I think that this last episode next week is a culmination of the tarlos drama. They have to wrap up the wedding venue issues, the annulment/divorce issues, and the tension that has been building since the beginning of episode 3. I think it's going to explode into a really great reunion scene/maybe an actual hospital scene where they wrap it up. Granted, we aren't going to see EVERYTHING we want, like Push, but Ronen did repeat in an early season 4 interview that it would be similar to the "tim pulls people apart to give them beautiful reunions"

I think it is too. I hope we get a good Tarlos conversation but I don't think we will. With Carlos being held by a serial killer I think when they do get back together, they won't touch on what happened and just will be grateful that they're back together. Which I like, I love the beautiful reunions and I'm so excited to see them coming back together. The angst is going to be great. God I hope they hug and just like hold onto each other like they're never going to let go.

Let's talk about the EP!!

TK and Carlos both have one (1!) guilty pleasure - individually and as a couple.

What are they?

I had to have a long think on this because it really is such an interesting question.

Guilty Pleasure as a Couple: Watching Romantic Comedies together the more cliche the better. TK is the one who gets Carlos hooked on watching them. TK always laughs and finds them funny and adorable. Carlos, more often than not because a hopeless romantic, ends up crying by the end of it - he just believes in love so much. They were 100% the first in line to see Bros at their local theater, both thrilled beyond words about there being a gay Rom Com. They both end up crying at the end of that.

TK's Guilty Pleasure: Listening to Billie Eilish. People know that he listens to her, but he still claims that it's a guilty pleasure. He knows all of her songs, little fun facts about her and has most definitely been to a concert or two. She is his to listening when he's having a rough day or is upset about something.

Carlos' Guilty Pleasure: Carlos likes trashy, reality shows. It's something he even hid from TK for awhile because it's not necessarily good TV. But sometimes Carlos just wants to shut his brain off and watch something stupid. His favorite is Jersey Shore and he goes back and watches the repeats a lot.

I mean I also didn’t think the breakup was in character for tarlos when we first heard about it prior to the premiere, but they managed to make it fit for them and how they act. At this point I’m mentally preparing for any stupid possibility and then will turn to fandom to explain in very in-depth meta posts how whatever it is makes sense for the characters 🤣

The breakup was 100% more in character for Tarlos than Carlos Reyes having a secret marriage will ever be. TK is a runner, he had run several times in their relationship and before their relationship had ever started. It's what he does when things get too good or he feels like he's gaining happiness that he doesn't deserve.

Yes, Carlos keeps secrets, he hides parts of his life form the people close to him but this wouldn't be something he would hide I believe that with every fiber in my body that Carlos wouldn't hide being secretly married or having been married before.

Because Carlos Reyes is not a cheater and he would not do that to TK.

Everyone who is saying that Carlos is already married is implying that he's a cheater and that blows my mind. Carlos wouldn't cheat. If he was already married, he wouldn't be with TK and he damn well wouldn't have said yes to TK. Carlos being already married would destroy TK.

Carlos having been married and now living as a divorced man doesn't fit into who he is either. He's never wanted to rub his parents noises in him being happy, but at the same time I always get the vibe that nobody has ever been good enough for Carlos to show off to his parents. And if he had been to the point in a realtionship that he got engaged and planned a wedding and got married - he would not have left his parents out of that. They would have talked and had the conversations they needed to have before he got with TK and he wouldn't have been as worried or scared to introduce TK to his parents.

It just does not fit who Carlos is as a character and how they've led us to interpret his character.

It's not the wedding strictly speaking, but I'd like to see Lou two again tomorrow. Like maybe TK proudly showing him off to his cousins and Carlos' niece and nephew at the rehearsal dinner. Or we could have him resting on top of Buttercup with matching bowties 😆

I fully believe Lou II will be in attendance, he has to be. TK can't leave his child at home or with a baby sitter, he has to come along with them.

Let's talk wedding!

I don't like calling people stupid cause I'm an empath and I.... Who cares.

I just wanted to say that the people who say things like "Carlos is calling Iris his wife(cause she unfortunately is, haha), they will reconnect and sleep together." give me a HEADACHE. Like.????? What show these people are watching? Ugh

WHAT. PEOPLE ARE SAYING CARLOS AND IRIS ARE GOING TO SLEEP TOGETHER?!?!

Did they miss where he said they were married in NAME ONLY?!?!?

Also, idk, the fact that Carlos is GAY and not a cheater?!?!

I'll call them stupid for you.

Anyone who says this is stupid.

They're not going to sleep together. They're FRIENDS. Carlos wouldn't do that to TK.

Fucking hell these people are going to give me a headache.

Obviously we're watching two different shows.

Just wait til we get home 🥵

we're going to ignore the fact I went 9 words over.

Implied smut under the cut:

Carlos both loves and hates TK’s oral fixation. 

It was fine when they were alone in their home and Carlos could do something about it. However, it was not when they are out with their friends and TK just had to have a sucker.  

As much as he tries, he can’t will himself to not sport a partial as he watched TK’s tongue twist around the bright red lollipop.

Who knew a sucker so hot?

Finally, Carlos stands up, crosses the room, grabs onto TK’s bicep, and pulls him in close, lips brushing against his ear.

“Just wait til we get home… that sucker’s going to be my cock.”

Loved the episode! Was great to see Carlos consumed with worry about Iris, and struggling with his part in it.

We’ve seen him be reckless before, with TK when he was kidnapped, but last night was a whole other level, and IM LIVING FOR IT.

I also loved TK and Carlos having a silent argument, but still loving each other enough to be close together.

Im excited for more!

Yeah! I really enjoyed the episode, I think this storyline has been really compelling and has a lot of interesting parts. I love getting to see Carlos being reckless again and on a different level than last time!

Oh yeah! I love that little moment on scene when they were close to each other even though there was tension between them.

I think the whole tortured by SERIAL KILLERS thing is too much, he's never gonna be the same person after this 😔

It's okay to think it's too much. I'm someone who enjoys things like Criminal Minds and Horror stories, so I'm kind of excited about it. I don't think it'll truly be as bad as people are assuming. It is a primetime show, they can't be too bad.

Let's talk the EP!
