I think there’s some subtle tells in this episode about Alex’s feelings towards Theo
For example, when Theo tells Alex he likes him, he says “you’re too good for me Theo” which seems like a nice thing to say but also gives off an avoidant vibe to it (you’re too good for me =/= I like you too)
Also it seems like Alex pulls his hand away first? Maybe?
ALSO, Alex practically glows when Jon simply texts him wishing him luck on his first day, but Theo comes in, admits he’s been coming in every day for a month, says he likes him AND grabs his hand and there’s barely even a blush from Mr Vitalis.
I feel sorry for Theo (not enough too not want my OTP to prevail though) but the writing js definitely on the wall
ALSO ALSO, if Theo is going to tell Alex he has a child, while I think that’s it’s a great thing he’s an involved parent and wants to find someone who will be a part of that part of his life, I don’t think Alex is in a great space right now to be step parent material, if you know what I mean. That’s probably a huge jump from “I like you let’s maybe make this more serious than casual sex”, but I think it’s also an important note to acknowledge
Alex is at the lowest point in his life. He has neither money nor love, and resorts to sleeping on a friend’s couch, waiting for his life to turn around.
Jon is a normally happy-go-lucky guy, thrust into a new city and is in desperate need of a friend.
A chance encounter with each other at a bar on New Year’s Eve changes their lives forever, and a story of love, friendship, and family is born.
