that scene in the kitchen where Greta and Carson talk about the other’s future is so well done. each of them jokingly expresses some deep-rooted anxieties they have about the other person’s future now that they’ve forged this incredible love story together, and that they have to part ways
Greta is scared Carson is just going to go back to being an obedient little housewife and pop her husband a few kids and not let herself blossom like she deserves to. Carson is scared Greta will go back to having short-lived flings no strings attached with a bunch of different people like she did before her.
they both really crave for the other to confirm that this fling meant something, that it wasn’t just a few weeks of fun, that life won’t just go back the way it was. they can’t ask for that reassurance openly, but these jokes express their doubts and Greta’s offer to take her with her to New York proves to both of them that their lives have been changed for good, that they will never be the same after this season, that even if they don’t live it right now they can both visualize a future they will share. the fact that they verbalize this impact they’ve had on each other the next morning is just cherry on top but it was present in that kitchen scene already.
