so someone on twitter was able to find a higher quality clip of the rina spin dip from the new promo video, and looking at it now it's very clear that val is definitely in the back of the scene when it happens. any thoughts, predictions or theories on what this'll mean going forwards in the season? (assuming this is a more private moment between ricky and gina)
ah hi oh gosh yes i saw those on the tl last night (which is when this ask was sent probably lol)

that is definitely val i would have to agree. i do think they're probably rehearsing a scene here... but that doesn't mean that val can't be noticing something that feels beyond just the scene itself going on between them.
if this is from 305 like i've seen predicted (and that would make like- a lot of sense for it to be 305, for reasons including the fact that's the one and only actual rehearsal episode we have this season that we know of...) well there's a good chance even if this was sorta a more private thing... not in front of the whole group... maybe val notices sort of a vibe between them and talks to ej and carlos like- hey y'all this is interesting... and carlos being carlos is like- let's use this-
like- real life chemistry between romantic leads question mark...
that's one heck of a headline for sure. and given ej's the one who goes too far in 305... maybe he does something he ought not to, and ends up making gina uncomfortable given her history with ricky that for all we know ej doesn't really know about.
we'll definitely see how it goes, but it is good to remember that this season the timeline is extremely compressed, and the setting too- so everyone's going to know everything about everyone. no private moment is going to remain a secret too long...
and ej is going to potentially be in for a rude awakening over how close gina's gotten with ricky since val cast them against each other.
