So i’ve already seen a couple people talk about this but here’s how i think Nate and Colin’s arcs are gonna go this season:
Rupert is PISSED that he missed out on Zava. Even more so because it’s his ex-wife who managed to snatch him up out of the blue. And he sees how well they’re doing and knows that he needs to do something to really rattle them up and make them look bad. He doesn’t target Colin specifically, but when the photographer he hired to keep an eye on Richmond catches Colin and Michael making out? Well, to him that’s gold.
And we’ve seen Nate show small glimmers of regret and longing for the community and friendship he had before so far this season, but he’s the Big Star now isn’t he? He doesn’t need to worry about that. He’s harsh on his players because that’s the only way to get things done, right?
But when Rupert pulls him into the office all gleeful and shows Nate the pictures, that self-assuredness cracks. Because yes, he’s been mean to Colin in the past, but this is CRUEL. This could very well end Colin’s career and ruin his life.
So maybe he gives Colin a head’s up. Probably anonymously. And he’ll never be able to look at Rupert the same way again. (Unfortunately i don’t think there’s any avoiding Colin getting outed this season :( but hopefully Nate learns something about himself from all of this.)
