i’m a big stephcass shipper
But if they got together all i can imagine happening is bruce seeing them from the back of their heads kissing or cuddling and NOT assuming his daughter and his ally are together.
But instead Tim got back together with stephanie, like Cassandra looks enough like tim and then you put her facing bruce from the back, he’s not going to think ‘oh that’s cassandra’ and then cuddled up with stephanie?
When tim introduces Bernard to the family bruce just breaks down like
Bruce: “I thought you were dating stephanie.”
Tim: “Do you mean was?”
Bruce: “No you are.”
Tim: “You’re confusing me. I’m not, i haven’t for years??”
Bruce: “…no.”
Tim: “WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO?”
Bruce: “I refuse to accept that.”
Because who else was kissing Stephanie then? (it takes him a good two minutes to realise Cassandra and Tim really look alike side by side)
