When tim said lucy is different I was like hmm buddy are you sure? It's clearly not just a personal issue, nyla is very different from isabel too and still uc work ruined her life. I like that he wants to stay supportive but lucy better realize quickly what uc work does to a person and their partner
I really believe he believes it. And I believe it, too. Because I'm certain that there were many reasons why UC did to Isabel what it did. Ultimately, I think it just kind of shows that neither Isabel nor Nyla were with the right person. Because if they had been, they wouldn't have kept as many secrets from their partners. But I could be wrong.
And I think that's where the "Lucy is different" part comes in. Tim and Lucy are each others person. Lucy likes to talk things out. No, she couldn't share everything with Tim after an op, but she'd find a way to talk about the important things. The things he could help her with.
I've never been a fan of her going UC simply because of who she is as a person. But I could understand why she chose that in season 3. Now, things are VERY different for her. Not only did she miss out on Jackson's last few weeks of life because she was UC, Tamara has also become an even bigger part of her life. And now she's actually in a committed relationship with a guy she sees a future with. That's gotta make her think about what UC would mean not just for her, but for them. And I think it has.
To me, she didn't look all that convinced in that last scene. If you ignore Tim for a second and focus on Lucy, you can see that the wheels are turning in her head. Yes, she said she loves UC, but she already knows that Tim would be hurting, despite his "reassurance" that he would be okay. She's already thinking about what it could mean for them and their relationship. What it could mean for her to be gone for months. To not see him as much.
But I think as long as Tim isn't completely honest with her, and keeps being supportive, she won't make that decision. It'll probably take a traumatic experience or two, or an op to go completely sideways, or whatever, just something for her to truly see it, and for him to be truly honest with her. I know it'll probably hurt like a bit** but it'll be necessary to move that storyline forward.
I know they'll make it work, that there won't be a break up or even taking a break, because that wouldn't solve the problem. The only way to solve the problem is by talking about it. The only question now is whether that will happen this season or at the beginning of 6.
And honestly, I'd very much like to see Lucy thinking about another career path and choosing something different next season. It would be a very interesting storyline imo - having basically decided to go one way only to see "no, this isn't what I want" and choosing something else? Yeah, I'd love to see that. Because it would be such a strong and powerful storyline imo, to show that you can admit that something wasn't right for you. Or that you value a different aspect of your life more.
I don't mind her becoming a detective, at all. But I think I'd love to see her get on a similar path as Captain Andersen: a woman of color in a position of power in an otherwise male dominated job.
But we'll have to wait and see.
Hope I could provide a little more "insight" or whatever and that this made sense. My brain feels like mush now. Help. 😅

I apologize in advance for the next week, which I am going to spend lusting over Kieran Culkin, dreaming about Roman and Gerri, and reblogging 864346799 Succession posts.
Sorry, y’all.
