So, I stayed up and I watched episode five and six. So, we're getting these back and back to back. So, if you don't know what Heated Robbery is because you're missing out on the greatness of television that is television, let me tell you a little bit about the show. So here Robbery is a popular gay sports romance novel and now the 2025 TV adaptation by Rachel Reed that focuses on the intense secret romantic relationship between NHL rival stars Shane Hollander from Montreal and Ilia Rosenoff from the Boston Bears.

[00:02:52]Spanning nearly a decade, this story follows them from the 19-year-old rookies to veterans as they navigate a fiery long-term affair hidden from media fans and teammates. Now that you know a little bit about heated rivalry, today we're looking at episode five. I'll believe in anything.

[00:03:12]Y'all, I I I don't want to waste any more time. Nothing. Let's hop straight into this because these last two episodes, beautiful work. Beautiful work. So, let's get to breaking out episode 5. What's up, y'all? So, um tonight is going to be a long night. So, um I am about to watch episode five and six and I am going to break them both down. Y'all get the video soon. But yeah, we're about to get through this.

[00:03:45]So, let's hop into episode 5. I'll believe in anything.

[00:03:50]And I'm very nervous about this episode.

[00:03:53]I Shane, Ilia, and Scott each face pivotal personal decisions.

[00:04:00]I'm getting nervous, but we're going to react to it together. Of course, you're going to get my live reaction. So, yeah.

[00:04:06]Let's first hop into episode 5. Let me go get my tissue cuz like I just feel it coming. Like I feel it coming. Let me get it.

[00:04:15]Oh, they're in the other bathroom.

[00:04:18]All right, we got our tissue. Um, yeah.

[00:04:21]Let's get into episode five. I'm so nervous.

[00:04:26]God, this was such a good episode. So, we first start and we're following up from Shane and Rose night. Um, and it was not a great night. Things didn't go so well.

[00:04:41]Things didn't go up as they were supposed to. Things weren't as good as it was supposed to be. It wasn't giving.

[00:04:48]So, um, you see again that relationship of them doing the same thing at the same time with Shane and Ilia. They're both scrolling through comments of Rain, um, team Rain as I keep calling them.

[00:05:02]They're just scrolling through the comments of things that's happening.

[00:05:04]Like, okay, let's go through, let's see what's going on. And I love this because it gave me like stay Twitter and like how people be over fandoms and things of that nature as they were acting. Oh my god, I love y'all. that's how people really be acting. Um, and we learned that there's an upcoming game where Shane and Ilia have to play on the same team. Um, the All-Star game is what the game is. But before we get there, Rose and Shane are at a dinner. They have a dinner to make up from the poor night that they had or whatever. And Rose is asking um Shane about gay hockey players and things of that nature. And Shane's like, you know, yeah, I'm sure they're gay hockey players, but they're not out.

[00:05:46]They're probably clos They're closeted.

[00:05:49]They're not probably They are closeted.

[00:05:51]So, we think, but we'll get there. Um, it was just a like, you know, it was a very weird interaction between them at that time because she's asking him about closeted gays and he is a closeted gay.

[00:06:05]So, you could understand how that was awkward for Shane.

[00:06:10]Um, and she's like, you know, because I like you, Shane, but you know, maybe I'm not doing it for you. And she talks about Miles and how Miles really liked Shane and things of that nature, but he's like, "Oh, cool." Like, he didn't realize that Miles was gay. Whatever.

[00:06:26]Y'all, we got to talk.

[00:06:28]So, uh, they're at dinner and Shane and Rose are talking about like gay hockey players, anybody that's closeted or open because he didn't know that, um, Miles was gay.

[00:06:44]Okay. But, um, she's like, you know, saying, I really like you, but am I not doing it for you? Yeah, because that, um, Boing ain't coming up for you, honey. cuz he don't like me. Yeah, I'm happy because I'm team Holling, but like I'm not happy because her heart going to get broke. Yeah, man.

[00:07:13]The Egypt I mean the Nile is a Egypt and river. Wait, the Nile is an Egypt.

[00:07:23]The Nile is a river in Egypt. your husband is gay.

[00:07:30]Shane is gay, Rose.

[00:07:33]Um, and she was just like, you know, maybe you will like it better with a guy. Like, and I'm like, oh, not you, Pete. But, you know, like she like, I know I'm good at what I do, so if you're not interested, it must be another reason why.

[00:07:50]So, um, like she thinks he's gay, like I said, and it was a moment of acceptance between Rose and Shane right here. It's like, okay, I'm now team Rose. Like, I love Rose now. I know I was talking [ __ ] about Rose in the last episode.

[00:08:09]Gorgeous girl. I don't have a problem with Rose. She was in my way of my happy ending.

[00:08:17]However, Karma, this moment is so beautiful to witness like one like I know when I came was like around my coming out era. I guess I had one female friend that knew like that I told explicitly and like you know she would talk me through things on when I was preparing to tell my family and things of that nature and just seeing how comfortable Shane is getting but how uncomfortable he is to admit it to himself. It's a beautiful battle between acceptance of yourself, but also acceptance of your feelings that is so beautiful to watch, but it's even more beautiful that someone that you had a connection with in Rose is able to guide that conversation with you so beautifully.

[00:09:18]This moment is so beautiful.

[00:09:20]My god, today um I never hated her. she would just stand in the way of my happy ending which I eventually got. But um she was just like you know if you are gay it's okay like you know this is not my first rodeo everyone at actors half the guys I date end up being gay or leave me for another man lot of this lot of that and she was like you know we I want to stay friends but like we're becoming best friends and it you know it was a beautiful moment of acceptance of like of Shane accepting within himself that he thinks like maybe I'm just gay, maybe I'm not bisexual, maybe I think he tried to, you know, have a moment with the female to see maybe if something could be different or maybe if you know if it's not and he found out, you know, this is not for me. I only like men. And he made a joke like she was like, you know, something with the peg and a hole and she he was like, you know, I'm the hoe that likes to be pegged.

[00:10:26]kind of prefer being the whole rather than the whole.

[00:10:31]>> Wow. That is the best thing any gay boyfriend of mine has ever told me.

[00:10:36]>> And I'm like, you know, I felt that. But um they ended the night outside and you know, hugged or whatever. And she was like, "Let's I want to remain friends."

[00:10:47]And she was like, "And I don't mean like when you break up, let's stay friends."

[00:10:50]No, she was like like, "Let's be besties. Like, let's be best friends."

[00:10:53]and that they were. And I love that because um I'll touch on it later, but you you start to see there's a character in each person's main character's life that a female is present and is needed in that that we have that gay best friend like relationship with. So, we'll touch on that later, but so um I was wrong about how things would end. I thought that Rose would get her heart broke. Rose didn't get her heartbroken, nor did Shane get his heart broken.

[00:11:28]Like, it was a mutual beautiful like culmination of their relationship as a couple, but it was a beautiful beginning of their relationship as friends. So, I was wrong about how things end ended.

[00:11:45]So, um, briefly we get to Ilia and Vet Lana and she's talking about hockey and how good and gorgeous Shane is. And at this point, I think we kind of can assume or I wondered if Lana thinks Shane is Jane. So, it's so crazy how Lily Ilia is that supposed to be of like a how they kind of sound alike because like Shane and Jane. Hm. I wonder if that's a thing. But anyway, so um and you can just see how Ila's just getting awkward like I mean he's good but yeah that's it. Like he's not going to say he's gorgeous of course. So fast forward we get to Tampa Bay at the 2017 Allstar game.

[00:12:34]Shane and Illy are at the bar getting drinks and they're just eye [ __ ] each other. They're at the bar getting drinks and talking, catching up a little bit and Carter stops by. Love Carter.

[00:12:47]Carter's such a sweet guy. We don't see much of Carter, but Carter is such a sweet guy. Um Ilia keeps asking about Rose and um finds out that they aren't together anymore. So they keep looking at each other up and down like just romantically like thirsting over one another with their eyes.

[00:13:10]So um they are like I said they keep eye messing with each other and um they mentioned like you know we just don't have great compatibility. um talking about Shane and Rose and then um remember that. So um they keep they just keep flirting bad. They're at the pool and they're like you could just the the animosity of like we need each other again is just so loud like it's screaming like let's we need we need our moment again. Um so they get on this the field um the ice. I mean they have great compatibility. Oh my god. Like, of course they already have it in bed and they already have it with one another, but on the ice, their compatibility with one another is crazy. Like, if they could ever be on the same team, I don't know how hockey works and like their positions that they play and everything, but if they could be on the same team, my god, today would they like kill it.

[00:14:07]But um then, okay, they keep flirt back in public at the game. At the pool and at the game, Shane um asked for his room number.

[00:14:22]Yeah, it was at the pool. I think it was at the game or it was it was at the bar. One of the two one of the three places. He asked him for his room number. Um I think was at the beach, but when they're at the beach like they're just talking about um they're talking about life and everything and they're sitting on the beach and like their hands kind of touched. It was so cute with the sunset. It was just so peaceful and so beautiful. Some things I might be missing because like y'all I was genuinely like enjoying like being mesmerized by the show. So some things I might be missing but we all know we all know what we watch.

[00:15:04]So um in the room you know instead of what we thought usually what we would see there IA and Shannon are having a deep and a serious conversation. Um but before this um I want to note that um Ilia had got a call from Alexi but he ignored it. remember that he Ilia ignored a call from Alexi.

[00:15:30]All right, so they're back in the room and Shane and I have a serious conversation and Shane expresses to Ilia that he thinks he's gay.

[00:15:38]>> I think I think I'm gay.

[00:15:48]>> Same.

[00:15:49]>> Oh, yeah. But what makes you think that?

[00:15:52][ __ ] you. You're not gay. No, not completely.

[00:15:55]>> Yeah, well I think I am completely.

[00:15:58]>> Okay, so you're gay. So what?

[00:16:00]>> Well, it's kind of a big deal to me at least.

[00:16:03]>> Understandable.

[00:16:05]>> Sorry if I'm being boring again.

[00:16:07]>> I also think that the sun is out. I think that we're in the month of May. I also think that um it's spring.

[00:16:18]Um, I think that this highlighter is a pastel peach apricot color pink. And so, as you can see, I'm just pointing out things that are obvious because it was quite obvious that Shane is gay. But it was funny because you're like, "Yeah, what else would you call this?" like um and he was like but like I'm only like I I don't like women and then he expresses that he think he likes Ilia and Ilia is just like you know like I can't do this I can't do that um I wouldn't be able to go back to Russia like if we went forward in that because and I like how they said like you know what would happen I don't want to find out because we know what would happen or what potentially happens to LGBTQIA plus individuals that live in Russia or that if you do are found out or something come of what might happen to you.

[00:17:22]And um then Ilia starts talking about he opens up a little bit about his father um and how his dad has dementia. And it was so beautiful because um one we also learned that his father and brothers are both cops or have been worked in the field of that or whatever.

[00:17:43]Um, IA starts to cry as he's talking about his dad and dementia. And it was so cute because like he started to cry like embraced Shane and Ilia. I mean Shane embraced Ilia and it was so beautiful because like I said one I got mad cuz I'm like oh my god they going to have to cry.

[00:18:09]Y'all killing me [ __ ] Y'ALL GOING TO START CRYING. I START [ __ ] [ __ ] break.

[00:18:19]Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. That was like a comforting kiss. Okay. I'll calm down.

[00:18:24]Oh my god. This is so much cool. They almost broke me in pieces. I love what their relationship is becoming and they really really need each other and like they want to be there for each other.

[00:18:37]But sometimes you really want to be with somebody, but sometimes it's situations and circumstances that can't, you know, that are in the world that makes you feel like it can't work. And that's what's happening here. But I hope they get their happy ending. I really do.

[00:18:54]Then he hop on his lap, start kissing them, but it was like a comfort kiss.

[00:18:58]But that's still odd. Like just hug me.

[00:19:00]You ain't got to kiss me. But anyway, um and then like Shane leaves the room or whatever. But what I thought was so funny, um there was a ginger ale on the counter and I'm like y'all and these ginger als really really cute. So let me get me a reup and we going to keep going through this episode. Hold on because my mouth is getting dry. All right. So, two weeks later, we're in Boston and Ilia invites Shane over and Shane was like, "No, we have a game today. You know, that's not good. You know, that's not smart." Shane's like, "Come on." Like, it'll just be an hour. No, I don't even know why he asked me this. Shane took that ass over there. Okay. Yes, daddy.

[00:19:45]I'm on my way. Um, and then we see while they're together, it was another call ignored that um, Shane, golly, after this, I don't want to say the name Shane and Ilia for a month.

[00:20:00]Ilia ignored another call from Alexi.

[00:20:03]This is like the second or third call he's ignored from Alexi. And we're like, okay, what's going on? So, I was wondering at this time, I'm wondering like something happened to his dad or something's happening to his father. Um, but just keep that in mind. So, um, then we get to the game and right before Ilia gives his speech, he ignores another call from Alexi. Cool.

[00:20:29]Then he calls one more time. It's the fourth time he done called this man. He answers and we get to the next day and it's Shane. And Shane is with his team and they're talking about Ilia isn't at the game. He's missing. He's not even here. And I think they were in Nashville or something some they were somewhere.

[00:20:47]And that's how we found out that Ilia's father had passed away. And um then Shane is texting him like, "Hey, are you okay?" And I'm like, "Shane, pick up that damn phone and call him." And he did. Of course, Phil didn't answer. But um it was so cute, too, because when he called, like I'm looking at the background of the kitchen, it's a ginger on the counter. like they really love these ginger ales. Like I think it's so cute. And then like back at the bar when he got there, he said there's no ginger ales or something like that and they got beers. Like it was so cute. Like y'all love these ginger also. I want a ginger ale. If you ever drink a ginger ale, like smelling it will make you feel like you just cleared your entire sinuses.

[00:21:32]That drink is so strong. And it's just like pop, but like it's so strong. I'm from the Midwest. I do not say soda.

[00:21:41]I call it pop. It is pop to me. You are not going to catch me saying soda unless it's like a a grape soda or a cream soda. But you're not going to call me calling You're not going to catch me calling pop soda. It's pop. Gotcha.

[00:21:57]Okay.

[00:21:58]Then we're in Moscow with Ilia and we see they're at like I don't know what it's called in Russia, but like it's in like America and what we do is like the um repass and things like the the ceremony after a funeral and things of that nature where the family's together just eating and having all that time.

[00:22:20]The repass, I don't know what it's called in Russia, but so we're going to say a repass. They were at the repass and we see a moment between Ilia and Alexi gets heated and like they're just arguing in the bathroom and Vet Lana comes in like I thought I heard some singing and he's like excuse me. He calls her like a dirty [ __ ] or something like that. And I punched that man right in his face as he should. Don't speak on my girl. This is Vat Lana. Don't speak on her. And it was so emotional because um she well in the scene you see Ilia tell Alexi like you can have my apartment and the trust fun will be set for my niece and she can um have it at 18 years old. Leave me alone.

[00:23:05]Don't ever reach out to me. Don't ever talk to me. Don't show your face to me again. If I do, I'll use my power, my notoriety, and everything to make everyone in this country want to punch you in the face when they see you. I'm like, I don't know what went down. I don't know what any of that, but we find out a little bit later, so we'll get to that. And um after this, it was so emotional because you don't ever see Ilia be sad or vulnerable. And in these this episode, I the walls were coming down because he he I don't think he could take it anymore. So, um yeah, you see that.

[00:23:41]And um it was just so so sad. But then we get to a moment with Zet Lana and Ilia and he's like after the fight, the scuffle or whatever, she's getting him together, cleaning him up before he goes back out to his family. And he says like, "I don't deserve you." And she says, "Yes, you do. However, you don't want me like I want you." And she was basically saying, you know, you want Jane.

[00:24:12]You love me, but not like Jane. like you love Jane. And then she says, "I hope he knows how lucky he is."

[00:24:22]I was like, "Girl, everybody know.

[00:24:26]Everybody know you." Yeah. Every Rose knew Shane was like, like, man, Vet Lana know. Well, she knew anyway because of like their time with Sasha and whatnot, but Vet Lana know knew like it's somebody else you got eyes on and it ain't a girl. you got asked for a boy like who? And I thought it was so funny because we see in Kip, Shane, and Ilia, there's all there's a female character that is like the person they confide in, especially regarding their relationships or their sexuality. It's literally just like y'all both have one person y'all can combine in. Who knows y'all like at this point, can Rose and Spana get together? like, girl, because y'all can't get it right, but these two already know what's going on. Like, let's wrap it up. But yeah, I love that they both each have and it's like, forget that that each character Scott, well, not Scott. We don't see a female counterpart in Scott's life as of right now, but we see it with Kip. Kip has Elena.

[00:25:38]Ilia has Vetana.

[00:25:40]Shane has rose.

[00:25:44]Mhm. Kit, I guess we can say Kit was Alana. Elena. Alana. Elena. It was Elena. Um Elena. And because he was already out, but he confided with her specifically about everything within her and Scott. Well, him and Scott, I'm sorry. Um everything with him and Scott.

[00:26:04]And I think they were the tightest out of the rest of his friends.

[00:26:08]And then you have Shane and Rose. Of course, that was the first person he told, you know, like I'm I think I might be gay or, you know, who had that conversation with him outside of course him and Ilia. And then um like I said, you have Ilia and Vetana. So, I thought that was just such an interesting um thing I noticed and I was like, I love that. Like I mentioned how I had a female friend that like I confid and everything into like we love a GBF like we always somebody GBF period but um then after this Ilia calls Shane and like well first he test like you know are you alone can you talk and Ilia calls Shane and just talks his emotions but you know like I said he's not there yet to where he can just be emotional with y'all. This part is bringing it back. It was so beautiful.

[00:27:07]Anyway, so he Shane gives him the idea to like, you know, hey, talk to me in Russian because I won't understand anything that you're saying. So, you know, pour out your feelings to me and just talk. I won't understand anything. And everything he was just saying is just so understandable. It was just I do everything for my family. I bring them the money. I I am the money. The clothes they're wearing, I bought them.

[00:27:35]The clo the the house they're in, it's because of me. Like every financial thing that you have and are secure with it is because of me. I wanted to take care of my father, but I had to go play hockey to go make this money to take care of my father. Alexis's upset with him because he wasn't there taking care of his father. Everyone just sees him as a walking bank. you know, I either can.

[00:27:55]All I'm doing is ask you for withdrawals. Give me more. Give me more.

[00:27:59]Give me more money. Give me more money.

[00:28:00]He's not a bank. You can't withdraw a deposit from that man. But they saw him like that. He was like, I don't I don't have anyone else in life now that my father's dead. There's no one back in Russia that I have besides Vana and you. And then he said, I love you.

[00:28:18]Say, He just told Shane he loved him.

[00:28:42]It was so beautiful. He was like, "I love you. All I want is you. I'm so in love with you. I don't know what to do about it.

[00:28:52]And remember that line, I'm so in love with you, I don't know what to do about it. But y'all, like that moment, like that hesitation, like that that wall that Shane allowed Ilia to bring down in a way that was so comfortable to him by speaking in his language so he can express himself. And Shane don't know. Shane don't know what you're saying. The only thing where he knows his father.

[00:29:22]That whole moment was so beautiful. But one week later, we're Montreal versus Boston. They're at the game. They're having a good time. They're playing against each other. Cool. Shane smiling at Ilia while he trying to make a move.

[00:29:40]He look back. He take his eye off the puck and he look back and boom, we have a collision between someone on um the Boston team and Shane. Shane is immediately injured. Um and Shane is hurt and Ilia is like concerned. You can hear the announcers talking like we know this is a heated rivalry between these two but like you know over the years some camaraderie has been set between the two that Ilia actually cares if something's happening to his rival or not. Um but little do they know he cared cuz he loved the boy.

[00:30:20]But um so it's so funny because once he get like you know walked out out with the stretcher he's like um have you call my parents like cool you're yeah you're yeah you're yeah you're yeah you're yeah you're yeah you're yeah you're yeah you're yeah you're yeah you're they're on their way uh your your coaches called them cool he's like tell them I'm fine he's going to worry um and they were like we told your dad and he's like not my dad but Oh yeah, this man has a concussion and a messed up collarbone.

[00:30:55]And this man is thinking about his man talking about tell him I'm fine, he'll worry. Tell him I'm fine. Like that man is unconscious really right now. Like he's out of his mind, but he's still talking about the love of his life. It's so beautiful.

[00:31:09]Uh, and then we see Ilia visits Shane in the hospital and just how like drugged up from the medicine in the hospital of course and everything. He just walked in the room. Hey you, hey Elia. Like it was just so cute like how happy he was. It was like on cloud N he was like there you are. Like it was just so cute. It was so cute. It was so cute. And then he was just like, um, I wanted to, you know, I'm mad that this happened because I was looking forward to our night. Um, you know, and it was something I wanted to ask you or tell you. And I think he, I was trying to stop him from saying it because one, I don't want you to say anything that you don't mean right now because you're high off of the medicine that's taking care of you. Or, well, not or and because he was like, this just is not the place. But Shane wasn't about to say anything like I love you or anything. He was like, you know, I was going to ask you to come to my cottage after the season's over.

[00:32:14]Then the time with Shane and Ilia are over for right now.

[00:32:21]But this is the craziest part of the episode.

[00:32:25]Craziest part of the episode.

[00:32:29]H. So, we're in May 2016 at the Ladier in Londear and um Shane's having a quick chat with Rose just talking about his health and things of that nature. Um and then he's watching the game with um his mom and his dad and Ilia is also playing injured. His ribs are a little messed up.

[00:32:52]Um and his mom is like, "The New York Admirals are going to win the cup this year." you know, IA's team is out, the Montreal team is out, the New York Admirals are in. I think they're going to win the cup. And he's like, wow. You know, him and his him and Shane is Shane and Ilia are testing like my mom thinks, you know, Scott and his team is going to win the cup. He's like, I mean, he's hot. Like, you know, Ilia just being Ilia, making a joke or whatever. So, the New York Admirals won the cup. And then, you know, you know, when the family's all bringing everything down and everything, you know, their loved ones to celebrate, you see Scott like just rolling around happy with everybody. And you see at the at the freaking game, Kip is there, Kip's dad is there, and Alana is there. So, I'm like, "Oh, okay. So, Kit's dad eventually found out or we're being, you know, we're you're alluding that Kit eventually told his father and I was like, "How did y'all end up at the game?" Like, well, clearly he invited y'all, but like I thought you would have been like, "Man, forget that boy." After things ended, it was well, didn't end badly. They just he just couldn't come to the birthday party.

[00:34:08]Like, they just kind of ended sourly.

[00:34:10]But, um, you know, Scott's just circling around and he looks at Kip and it's like, "Come on down." like he's gesturing him to come down and he's like what? Like what? And like Alana's like, "Come down." Like she said before, "Boy, wave. You see that man waving at you?"

[00:34:27]Um in episode, what was that at 3? Um he's like, "Come on down." And like the camera is like showing like, "Hey, yeah, Scott signaling someone from the audience to come down." And like you got a back and forth from the game to Shane and his family to Ilia and his friends watching the party. I mean the game at some party at his house or whatever. And then like you just getting that back and forth that back and forth and then and Ilia's like what is he about to do? Like what is he doing? And you see him bring Kip to the floor and Kip is just so cute. And he was like you don't have to do this right now. You don't have to do this for me. He was like, "I know. Like, uh, I I know what I'm doing." And Scott kisses K. Scott.

[00:35:37]OH NO.

[00:35:39]OH MY GOD.

[00:35:48]What the [ __ ] I'm coming to the cage.

[00:36:13]OH MY GOD.

[00:36:17]>> In front of the entire world and comes out pretty much in the most televised and like publicized way. But it was so beautiful. Like y'all y'all see me over here smiling like this. It was so beautiful. Oh my goodness, it was so beautiful. I was screaming. I was jumping on my bed. Like I was so happy because like that I was asking like, you know, I wonder will they get their happy ending?

[00:36:46]Will Scott Skip will Skip get their happy ending?

[00:36:51]And they got it. And it was just such a beautiful moment. And like Shane was shocked, Ilia was shocked, Vet Lana and everybody with Ilia was shocked. Shane's mother and dad were just like well I don't think the dad was in the room but the mother was shocked and like he immediately like Shane walks out the room because Ilia's calling him and Ilia said I'm coming to the cottage.

[00:37:27]And I just thought it was so beautiful because originally in the hospital, he was like, you know, I can't come to the college and everything. But after Scott did what he did at that at the game, his mind changed because it's like, oh, I see someone being brave and going after what they love and what they want. Bet, bet, bet. I'mma follow suit. So, he got to the cottage and that's where we left off at with episode 5 and yeah, beautiful show. Beautiful show. But there's one more episode left. But yeah, this episode was so good. And and it was so crazy because in the preview, like the little description, it said like Scott, I um Shane make, you know, personal decisions about their future, things of that nature. I thought we were going to get like each section like more time with Kip and Scott. Uh-uh. We only got the end of the episode, but sorry, but that was all we needed. like that was more than enough. And oh my god, it was just such a beautiful beautiful moment. Like it was oh my god like it reminds me of one of my favorite like gay movies I guess to call it. Love Simon and Love Victor. Love Victor was so good too. hate that they didn't they canled it but love Simon it that's what that reminded me of like that moment when he got to the ferris wheel and he knew like and you know that was the person he was talking to like that whole moment was beautiful that's what that moment reminded me of oh my god I went to see love Simon in theaters that movie did something for me and I was already out but like it just spoke to me like oh this is so beautiful and I love Kenan Ldale Like I love him. I love him. If you want to kiss the boy, then you got to kiss the boy right now. But yeah, guys. So, thank you guys so much. I'm literally about to take a little second and I'm recording episode 6.
