Martin mentioned trying to keep a balance in the Jeller relationship. For anyone who has been following me for a while, they must know that I am perhaps obsessed with balance in relationships.
If, for example, a couple breaks up, if one of them dates someone else before getting back together then the other should as well. A lot of shows out there UTTERLY fail at this.
What I want is for there to be some time where things are switched. Jane wearing her ring while Kurt doesn’t, for example.
And I don’t want this to have a quick fix. Kurt kept the (now known to be untrue) secret of killing Jane’s daughter, but Jane cheating on him is really quite bad. It’s not something that should be swept under the rug.
If they throw these two back together after like one episode, I’m going to be pissed. I don’t want Jane to tell Kurt about what happened, and then for him to get over it in the very next episode or something. That’s not even slightly realistic.
I want it to be acknowledged that Jane fucked up really badly, and I want Kurt to be pissed about it. He went through a lot of shit to find her while she slept with someone else. He’d have every single right to be pissed about that for a while.
And I want him to be. I want him to finally take off that ring and show that his faith in their marriage is not infinite. I want her to put her ring back on because she believes otherwise. I want Kurt to finally have a reaction to the decisions Jane made over the last two years because he got over that so quickly the first time.
Despite all of that, I’m expecting them to do a quick fix that they see as cute and romantic, but is actually just dismissing the hurt that was created. I’m going to be so done with this show if Kurt’s pain is relegated to the background once again to make things as easy for Jane as possible.
She had her reasons, but Jane abandoned her husband for a long time, and as we found out, cheated on him, and Kurt’s response the first time was a few harsh words before things were fine again.
I hope the writers actually let it play out this time, although I doubt they will.
