I get that we have a lot of angst coming but so you think Ian and Mickey will be together and happy by the end of the season?? I’m stressed. I just want my boys to be okay.
I WAS ABOUT TO SEND AN ASK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THIS RN, WTH??
No, but seriously. I do believe they will end the season together. Gallavich is basically what's bringing some (much, maybe) of the audience back so the producers/writers will milk it as much as they can but ultimately won't break them up. The backlash from the audience could be too much, I don't think they'll risk it.
The latest spoilers say that Mickey storms out of the courthouse. What I believe is going to happen: Ian proposes, he accepts. But maybe he's still affected by the memory of his first wedding or something else happens and he can't go on, can't sign the papers, leaves Ian there. Maybe this is what prompts them to (more spoilers) see other people? But we also had (more spoilers) someone saying something along the lines of Ian making an effort to win Mickey back (it's not exactly this they said but I can't find the post rn but I believe the print is on @camxnoel-updates).
To conclude: I do believe they will end up together but not married. They will be not so happy in prison (as shown in the teaser/trailer), then somewhat stable outside it (they have individual storylines this season as well; we'll see Ian dealing with his PO that is dirty and Mickey has to deal with the cartel and with getting a new job + Terry and the other Milkoviches (and so far I don't have a clue on how this particular storyline will go down but that him meeting Terry will be somewhat humourous 🙄🙄; I've read that somewhere)). Then maybe they decide to see other people and then Ian does something to win Mickey back and then proposes but Mickey can't go through OR Ian proposes, they don't go through with it, Mickey storms out, they decide to take a break, Ian does something to win Mickey back and they end the season together but not married (if I had to bet, I'd bet on the second).
Maybe the producers already have their eyes on a potential s11 and they're going to hold on the gallavich wedding as a potential way to sell it? That's what I chose to believe, but I'll keep my clown shoes nearby. 😅
