Just rewatched the season 2 finale of lovesick and I remember being genuinely, totally devastated by how things ended (for context when I watched this the first time there were no plans for a third season). The agony of feeling like if Evie had just spoken up, or even just shared her news a minute sooner, she and Dylan would be together (and Evie wouldn’t be sad anymore, my number one desire in life). Coming back to it having watched the third season, however, I’m realizing that the writers were right not to have their characters get together yet. Evie needed to end things with Mal, not so that she could be with Dylan, but because she wasn’t happy with Mal.

At the end of the scene she says “of course it’s about Dylan,” but it’s not about Dylan. At least not entirely. In the flashback where we see Evie make her decision to end her engagement, we see her talking about her doubts with Angus, her “ache for another life.” She says (in a piece of dialogue that breaks my heart!) that she thought all of her doubts were just because that’s who she is. Evie genuinely believes herself incapable of being sure and confident in love. She thinks she’ll never be the sort of person who’s at peace in her relationships. She thinks that is an element of her character, and not a function of the relationship she’s in.

Evie’s decision to break up with Mal needed to come independent of her starting a relationship with Dylan. She needed to learn first that her relationship problems are not a fundamental flaw in herself, and second that she can’t go through with a marriage that she doesn’t feel right about. Regardless of whether she ends up with Dylan, Evie can’t just force herself to marry someone when she isn’t happy that way. She deserves to be happy, and she’s capable of being happy. Breaking up with Mal is about Dylan and her feelings for him, but more importantly it’s about how, Dylan or no Dylan, Evie now has faith in her own capacity for love, and she knows this isn’t it.
