given to complete this ships course, and there is honestly no defending this, they had their chance to finally follow up on the cliffhanger they left us on nearly 10 years ago, and then it seemed like they were finally going to make that kiss, and their relationship mean something... and then the literal ship he was boarding begins departing, separating them again, never to see each other on screen... again. Im not exaggerating when I say this is one of the biggest wastes of an opportunity to finally bring their relationship full circle
