The episode cutting between Ryan losing his shit and yelling, and Shane outside laughing as he heard Ryan’s screams and sees his light flashing out the window is peak comedy but also high class poetic cinema.

When the boys are looking at the basement, searching for Peter, and Ryan hears something, the way Shane asks if he wistled it’s very casual, I don’t think he was making fun of Ryan or something. But the moment he realizes Ryan is serious about it after he yells, he stays silent and looking at him at first.

He right away starts making his funny voices, lookinig around as he starts a new bit. It cracks Ryan up in a second. And Shane keeps doing it until the man is laughing out loud and he’s no longer yelling and being frustrated for the sound.

Shane always, always searches a way to make the situation lighter for the two of them. And you can see it too, just to say another example, during the Hannah Williams episode, as they are in the master room and then the kid’s room.

He sees Ryan is getting tense and more nervous as they keep investigating. He first make the stupid yell that ″spooks ghosts″ and then ‘fights’ the whatever that is talking to Ryan in the room, laughing at its answers while Ryan looks at him to see his reactions. Both things immedately make Ryan laugh as well:

During the Lighthouse episode, later when Ryan is so visibly upset by what happened on his solo investigation, he doesn’t make fun of him. Shane checks on him and calmly says, well congrats. He knows that Ryan is nervous and it’s not the time to fight him on shit. I bet they did discuss it later, but in that moment what mattered was that Ryan was sweating, uneasy, and Shane keeps himself as calm as possible and just checks on him, and listens to him.

Aaaand this is why Shane is the best, and why the show works. He disagrees with Ryan, he doesn’t believe, but he believes in Ryan’s fear and anxiety, he believes in what upsets him because all Ryan is feeling is right there. It may be initiated by things he personally consider stupid, but the way his friend feels will never be stupid.

At the end of the day, Shane respects Ryan very much, he really loves his friend, which is also why Ryan feels so comfortable with him and it’s able to forget he is those terrible-for-him places, because Shane makes it easier to bare.

Their dynamic, as the seasons go by, has only gotten stronger and, like they have said before themselves, deeper. And it’s really exciting to see it on screen.

My favorite thing of Shane is how much he cares and how gentle he is.

During the show, we usually see him as this genuinely funny guy that has crossed as mean to general viewers whose comments have made the fandom angry in the past. But if you actually watch three episodes and more, you’ll catch up with the fact that Shane is actually a very kind, gentle person.

In his dynamic with Ryan we see him as someone who cares deeply for his friend. He has mentioned before, half joking and half serious, that they have been through a lot together and both have mentioned Unsolved has brought them closer than they already were before the show.

He cares so much for Ryan, you can see it in the way he will be softspoken and almost slow when the man is nervous, just like he was in this last episode.

He first let Ryan talk about what has happened after seeing he was okay. He follows him with his eyes even when he is smiling and once Ryan starts moving to get out the place completely, Shane follows and keeps talking to him.

The way he worries about him is also something I haven’t seen in many people, but especially men: he never treats him like a child in these situations in spite of being gentler in his speak and whole demeanor. He lets Ryan talk and listens to him, doesn’t even contradict him even when he doesn’t believe in what Ryan does.

Ryan’s nervouness for what happens to him during Solos, when he gets things he persives as evidence, are things Shane sees like something normal and I’m sure once Ryan is calmer, Shane may express his opinion on the matter. But at the moment, when Ryan is done with his solo, he never says a negative word his way.

In this case, he genuinely left Ryan talk and dominate most the conversation at the beginning, and once he was done, Shane let him know they had heard him and it was time to go, in part because they were done but also because Ryan so obviously needed to go.

He doesn’t stop looking at Ryan, keeps contact with him as he manages to make himself smaller at the same time he is standing firm. Makes you wonder if he has had a hand in helping Ryan (or someone else) with his anxiety when shit hits the pan when it comes to locations that may scare him/make him nervous. 

In this episode, we did hear him talk Ryan into finishing the investigation and put himself there where he was needed, because it’s their job. It reminds me of that story about how Ryan ran off the Sallie House almost on tears and Shane ran after him and comforted him before giving him a pet talk so he would go back inside and finish what they had started.

“This is our job now, finish the job”, something like that he said to Ryan back then. Three years ago? And now they here, in a place that genuinely scared the living hell out of Ryan, and that also gave them what can be considered a FBA.

This was my favorite part of the episode, because it’s their dynamic what makes this show so unique and the fact that they genuinely are friends and care for each other. And I love of Shane that the way he cares is so gentle, not many people is gentle, and I think that’s exactly what someone like Ryan needs when it comes to these places and the way his anxiety can get. They really are a perfect match for this job.

And that’s why the show works out so well.

What the FUCK was Shane doing during his solo? He is that meme of "I like to drop hints that I'm a demon" "I'm a demon" at this point!
