#I'm starting to wonder if theobel could actually happen

[anxiouspotatorants]

I'm a little conflicted about how they reintroduced Theo to the show because on the one hand yay tradition (episode 7 is always Theo-heavy) and I kind of love that they have gotten so close over the span of a year.

But on the other hand that angst/slow burn loving little shit in me wanted to see the journey. I want to know how they got to this point. To Mabel not being half bad (though still far from fluent) in ASL. To Theo naturally helping her pack her boxes. To the two of them teasing each other and casually touching each other and sharing knowing glances. How did they get here and how many people know about it and also can we keep it forever and ever?

Also, I do feel like there could have been more Theo in episode 7 if they wanted to keep the tradition. Like I completely get that it's hard to connect Theo tightly to this season's plot and themes, but maybe something about forgiveness since she's friends with him and fighting with Charles and Oliver could've worked? I've heard talk about him staying on for at least one more episode, so if this episode was more of a reintroduction to him before becoming more of a regular presence I certainly won't mind.
