Amazing how, even when you know it's coming, it hits like a truck!
The implication that Scott could have been her hero since the beginning makes me want to play what if (maybe one day). The level of comfort Scott and Haley have together is palpable and makes everything hit so much harder. I love that he's willing to admit how wrong he was, and she can tease him about him being a dumbass. The fact that he has to fight to keep his hands off her when she's trying to change the subject is a nice touch.
And poor Haley. She's beating herself up even knowing she couldn't have stopped this. She's in so deep she can't see what's going on.
For now, she'd let herself believe that he loved her.
That is heartbreaking.
Remy has a lot of puzzle pieces to put together and it seems like Dare is just not going to let him see the picture. He's always good at picking up things, even when she doesn't want him too. Present news included. I love that he gets why she keeps things close in ways that only he can really understand among the bunch of them.
Also I am glad someone close to Dare realizes that the three people closest to her haven't done enough to fight back her negative self-talk. Maybe Haley gets some back up now? ;)
The difference between Dare burying the news further and Haley just blurting it out is lovely. They really are two sides of the same coin with a lot of this stuff. Also, the renewed, through ever present threat of the goblins and Sinister in their room... yikes. You know he's always there, and always probably watching, but to put him in that space ups the game in a big way. Well done!
Here's hoping Remy can pull Dare out of the nothing again.
Great work, hun. The shit has officially hit the fan and the fall out is going to be spectacular, I have no doubt!
