what if matt and pidge meet in s3 but then matt pretends to not know who pidge is (aka his sister) and its like comic relief for a few episodes into the season with pidge trying to convince matt that shes his sister
but then we realize later in the season that he does know that pidge is his sister, because hes staring at her fondly and treats her like he treated her pre-kerberos. but we also realize that he seems to be keeping a few more secrets to himself. we see matt sneaking around for no reason, only to just make up
then in season four we realize that he wasn’t released or didn’t get out scot-free. hes being tracked and bugged, and he knows this. so he doesnt let the people listening in knowing that pidge is really his sister, nor anything abt voltron.
