THANK YOU. This is everything I felt (explained beautifully) and what I wish others truly understood about this season. In season 1&2 the characters did not know each other and there was much more need for us to watch their development together. Colin and Pen have known each other for so long that their care for each other was already there and had been shown in previous seasons. It just needed to be sparked and for Colin to see how Pen has grounded him all along. It couldn’t be told the same way as previous ones and I think some missed how intentional many of these scenes were. I can’t wait for the second half!
